The culmination of a decade of awesome!

User Rating: 10 | Halo: Reach X360
This is what a first person shooter is supposed to be. A perfect prequel to Master Chief's story arc, Halo Reach is truly the masterpiece of Bungie's decade long Halo run. Microsoft will have big shoes to fill in trying to come up with better Halo gameplay, story lines, and multiplayer environments in future renditions. Graphics are fantastic as Bungie rebuilt their entire graphics engine so that details at massive distance look brilliant through a sniper scope. Sounds, be they the hum of a warthog, the rat-at-tat of a battle rifle, or shattering of a neddler shard, are crisp and clear. Perhaps even more than the other Halo franchise games, Reach makes the player feel like the entire survival of the human race is pending their actions. Playing as Noble Six, the player's failure would have spelled doom for Cortana and thus Master Chief's mission would have failed before it started. Fortunately for ONI and the UNSC, you are up to the task.... aren't you?

Long live Master Chief!
