This truly is the reason I bought an Xbox. In fact, I didn't pick up Halo 1 until about 6-7 months into me owning the Xbox. I have always been a fan of horror, and FPS games are some of my favorite.

I remember playing this in the arcades, dropping quarter after quarter into the machine just to click that plastic gun a few more times. Yes, it's a short game. Yes, you can run through it in about 2-3 hours, maybe less.

But oh, the replayability. And, you also have HoD2 on this game as well. Plus since it's so short, you can pop it in and get a few shots off, hell maybe even beat it, before work or school (for you youngin's).

It's a classic. It's a purchase. Enjoy.

  If you have a light-gun and a compatible TV, BUY THIS GAME. But even if you don't, there's still a lot of fun to be had.
