X Box games review

The X Box games review looks at X box games, and where they are going. One of the first big games for the X Box is Halo.

Halo

Was released about four years ago, and has an excellent replay value, great story, and action. Which is what the game really is, a great action game.

I got this game about three years ago, and the game is one of the good reasons to get an X Box. I have finished it over three times, in each of the games different difficulty settings, and each time I play it, I wish the AI, which stands for Artificial Intelligence, and is used for the aliens race in the game, would be a bit more difficult. Don't get me wrong, when you play the game in a higher difficulty setting,like Legendary, it can be very hard, but the enjoyment of playing with the aliens in the game can be very fun and exciting.

The game environments can also be very immersive, as they put you in the thick of the action within the game. The game starts when the warship the Pillar of autumn is under attack by a race of aliens called the Covenant. The ships captain, decides as a last resort to activate an experimental soldier from his cryogenic sleep, which is you, the Master Chief.

You are equipped with an environmental suit, that also has a built in Motion tracker, that detects enemies that are close, and also recharging shields that protect you from enemy fire.

The ships captain gives you a task, which is to protect the ships A.I. the Cortana, from the alien race. This is where the game begins, and you are only equipped with one weapon a gun, but can acquire others in the game, like the marine assault rifle. You can also get energy weapons from the alien race like the phaser rifle, which can shot a burst of plasma, and can also be used to charge up energy and send a high energy of plasma at the enemy.

The only downside to the weapons in the game, is that you can only carry two weapons at a time. In addition to carrying weapons you can collect weapon charges, and grenades. There are two kinds of grenades in the game, fragment grenades, the ones that blow up and make a lot of noise, and Plasma grenades. Plasma are the one the get stuck when they land on something and can be a lot of fun throwing at the alien race.

As the game begins, you have to try to get out of the Pillar of Autumn, which is being invaded by the aliens, and get to an escape vehicle. As you make your escape out of the warship, through hordes of aliens, you get into the thick of the battle. When you find the escape vehicle, along with the surviving human marines, you escape to a mysterious ring shaped planetoid called Halo, which is a mysterious alien created environment. Most of the game takes place in this environment, and as you play the game you find out more about the mysteries of Halo .

Along the ride you can find a lot of vehicles to drive like the Warthog. A 4x4 vehicle jeep, equipped with high powered machine gun mounted at the back. Playing in the co-operative mode you could drive and a friend use the gun along with the human marines that are in the game. You also come across a lot of other vehicles, and can drive or fly alien vehicles. The Ghost is a hover bike armed with twin plasma guns, and the Banshee is an assault aircraft.

In this X Box games review we have looked at Halo, because it is one of the most stunning games on the console, as it shows what it is capable of. In future X Box games review, it is the goal to look at games which show how the X Box uses most of its capabilites.
