Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Great Game. Great graphics and story and gameplay and everything. This game rocks. It's a great game and a must buy for all gamers. Get it.
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: Graphics hold up pretty well, killer story, excellent marine AI.
Weakness: Suprisingly system killing, a bit short, hallway levels get extremely boring.
One of the most legendary gaming titles has come home to the PC, finally. Halo is one of those games that everybody talks about in hushed tones and I have no doubt that some people have shrines to the Master Chief in their closets. Much like Star Wars, pretty much nobody can approach this game with an objective attitude anymore. What the hell, I'll try anyway. Graphics: For an engine that is...
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: everything that was on xbox and more. love the multiplayer add-ons. all around a good game.
Weakness: has some driver issues with lower radeon cards. cant run a nvidia FX 5200 non ultra. Halo is a system hog..
don't worry about that one review with xbox lover said the game works very well with the new radeon drivers. altough i was able to run it very good on my geforces 2 and 3. halo is a good game nomatter what he says.
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: Great detail.
Weakness: Need a fairly good system to run at high res.
Love it. The new multiplayer maps are awsome. Same great story line as XBOX version. Online gameplay is great. Also, I'm not sure about you alone... But I have a Radeon 9600 pro, Athlon 2700+ and 512mb pc2700, and I run this game at 1024x764x32x85 and it runs great!
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: This game is a classic, full of constant action and very fun to explore the wonderful levels, many features.
Weakness: If there is any weaknesses, it is that person who gave this game a bad review because he is an Xbox fanatic.
This game has wonderful graphics, and many different foes to kill. There are many vehicles and a vast sum of weaponry, and this game is very fun. I mean; how fun is it to run over vast amounts of aliens with a car? how fun is it to punch an alien in the face? You know how fun it can be, this game is a classic, and I believe the only game that surpasses it is it's soon-to-come sequal, Halo 2.
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: huge worldscapes, beautiful maps, good gameplay, and good weapons.
Weakness: no save-anywhere feature.
I'd like to say something to alone. Alone, you may not have your graphics resolutions turned up. You may want to change your video settings in game to the highest possible supported by your video card. THEN, you can rate this game. Otherwise, don't say it sucks, and that the XBOX version is better, because you haven't fully tested the game to its full extent. Any-Hoo. I love this game. I've been...
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: most of the game
Weakness: needs a good computer to play nicely
Overall, it is a wonderful game, and don't listen to the Xbox lover, this is much better than the xbox version (i played it before) and if you have a fairly new computer(didnt run as nice on my old computer), its the game you would want in your collection. It runs well with me, i use Nvidia Geforce Ti 4600 P4 2.66 MHz,everything works well. good luck in legendary level
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: Good plot, good detail, vehicles, good (standard) FPS
Weakness: Lots of "been there done that", check point only save, System requirements, enemy AI
Halo is more of the standard FPS fare, though excellent executed! It feels strangely familiar and doesn't seem too far from Unreal II or UT2003 in many features. (The major difference are the vehicles that 'only' Halo has, but UT2004 may catch up soon.) If you already own the XBox version, too little difference may not justify the $50 investment. Do I recommend this game? Well, if your rig is...
Microsoft Halo: Combat Evolved v.1.0
Strengths: gameplay, graphics, multiplay
Weakness: BSOD at times, needs uber-system to enjoy all graphical glory
This game kicks x-box a$$! I played the x-box version for quite some time and that controller SUCKS! Carpal tunnel syndrome hurts. You x-box girls can keep your x-box and your carpal tunnel. Now it's another three years wait for Halo 2 to hit the PC. Halo is also much easier to hack on the PC and it comes with more multiplayer maps and weapons. I just need to upgrade my system, but heck I always...

TopHalo: Combat Evolved
I held off on purchasing an Xbox, afraid that it was just some passing phase Microsoft had unleashed upon the world. But it caused me to miss out on many of the great hits of our time, including HALO. In fact, it has been the most successful Xbox game ever, selling over three million copies. Granted, this little “I won’t succumb to the powers of Xbox” charade didn’t last long, and I...

Though Halo’s choppy visuals are a bummer, the gameplay still shines.
TopHalo Combat Evolved
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last two years, you've already heard about Halo: Combat Evolved. Easily one of the best launch titles for any console and still one of the best games available for the Xbox, it's a game that transcended the market. Though it hasn't quite enjoyed the same visibility in the public consciousness as titles like Grand Theft Auto or The Sims, Halo is,...

IF YOU READ our 25 Most Overrated Games Of All Time feature a few weeks ago, you know that many of us at GameSpy HQ felt Halo -- while a great game -- wasn't quite as perfect as other critics made it out to be. When I reviewed the Xbox version in late 2001, I couldn't shake the nagging feeling there was still lots of room for improvement, whether it was due to the gamepad controls , the lack of...

The acclaimed story base FPS Halo for the Xbox is coming to the PC. Basically the exact same game, except for the multiplayer aspect!
