You'll be blasting aliens on a mountain meadow, commandeer a buggy and lay waste to baddies on the beach, then hop out and enter an alien fortress, all with no load times or delays. The seamless environs work well with the story, which is continuous and twisting. Bungie, the developers, promise us an engrossing plot that will appeal to hardcore sci-fi fans. Halo supports multiplayer in either splitscreen, cooperative, or LAN modes. In fact, two Xbox units can be connected via the crossover cable and eight players can deathmatch using the four-player splitscreen on each Xbox.
Cooperative mode allows two players to experience the story together, working in tandem.
This is a great attribute that really extends the life of the story mode. The visuals and graphics of Halo are truly impressive. The game features immersive special video effects and amazing audio. Dialogue is yelled at you in the heat of combat and there aren't too many cinematic scenes where you do nothing. Everything about this game is geared to get you inside it.
