While this is not too exciting, it does get the job done. To say this is the coolest looking game I have seen this year, would be an understatement. Trees with leaves, homes with thatched roofs, snow falling, roads, grass, and other exceptional detail work make this the finest looking game available. Not merely background, the graphics are also carried into the gameplay. As your militia hack the enemy into tiny pieces, blood and limbs are scattered over the battlefield.
Explosions stain the earth black and head really do roll.
Bungie has given the game so much realism, you find yourself screaming at the soldiers when they don't obey orders. In between the game play, there are highly detailed ancient maps and animated movie sequences that add to the look and experience of the game. The maps are finely detailed and also contribute to the plot line. This is a true step forward in gaming. A rippling darkness radiates from the soundtrack.
