Well after saying I wouldnt get it becuase I didnt think much of 1 or 2, I fell for the hype machine when getting my food shopping last night, as soon as I walked through the door there was a huge great big display with loads of copies stacked up. so i chucked a copy in with the shopping.
Had a quick blast last night, I didnt have a clue what was going on with the story, i guess it helps a great deal if you have played 1 and 2, would a recap for those that havent been to much to ask?
Initial impressions wernt fantastic, the score is very impressive, as is the voice acting but the graphics were very underwhelming, the charater model in particular looked pretty week.
My old bugbear soon showed its head, the main reason why I didnt get on with the 1st 2 Halo games, the weapons and enemies. I dont know what it is, but I just dont like laser guns in games, they seem to have no umph to them, there quiet, weak and quite frankly dull, I had it blaring out through my 5.1 setup and the firefight sounded pathetic (im gonna try and look in the settings, see if I can make the guns louder). there is just no satisfaction to using any of the weapons. As for the emenies, I know its going to have aliens in it due to the game setting, but do they really have look like my seven year old designed them, its like your going to war with CITV. Sorry, rant over, I just like to have proper grunty guns and nasty looking sods to blaze down in a shooting game, atacking pink & perky with a feather duster just doesnt get me involved.
Ill stick with it as the reviews have been quite something, so there must be something im missing. Im sure if it had proper guns and decent ememies I would be loving it. the actual fighting seems prtty tight, and the multiplayer options are really something special, fans of the series are gonna be playing this for years.
