Good Points
Amazing graphics.
Bad Points
Repetitive game play. Halo is similar to every shoot-em-up game out there.
General Comments
There is nothing special about Halo. Though it has a storyline and amazing graphics, there is nothing else that stands out about the game. You could take a simlar game like CounterStrike and it would be the same game play.

I\'ve read reviews on the PC version of this and apparently on a good system its as good as the Xbox version. I have to disagree with the review here.....In my opinion Halo re wrote the FPS rule book and was, on its release date, nearly 3 years ago (on PC) was cutting edge. Some levels do get samey, but all in all it was, and still is, an epic gaming experience.

There are always going to be similarities between different games of the same genre. That doesn't necessarily make them bad games. You could do the same with Max Payne, Dead To Rights and the Hitman series. They all reviewed well, if essentially very similar.
I found Halo particularly good as it delivered a story with excellent graphics and gameplay.

Is that so? Then tell me, what is the difference between say, Counter-Strike and Halo? Doom and Halo? Every Shoot-em-Up and Halo?
