**** BACKGROUND **** For those that do not know, Halo 4 is the fourth entry into the Halo series. Halo is a first person shooter that has become a staple of the Microsoft world with its main character, Master Chief, being a mascot for the Xbox gaming system as Mario is to Nintendo or Sonic is to Sega. The original three titles in the series were designed by Bungie Studios. The latest addition was designed by 343 studios and is considered the start of a new trilogy to the Halo series. Prior to start on Halo 4, 343 studios gained experience with the Halo series by re-visiting and re-doing Halo: Combat evolved, the first game in the series released on the original Xbox console, as Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for the current Xbox 360 console. With the switch in developers, many have wondered if this title would live up to the reputation established in previous games. To put it mildly, yes, Halo 4 is a worthy entry into the beautiful world that is Halo 4. ++ Halo: Combat Evolved (Original) ++ Halo 2 ++ Halo 3 ++ Halo 3: ODST ++ Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary **** STORY **** The Halo gaming series is known for deep involving story lines through each entry. Halo 4 is no exception. The Halo story lines are one of the many key aspects that make these games as great as they are. The story picks up five years after the end of Halo 3 with Master Chief, the protagonist of the game, adrift aboard the wreckage of the UNSC frigate with the AI Cortana who is operating past her natural life span. I do not want to give away key plot points but the game is not a straight forward shooter as previous entries could tend to be. The story of Halo 4 attempts to be more exploratory and mysterious in the events as they unfold. The game does set it up to be the first in a three game story arch as it does not quite answer some of the questions are you left with after Halo 3 leaving you hoping that those questions are addressed in future titles. One thing to note is that the story line is not slow paced. You will be up and shooting at the Covenant, the antagonists of the game, in no time. **** GAMEPLAY & COMBAT **** The game has some of the most polished controls I have played on the game never encountering frustrating moments like I have experienced on games part of other series. Your character has the usual assortment of "right gun for the right situation" and ability to carry two at a time, a long established rule of thumb in First Person Shooters for some time now as well as selection of vehicles to of try out. The levels do not feel as constrained or paint by the numbers but feel a little more open ended. They also flow naturally from running on foot to the inclusion of vehicles to operate. The enemies, as I wrote under CHALLENGE, have some of the best AI programming I have seen in a game series. As you set the difficulty on different higher levels you can see how the addition of IQ points to the enemy **** GRAPHICS & PRESENTATION **** The cutscene CG graphics are breathtaking showing that, even though the game system is six years old, there is still limits in which the console can yet still be pushed. This continues onto the actual gameplay itself. This is a must as the Halo series are considered the staple of the Xbox and is what other games should measure up to and strive to be. The game series is a representation of the Xbox and its potential. I have the game hooked up to a 5.1 Home Theater and the sound is incredible. The composed score really creates an atmosphere that draws you into the game. The sound of weapons being fired, explosions, and the chants of the Covenant had my two labradors on the edge of the couch wondering what was going on the entire game time. **** CHALLENGE **** Truthfully, I am not the greatest gamer in the world. I love games, I never claim to be good at them. I played Halo on the Normal difficulty and it gave me a run for my money while still leaving me with the Heroic and Legendary levels to tackle. The enemies still display some of the best AI I have seen. Sometimes fighting the enemy I feel as if I am connected to Xbox Live and am playing against a human opponent who truly is thinking on the fly and not some preprogrammed act/react code. The enemies are that challenging on single player campaign. I never did encounter those moments where you feel like tossing the remote at against the wall. **** MULTIPLAYER **** Online multiplayer was not utilized at this time as I am having issues with my Xbox Live account. My nephew, who is sixteen, picked up the controller prior to taking off for school. For cooperative play, you can have two players sharing a split screen. If we were able to connect to Xbox Live, we could have up to four players playing at one time. **** CONCLUSION **** This game is a worthy addition to the Halo series. This title is a definite "MUST HAVE" for the holiday season and any Xbox 360 console owner who enjoys First Person Shooters or needs a game to show off the potential of what their game machine is capable of. I would even go as far as saying this is in the running for my "Game of the Year."

As a long-time fan of the Halo series, I was excited about what I was hearing before Halo 4 was released. 343 Industries, picking up the reins of the franchise from Bungie Studios, seemed as though they wanted to take everything great about Halo into new and exciting directions. So, now that it is out and half of the civilized world is again leading the Master Chief through an alien battlefield and their own Spartans through on-line multiplayer war games, the question is: Did 343 Industries succeed? The answer depends on what your expectations were. By every measure, Halo 4 is an awesome game. The graphics are among the best I have ever seen on a console game. The gameplay is smooth and, so far, virtually glitch free. The multiplayer games on XBox Live are again fun and addictive. But did 343 Industries break any new ground with Halo 4? I would say not really. But please don't take that as a negative -- what 343 Industries did with an aging franchise is nothing short of extraordinary. The story of Halo 4 is by far the best of the entire series. This is the first time that the story of Master Chief and Cortana feels personal and imperative. Not only is Master Chief fighting to save the galaxy from a new terrifying foe, he is fighting to save his AI companion and friend from rampancy, a sort of computer version of Alzheimer's disease. That story element adds an emotional depth that makes the story seem more immediate and important. As far as gameplay... well, it's Halo. It's a first-person shooter in the best tradition of first-person shooters. If you like first-person shooters, especially previous Halo games, you will love this game. The environments are huge and varied, and the graphics gorgeous. The paths to objectives, as is typical of this type of game, are fairly linear, but that is just the nature of the beast. 343 Industries does not break any new ground here, but they did make it about the best kind of first-person shooter I have played. There are lots of new weapons and vehicles to play around with, but again they do not significantly change the way the game plays. Multi-player matches on XBox Live are, as always, completely fun, addictive, and an easy way to spend many, many hours. It feels smoother than I remember past versions of Halo multi-player being, but the game play doesn't break any new barriers. Halo multi-player, however, is about as good as on-line play gets, so that's not a complaint. One area of Halo 4 that does feel new and innovative to me is called Spartan Ops. As part of the game, 343 Industries is releasing new weekly episodes that expand the storyline of the main game. Each viewable episode includes five new playable chapters that can be played alone or cooperatively with other players. 343 Industries promises 10 episodes comprising a first season. Hopefully, there will be more seasons after the first. But at the very least, these first 10 episodes with 50 playable levels, a free addition to the main game, add great value to Halo 4 and dramatically lengthen the life of the game. Most games charge extra for new levels and added content. That's not to say that Halo 4 will not charge for extra content (in fact there are already extra map packs and add-ons available for purchase), but at least 343 Industries is giving new game content over an extended period of time and not charging extra for it. I applaud them for it and hope that other game makers will take notice and follow suit. So does Halo 4 live up to the hype? I think so. It is by far the best game in the mostly excellent Halo franchise, and everything about it is nearly perfect. It doesn't try to redefine the first-person shooter, and in fact covers very familiar ground. But the story and gameplay are second to none. I haven't had this much fun with a new game in a long time. And with everything that 343 Industries has packed into the game, I'll be having fun for the foreseeable future.
