In Halo: Combat Evolved it's the year 2552 and you play as a super
soldier codenamed Spartan 117, but is usually called Master Chief. In
the game the humans (you) discover a planetary ring called "Halo". You
fight a religious group of aliens called the Covenant who don't want
you on there ring. You have other marines fighting with you, but you
mostly go alone in the game.
Halo has a great story to the game other than being just a shooter. You
have a variety of guns, vehicles, and gadgets with you in the game like
assault rifles, pistols, sniper rifles, tanks, warthogs (jeeps),
banshees, grenades, etc. The guns fire well have a nice sound and feel
as well as vehicles, grenades go boom everything. In the game you have
health, but you also have a shield. It acts as a buffer for your health
until you really take damage. What's good about it is that it recharges
and it can help you beat a mission without health frustration. The are
10 levels with terrain variety like snow, urban, grasslands, etc. The
sound and gameplay is good, but the graphics are kind of outdated.
Halo: Combat Evolved is a great game for the PC and is lots of fun. If your a fan of a shooter than you better go buy this game.
