Halo: Reach Xbox 360
Product Review
Release Date: 14 September 2010
Halo: Reach, developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, is the blockbuster prequel to the best-selling Xbox franchise of all time. It represents the culmination of Bungie's 10 years of experience crafting groundbreaking Halo games that have raised expectations for what can be achieved in a video game.
In Halo: Reach, players experience the fateful moments that forged the Halo legend. It's the story of Noble Team, a squad of heroic Spartan soldiers, and their final stand on planet Reach, humanity's last line of defense between the terrifying Covenant and Earth. This darker story is echoed by grittier visuals amid a backdrop of massive, awe-inspiring environments. Characters, enemies and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine designed to deliver epic-scale encounters against the cunning and ruthless Covenant.
Once the campaign is over, the battle continues online with an unparalleled multiplayer experience that expands on the award-winning suite of features that helped define the Xbox LIVE experience.
The Halo: Reach multiplayer beta, on track to be the largest beta program of its kind on any console, is expected to see millions of participants when it begins in May. Players can access the multiplayer beta on Xbox LIVE through the Halo 3: ODST disc.
- Meet Noble Team For the first time, players will fight alongside a squad of iconic Spartan soldiers, each with deadly talents as unique as their individual personalities and customized gear.
- An intense campaign Live the events that set the stage for the Halo trilogy as the UNSC and Covenant clash at the height of their military power. New weapons and abilities complement the familiar Halo arsenal for the largest-scale battles ever witnessed in the Halo universe. Fiercely cunning artificial intelligence (AI) adds depth and complexity to each encounter, helping make every play-through a unique and epic experience.
- Stunning technical advancements Halo: Reach takes a massive leap forward through all-new engine technology designed to take full advantage of next-generation graphics, audio, special effects, AI and animation while continuing to expand on the campaign, cooperative and multiplayer sandbox in a way that only Halo can.
- The definitive multiplayer experience Building on the success of its predecessors, Halo: Reach sets a new standard for competitive gameplay, customization, variety and community integration.
- Unparalleled feature suite Halo: Reach expands on the industry-leading features found in Halo 3, including four-player cooperative campaign play, split-screen support, saved films, screenshots and exciting new surprises that have yet to be revealed.

You played Halo 1 and/or 2? Then play this!
Halo Reach is my first Xbox 360 title and suprised me with an interesting story, new weapons and (finally!) new enemy types. Buy this and you'll have some nice time in single AND multiplayer (a good buddy for coopgaming recommended!).

A fitting end to the Bungie legacy...
To finish a story we must go back to the beginning... That is exactly the tone taken with the penultimate game in the Halo series from the creators Bungie. By going back to the battle for Reach, before we play the role of the famous protagonist Master Chief, we must see how the state of affairs got to being so. So how does it work as a continuum of the Halo universe? It is a wonderful compliment to the series and after (arguably) dipping in terms of its single-player storyline delivery over the last couple of releases (Halo: ODST and Halo 3), the talented Bungie devs have managed to pull it out of the bag creating a wonderfully moody, characteristic and almost personally affecting ending to the story. With the recent re-release of Halo Combat Evolved: Anniversary from 343 Studios, this is an excellent way to say goodbye to the Bungie perspective and it is delivered with aplomb. Excellent storyline, visuals, exceptional sound and gameplay that defined pretty much every first-person shooter on the market today, from control schemes to delivery of an intoxicating experience. I whole-heartedly recommend this wonderful, wonderful addition to the Halo legacy.

Halo Reach
Halo: Reach is a very good game there is only one real Spartan, but these guys will fill up the hole quite nicely. Good graphics and not too short. Could be longer and air missions with enemy aircraft would have been nice touch but all in all it's a good game which could be recommended for anyone who loves a spot of action.

Halo Reach
Halo: Reach is a great game, The single player mode is excellent but a bit on the short side. Halo's multiplayer modes are the 'real deal'. So many modes and options to choose from. Firefight also adds a nice dimension to online play. Really glad I purchased this game now and would highly recommend this.

Halo Reach - AMAZING
What a title!!!!!!! Much improved from Halo 3 in graphics and game play. Loads of nice little touches to the game including the suit customisations. By far the multiplayer is the best part of the game allowing users to vote for a map before each round. Microsoft, 2 massive thumbs up for this..... you've saved the best til last. 5 star

The Best Halo So Far
I've played all the Halo Games so far and played this one at a gaming expo. Bungie have really worked hard to create unique graphics and gameplay, a new campaign, totally different from anything else and a fantastic multiplayer experience. It is by far the best Halo so far and Bungie will have a hard time improving it for a new Halo!!
