"Looks Amazing"
5 stars"

Bungie has put all of their effort in this game and by looking at the videos it is going to be amazing. Unfortunately ODST did not live up to the hype that everybody had for it, but I can tell you this, Reach is going to be the number 1 game for a long time. With its all new multiplayer system and campaign you will find yourself loving Bungie and their new release REACH!!!!! 10/10

"Truly amazing"
5 stars"

The newest yet to be released Halo game, “Halo Reach” is looking like it is going to be the next great game. With a huge graphics and game mechanics revamp it should be truly great. Another thing that most fans will be overjoyed about is the return of the elites. With improved AI and a new threatening look the new elite will take you back to the days when brutes didn't go berserker with their lame AI. All things considered I would advise getting it before the price goes up to $120-$150 (It will). For loads more info and epic screen-shots go to: www.bungie.net

Peace to the Universe : )

"The final?"
5 stars"

Bungie has been making Halo: Reach since the end of Halo 3 in 2007. By October that will nearly be 4 years! And if thats not all, Halo: Reach is the last of the Halo series to be made by Bungie! It's going to be big, probably the biggest game of all time, even though its only coming out on the Xbox 360!

If I was a Halo fan, which I am, I would pre-order as soon as possible because most likely, this game will run out of stock super fast! An example of this is Microsofts original Xbox, a few weeks after the release, Microsoft had ran out of Xboxes! There was huge demand for them and they were being sold on eBay for $1000 plus! I believe this may be the case with Halo: Reach.

"Intriguing"
5 stars"

It's good to see Bungie and Microsoft exploring the missing section of the story line. How the Master Chief ended up in the Pillar of Autumn at the beginning of Halo: Combat Evolved. However, for those of us who have read the back-story it is a wait and see as to how closely the developers are going to stick to the pre-defined back story they had written. It also promises to enlighten us as to whether or not the Master Chief is the last (Technically) surviving Spartan II or not.

"Great comeback"
5 stars"

So after months of trailers, and even the beta, I still was not quite convinced that reach would be what it says it is, now after viewing the new vidocs (on youtube), I have finally decided that this is one title I want in my collection. Bungie have fully fixed the forge mode, they have addressed all the problems found in forge from halo 3. And from what i've seen of the campaign it looks like it could be one not to miss. But don't take my word for it, look up the vidocs for yourself, you'll be back :)

""Over the Hills and Far Away""
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Well what can I say; the new (and last) installment of the Halo saga looks amaizing. Search up on youtube and you can find many previews of the game. One of my most favourites is forge world, aparently the biggest map you can forge with. Also in other halo games theres always a barrier that leads to the background well now you can go there. This is what hooked me into bying this game; and if that doesn't hook you in to get this game then I do not know what will. 5 stars.

"This will topple Halo 3"
5 stars"

If you thought that Halo 3 was an epic, then you're right. If you think that Halo Reach is an epic, then you are wrong. Halo Reach is not an epic. It is THE game that will define the realm of FPSes forever. After witnessing this miracle, I have no doubts that it will be the fastest selling, most sold game of this decade – 2010–2020. Many developers will surely try to imitate Halo Reach, but none will be able to achieve the success that Bungie has acheived. Bungie deserves a genuine thanks, for it's FPS defining series, for it's Halo series. I am deeply saddened that Bungie will no longer produce Halo games. Long live Halo Reach, long live Bungie.

"The halo saga reinvents its self"
5 stars"

Bungie have gone all out putting all their best qualities from the previous 5,(halo1,halo2,ha­lo3,halo wars,halo 3 odst) Odst wasnt what I thought it would be but halo reach looks like its going to live to its hype. Firefight, new improved forge,matchmaking and of course the campaign Reach Falls septeber 2010

"Bungie is back!"
5 stars"

This game looks incredible. With ODST being somewhat disappointing, it looks as the though Bungie have gone all out to bring the Halo franchise back to the front of gaming. The forge, multiplayer, gameplay and graphics are hugely improved on. Can't wait.

"Hoping for a great story"
5 stars"

I really enjoy the Halo games. Combat Evolved showed me what console shooters can deliver, which was a difficult task for a PC gamer like me brought up on Doom and Quake.

But more than the gameplay and graphics I'm excited about the story. I've read and own all of the novels set in the Halo universe and the story arc is just fantastic. Halo 3 touched on themes explored in the books and I suspect that Reach will bring more of that to the fans who know more about the canon than what the games deliver by themselves.

I just hope the game itself brings the story and emotion that the novel “The Fall of Reach” did. I'm looking forward to finding out.

"Promising"
4 stars"

I've played the beta. And it was awesome. I thought it was a great evolution of the halo series. Better graphics, fluid gameplay and amour abilities are an excellent addition to the Halo formula. However, it was only a beta, and it was multiplayer only so I can only give it a 4/5. But, based off the multiplayer beta, I have pre-ordered the limited edition. And am looking forward to it.

"Forging a path to destruction"
5 stars"

Finally after 10 or so years we get to see what truly happened at Planet Reach. Yes fans alike will rejoice as Bungie's latest and possibly final Halo creation comes to life. But what is all the fuss about?

Well as you know many fans and reviewers have been hyping this titled up for sometime now but why? Is it because of what looks like a fantastic story driven campaign? Or is it the ability to matchmake into that campaign? How about the extensive multiplayer capabilities? Firefight, Forge World, normal multiplayer you name it. Or is it something to do with the improved gameplay, the polished character models, the music, the jetpacks, holograms, sprinting, armor lock, and various other new abilities your character has. Or could it be that your multiplayer character is the main character in the campaign?

Bungie in my opinion have truly out done themselves with this final Halo installment, they've given the community basically the ability to do what the Bungie team have been doing for the past decade.

Though I am a bit disappointed Mighty Ape isn't offering the same preorder goodies other firms are, it's still one damn good looking game nonetheless.

My advice for hardcore gamers is to order this game now, for those new to the franchise I suggest you rent it before you buy it just so you know what you're getting into.

This game gets my approval. Bring on the Limited Edition!!

"Please dont O.D on the hype"
3 stars"

One thing i have learnt from the Halo series is that promotion goes a long way as far as making sales goes. The 1st Halo was pretty cool, not fantastic but had some great things about it. When news was released that they were making a sequel everyone went nuts! and they really pushed the promo work for it on a huge scale. When Halo 2 was released it was completely average. barely anything had changed from the first. The same thing happened for Halo 3, completely over hyped to the point of becoming nauseous. While I'm sure Halo Reach “could” be great… experience would suggest hiring before buying another bungie game. Halo wars was crap and i cringe at the thought of how many Halo fans just went out and bought the game just because its part of the series. Bungie are great at promoting their games but very little actually goes into the life of them. Sure there are plenty of players for online multiplayer, but i can think of half a dozen games out there that have 10 times the quality of online play.

Dont be a sheep on a bungie cord, hire before you buy.
