    • ]]>     Three years after I started playing it I have finally finished Halo, the first one, on the original Xbox.  It is one of the most aggravating games of all time.  Between the stupid and constant arena death traps and the ridiculous vehicle controls and physics I can’t see why anybody thought this was a great game when it was released.  Maybe the multiplayer or co-op was more fun, I don’t know.  But I didn’t enjoy the single player campaign, hence why it took me so long to beat it.  The only reason I kept going back to it is just so I could say I’ve finished it.

    Graphically it’s still a decent looking game, back in the day it was great looking.  The musical score was excellent, the Halo theme is iconic at this point, the sound effects were ok, and the voice acting was pretty good.  The story was alright, but not strong enough to keep me engaged.

    Basically, if you haven’t played it yet, you aren’t missing anything, don’t worry about it.

    Now on to Halo 2.
