A solid game that definitely has an audience. Might lack replay value, could be too short or there are some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.

Halo 5 for Xbox One is the best first-person-shooter in a long while, although it is one that carries several compromises. It pushes the sci-fi series' gameplay forward, but lacks features from older versions. Online battles are great fun, but the campaign's a slog.

Excellent combat; Addictive multiplayer; Buttery-smooth 60fps; Great soundtrack

Pay-to-win microtransactions; No split screen; No drop-in/drop-out; Weak story; Poor squad AI; Uneven visuals

Game Info The flashy television commercials for Halo 5: Guardians would have you believe that Master Chief, hero of Earth and the scourge to the Covenant, has "gone rogue" giving cause for the UNSC to send out a squad of new SPARTAN-IVs to track him down.

My well-used ears do seem to want the higher volume levels of the M80 on the Xbox One, but the ultimately, when chat gets added into the mix, the A40 + M80 delivers with an audible online experience worthy of the ASTRO Gaming namesake.

They removed the local multiplayer from the game, and this is what i bought it for... So thumbs down from me!!

Graphics

No Local multiplayer

game arrived on time and in excellent condition

I have played the Halo series from the beginning, and I really enjoy the games. Halo 5 did not disappoint! The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are awesome. Streaming to a Windows 10 pc was smooth as silk! If you are looking for a great game for the holidays, look no further!

All the hype and exclusivity make Halo 5 an essential game for Xbox One. If you own an Xbox One, Halo 5 and Tomb Raider are likely reasons we buy Xbox. While I love Halo, I cannot help but feel some things beyond the graphics are overdue for upgrades.

Halo 5: Guardians' multiplayer is a fantastic evolution of what the series does best that will keep you busy for months to come, but its campaign feels uninspired compared to its predecessors.

Bought this game for my son for Christmas, not sure how good the game is but I purchased it from Zavvi as their customer service is great, speedy, no fuss and always keep you up-dated. Great to deal with.
