I bought the original halo when it first came out and have played and bought every halo game to date, and I have got rid of them too(ODST,Reach) I loved the first one a lot, but this game is nothing but updated graphics and co play and multiplayer no new weapons or making the game easier for...

Aside from a few local multiplayer matches with friends and family, I haven't played the origi

Beautiful new graphics; epic gun battles

Still too much backtracking and environment recycling

I'm surprised at how much there were able to update the original game. Even though the original wasn't an ugly game the graphics are such an improvement in this anniversary edition. The online play is just as frantic and crazy.

Great for nostalgia. Newcomers should enjoy it too. Fantastic 2-player co-op. Play with revamped graphics and music or the originals. Even includes the multiplayer engine from Halo Reach so you can go online with it, albeit with different maps from Reach itself.

Good review. Sounds kind of like it's around a 7ish in 2011 at its core and an 8 with the enhancements. At that rate, the millions of people who thoroughly enjoyed the original Halo will probably be able to play the game relatively and enjoy their 9.5+ rated experience from so long ago.

I'm starting to doubt the value of the score in video game reviews (83 is fine, not my point). There is such an inflation issue with the perspective of readers that devalues anything less than 90 to pure trash. Anyways, for Halo CE fans this game is a 100.

Halo . Those four letters and three chords are more than just a game. It's a potent symbol of Microsoft's success, a global franchise and a banner behind which millions of gamers have rallied. We've had anime films. We've had novels.

Halo's singleplayer campaign is still peerless; Excellent graphical overhaul; Surprisingly solid Kinect integration

Performance problems and inexcusable crashes on older hardware; Half-hearted multiplayer options; Questionable value at RRP

It's been 10 years since the Halo franchise burst onto Microsoft's original black block, and with that comes the inevitable High Definition rehash of the shooter that transformed Bungie into superstars and Master Chief into an icon.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary takes the original game and faithfully brings it into the HD era. Utilising a new graphics engine from Saber Interactive, we see the original game code running under the new graphics with both engines syncronised to give you the legitimate Halo: CE instead of a...

Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Review Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary is a full recreation of the game that launched the Xbox brand, warts and all, brought up to date with a lovely visual makeover, plus optional 3D and Kinect support.
