Halo's 10th anniversary certainly deserves celebrating but a HD remake only serves to underline how little the series has moved forward over the years.

An excellent remake with a loving attention to detail and a useful range of extras, including full online multiplayer; Classic gameplay and levels for a very reasonable price

Too much of the game looks indistinguishable from later sequels; New graphics are not top flight and the loading waits for them to cache are annoying

To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of not just the original Halo: Combat Evolved, but also the original Xbox hardware, Microsoft and new Halo series developer 343 Industries bring us a remastered version of Halo called Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

In the end, Combat Evolved Anniversary is a strange package. Its campaign feels half hearted, neither fully remaking nor preserving the original game. The Reach multiplayer maps, while excellent, feel tacked on to the package to attempt to justify this being a full disc-based release.

I am not much of a multiplayer fan but love a game with a great campaign, this version of Halo: CE allowed me to relive the glory days of the original all over again! I've played through a half dozen times already and am finally back to the level that i think i can handle Legendary....

For the original Halo: CE lover, this is pure heaven; The game play of the original with all the good looks of the latest; Worth spending the money on

The first time through was distracting...; be ready to clear a room and then tour it

An ambitious remake of one of the most memorable campaigns in the history of first person shooters can now be relived with wonderful hd graphics with some of the best multiplayer maps from the first game.

I love Halo, and I said how much I was looking forward to playing this on my Halo 3 review, of which I claimed was the game of the decade. This Halo is terrible. First off, it feels old fashioned. It's basically the same game as it was 10 odd years ago, just with better graphics.

Pretty much none

Boring; bland; repetitive; stupidly difficult and thick AI

The trouble of reviewing a remake is being subjective to the original content and whether the standard of game 10 years ago is as good or relevant as it is now, so for the purposes of this review I won't go into depth of the original game, but simply what are the changes that have been made.

After crushing the Covenant and retreating from Reach, it only seems fitting to end up right where we began in Halo Anniversary, a commemorative update of Combat Evolved that brings the series full circle.

Halo holds up. That's the main takeaway from Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary , a remastered re-release of the ten year old game that established console systems as a viable place for shooters.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is almost as good in reality as it ever was in your memory. The graphical update is welcome and the multiplayer maps are decent if not amazing. There are a few rough edges and cracks around the once infallible gameplay, but nothing that would stop you enjoying Halo:...
