It was ten years ago that Halo: Combat Evolved was released on the original Xbox. The series would go on to create a standard for the first-person shooter genre and arguably help secure the Xbox as a household name.

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...

19th November 2011 - I've been a fan of the Halo series since I played the first game as a kid, in a living room, surrounded by pizza boxes, empty Coke bottles and friends. To me, there's never been anything quite like the Halo series when it comes to fun with mates, and Anniversary is no exception...

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is combining a new generation of Halo fans with an older one. For the awesome price of $39.99 you can experience the game that got the Master Chief ball rolling.

When Microsoft handed the Halo torch from Bungie to 343 Industries in 2010, fans of the series were distraught that their beloved franchise was no longer going to be in the hands of its creator.

Seamlessly switch between old and new graphics; Gorgeous redone maps from Halo: CE and Halo: 2; Campaign collectibles explore Forerunner history

No energy swords in campaign; Campaign remains tedious in parts

It's Halo but with updated graphics and music, though you can easily change both back to their original states from the pause menu. No noticeable changes in gameplay minus your jumping reaching a shorter distance. I definitely recommend this for any Halo fan who still uses their 360!

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.

What is there to say? If you love the Halo series and especially if you played the original many years ago like myself then this is a must. Especially nice touch is that although they've uprated the graphics in the remake, they've actually included an option to play in the original graphics.

Online Play; Great Value; Graphics,

Very well done remake, but a second play through does highlight the flaws in Halo that the excitement of the original didn't. Notably The Library level, which is just pure repetition and frustration. Very difficult as well.

I am amazed what 343 studio's have done with halo combat evolved, the graphics are soo much improved and game play has not changed at all making this for me the best halo has ever been, I really hope 343 studio's do a simular remake of halo 2, I had the original but playin this really does feel like...
