Description
“Halo: Reach,” developed exclusively for Xbox 360 by acclaimed developer Bungie, is the blockbuster prequel to the best-selling Xbox franchise of all time. It represents the culmination of Bungie’s 10 years of experience crafting groundbreaking “Halo” games that have raised expectations for what can be achieved in a video game.
In “Halo: Reach,” players experience the fateful moments that forged the “Halo” legend. It’s the story of Noble Team, a squad of heroic Spartan soldiers, and their final stand on planet Reach, humanity’s last line of defense between the terrifying Covenant and Earth. This darker story is echoed by grittier visuals amid a backdrop of massive, awe-inspiring environments. Characters, enemies and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine designed to deliver epic-scale encounters against the cunning and ruthless Covenant.
Once the campaign is over, the battle continues online with an unparalleled multiplayer experience that expands on the award-winning suite of features that helped define the Xbox LIVE experience.

"Best Halo game - sadly the last one!"
Halo Reach is the last Halo game from series creator Bungie.
Well it may be their last, but it is one heck of a game.
Graphics: The graphics are very much improved over Halo 3's and features a lot of nice textures and art work.
The Elites alone have over 8 different skins. It's important to note that the art work overshadows Halo 3's.
Gameplay: Gameplay has evolved quite a bit from Halo CE to Halo Reach and while Reach came before Halo CE, the game play bears quite a bit of similarity to Halo 3 except for the addition of armour abilities. These change the game play quite a bit (for the better) adding a layer of strategy.
The pacing is excellent and firefights are great - very chaotic.
Firefight: Firefight 2.0 as Bungie has called it is very much more fun filled out with 7 different modes compared to Halo 3 odst's one mode - overall a very good addition.
Multiplayer: This is the game mode everyone will play at least once with excellent matchmaking and widely varied maps. Plus the new armour abilities add more to the overall experience.
Campaign: The campaign is the best in the series with a very satisfying ending and a vastly improved story that has multiple characters
(Jeorge noble 5,Kat noble 4,Emile nobel 3,Carter noble 1,Jun noble 2) and you as your own character - noble 6. The 5 other characters provide depth and emotional weight to the story.
Overall, Halo Reach can be played and enjoyed by Halo fans and new comers.

"Looks Amazing"
Bungie has put all of their effort in this game and by looking at the videos it is going to be amazing. Unfortunately ODST did not live up to the hype that everybody had for it, but I can tell you this, Reach is going to be the number 1 game for a long time. With its all new multiplayer system and campaign you will find yourself loving Bungie and their new release REACH!!!!! 10/10

"OMG SO BRILLIANT! "
Halo Reach is everything a Halo fan has ever dreamed for. All that was lacking from previous Halo games is here and then some. This is Bungie's love letter to their fans and they've definitely gone out with a bang.
