Halo Reach Review

Hi again i just wanna get rid of the other blog that i had but i wanted you to get the main information of it. This is the IGN's review of the Xbox 360 game called Halo Reach :


One final mission before the inevitable end, and one last push for this gifted team who have redefined the art of war; at the climax of Halo: Reach's campaign it's not just the planet that faces its downfall. It marks the end of one of the most lucrative partnerships of this generation as Bungie bids farewell to the universe it so spectacularly introduced in 2001.

There are no half measures or compromises here for either Bungie or the team of Spartan soldiers that lead the charge of its single player campaign. This is a full-blooded final effort that brings together the very best elements of the series' past while pushing those basics further forward than ever before, and there's none of the anti-climactic theatrics of the second game or failed experimentation of ODST. It is combat not only evolved but refined and perfected too, and the result is what's possibly the best in the series and subsequently stands as one of this generation's best shooters too.


So what has changed? For a series that's often accused of taking baby steps there's a surprising amount, though so well worked in have the new elements been that it all still feels familiar. Armor abilities certainly have the biggest impact, with all seven of them shaking up Halo's combat in their own unique ways. Jetpacks are the headline addition, and quite rightly so - they make some satisfying cameos in the campaign and are a neat new tool for multiplayer too, though their effectiveness is sensibly kept in check. New players overindulging their temptation to soar the skies provide easy pickings online, and it's clearly a toy that's best used with reserve.

Other new tricks are equally spectacular and perhaps even more effective. The holographic decoy can prove indispensable on some of the tighter maps - and it's always a pleasure to lure someone in before flanking them to indulge in one of the new assassination kills – and the ability to sprint brings an edge of dynamism to the battlefield. They're smart, cool and most importantly each one feels more integral to the game's make-up than Halo 3's equipment.


The iconic arsenal has also had a lick of paint. In keeping with Halo: Reach's more grounded tone, weaponry is more raw and more coarse; the assault and plasma rifle, the game's bread and butter, are both now so violent in their depiction they feel like they're about to tear your hands off, and even the pistols feel more ferocious than ever before. It's all helped along by some wonderful sound design; Marty O'Donnell's score again nails the mix of sombre and stirring, but it's the ripple, roar and pulsing of gunfire that's the real star of Reach.

New additions are just as well realised, and they're an explosive set. The Spartan's M319 Grenade Launcher is fun if a little messy as it sends its ammunition bouncing around the scenery, but with a touch of finesse it can pull off some of the most pleasing kills. It's met on the Covenant side by the Plasma Launcher which can fire off up to four sticky grenades, and like the Needler it can track the enemy. Needless to say, attaching the full allotment to an enemy is a very special pleasure. 


The new features are well woven into a campaign that stands as one of Halo's best. Taking place near exclusively on the surface of Reach, it plays its action straighter than its predecessors. There's a fatalistic air handing over the story of Noble team, something that's told through to the muted palette of the planet itself. It's a more human place than Halo has been before, with artefacts of its civilisation strewn throughout the game, and it's host to a more human story as well.

Not that it's a particularly great one. While it's certainly more direct than the incoherent tangle of lore that was Halo 3 it's no more engaging. Noble 6, the campaign's lead, is a blank slate – no doubt to accommodate the customisable armour that can be kitted out in exchange for credits earned across the game – but the rest of Noble team are little better than a grab-bag of clichés, and while the inevitable tragedy that awaits Reach threatens to be affecting, it's ultimately sci-fi pulp that takes itself too seriously. The real concern is that some of the colourful vistas of Halos past have been sacrificed to serve this more po-faced tale as the skyboxes are darkened by the thrum of war, but it's still a more vibrant world than many of its peers.


But if you're playing Halo for a well-told story you're frankly in the wrong place, and there's much more to enjoy here besides. Through the nine or so hours that it'll take to crack the campaign on Heroic (a number that won't be dented by playing with partners, as the difficulty now scales up in co-op) there's an amazing array of set-pieces, and if Bungie is perhaps a little too keen on aping the highlights of its last nine years it does at least seem determined to bring its experience to make them shine like never before.

The level design is Bungie's best, and while the blend of open battlefields and labyrinth interiors may be superficially familiar it's never been as well executed as Reach's set. If you've a favourite moment from Halos gone it's likely to be referenced here; Halo 2's low-g opening is riffed on to joyous effect, and inevitably there's a nod to The Silent Cartographer – though here it's done with a scale that's unprecedented in the series. It's this scale that brings some gravitas to the climactic moments and makes the final few hours with Reach's campaign such a thrill.

And what grander scale can there be than the stars themselves? Halo: Reach's single space-bound mission is well-worked, and it's to Bungie's credit that it not only avoids outstaying its welcome but also leaves you desperate for more. The stand-out vehicle however, is the Falcon, a streamlined take on Halo 3's Hornet that's the star of one of Reach's later levels. It's one of several highlights of a campaign that ultimately satisfies.

But it's the multiplayer that qualifies Reach as truly exceptional. The armor abilities lend old classics fresh life and help make Invasion, an all-new mode, the cream of the bustling crop. It's an objective based game wherein the objectives are dynamic, and where rifle and plasma skirmishes escalate into full-on battles between Scorpions and Wraiths over the course of a match. The addition of such a mode in a Halo game is long overdue, introducing the kind of co-operative class based play that's well-suited to Reach's new feature set. Headhunter is another stand-out, a take on Oddball that's skewed towards creating truly anarchic play as people explode in showers of skulls when killed which can then be reaped for reward.

Elsewhere the sheer number of multiplayer modes included in Reach that Halo has accumulated since its inception is generous to the point of being overwhelming, and the addition of matchmaking to Firefight helps add to an already swollen list of online options. Bungie has provided a smart guide through it all, though, with its weekly challenges doling out credits for in-game achievements and helping direct players through the myriad options. That the credits can be used on upgrades that are aesthetic only may come across as retrograde to refugees from other popular online shooters, but in truth Halo's multiplayer has always been an exercise in perfect balance and weapon unlocks would only threaten that.


It's also excused by the amount of tinkering that Bungie has granted players who want to dive under the hood. Forge returns more powerful than ever, and now feels like a dedicated level editor. It's matched by a wealth of options with which players can create their own game variants, though for both it's a shame that they're not met with proper publishing tools that would allow the results to be truly seeded out to the Halo community at large.

But that's the only fault in an otherwise exemplary multiplayer suite that's served by the same features that have helped the enduring success of Halo 3's online. They've all been given that little extra polish too, be that in the file sharing of videos and screenshots or the enhanced matchmaking tools.

welcome everyone!!

Hi there i just want to give you a little sneak peak of what's to come and by that i mean that , if everything goes right what i'll try to do:
  • Commented Gameplays
  • Unboxings & Reviews
  • Live Streams
  • Fresh news
And the games i'll try to comment are:
  • Black Ops
  • World of warcraft
  • Minecraft
  • Halo reach
I'll give fresh/updated news from every product that comes out and also products that haven't been released yet.

I'll do my best to fullfil my goal to make the stuff before mentioned but i can't be shure when i'm going to start, and if i'll be doing all the things i'm  thinking of.

See you soon
