"Halo = rubbish."

I had the misforune to play halo yeaterday i have to say that is without a doubt the worse FPS i've ever ever played.

Though the graphics are good the controlls were fiddly, the eneimies could gun you down before you got near them. Your guns was poo.

I played for a good 10 mins to expeierenced the game and within ten minutes, i know whether a game is any good for not for me. This isn't.

*Me feel an arguement coming on*

The only X-Box game that appeals to me is wreckless, and it's hardly worth buying a £300 machine for one game.

Come on Sony, release Destruction Derby again!!!!

I've got Halo and I think it rocks.

Ok, it doesn't add anything amazingly new to the genre, but it takes all the best bits of exsiting games and puts them all together in one spot on game.

What you on about, it's bloody brilliant! Players are realistic and are equipped with class moves.

Easy? Well, it's harder than the one for the PS2.

Some people...

I thought Halo was okay, but saying it's the worst FPS ever is sort of misleading, considering the likes of Daikatana and other mediocre FPS games.

DOA3 is absolute tripe! i played it and it was far too easy, you can win by pressing tha same button for godness sake! the only reason its selling is due to seductive advertising, nothing more, nothing less.

I had the misfortune of playing Halo for a good 3/4 hours last week... And, personally, I wasn't that impressed.

Graphically, it's nice, very nice and you can see the box really pumping out here, mostly to prvent pop-up and slowdown, but thats where the "good stuff" ends...

Control wise...mmmm, a bit like Q3 on the PS2. Didn't get time to see if there was an option to change you control settings, but I assume you can and in doing so, this would probably improve your gaming experience, but as it is, the controls are totally pants!! It didn't help that the controller was so huge!! and badly designed...

2 player is nice, but that damn irritating teleport is annoying after about 10 minutes of playing, it gets worse in 4 player!!... then you have 8 player... whilst toally amazing to begin with, you do get seriously pi**ed with suddenly being teleported out of a serious fire fight!!

There isn't much new in here for a FPS, most of it has been done before in other titles such as TS, Q3, UT and GoldenEye.

I was dissapointed, this was meant to be the "Top" game for the XBOX, I fail to see why?

I'd like to try in on a network, but apart from that, I probably won't return to it for a while... Back to TimeSplitters for me!!

The thing is, it's not designed to be instantly playable like a Football game say. Certainly not in a busy store because the atmosphere isn't right. Especially not with a que of forming behind you, and a 9 year old holding the second pad, pretending he's controlling the enemies coming at you.

I thought Metal Gear Solid 2 was rubbish.
I read the box and I knew it would be crap.

And the controls are stupid and the whole thing smells like tv

i must admit i wasn't overly impressed at first. But you can't just give a game ten minutes. Once you get used to the controls you will find that it is pretty enjoyable. It doesn't have the same classic feel of goldeneye or the likes but is still a very good game and I think it is uniformed and unfair of you to criticise it of the back of ten minutes on a console that you are unfamiliar with
