Another spin off using the Halo 3 engine, This time you join a team of proto-Spartans investigating an incursion into an Earth colony by a hostile alien force. There are a few tweaks to the gameplay involving some new special abilities and weapons mainly it seems for the sake of the online experience. This is also true of the format which revolves around you teaming up with an AI controlled partner throughout, which is my main problem with it; it's essentially a "fake multiplayer" game of the type that has proliferated since and as such hasn't got the satisfying single player story or variety of Halo 3 or even ODST. As such it's my least favourite Halo game, but by any other standard it's a beautiful looking and hugely enjoyable FPS. |
