| Stats87 said: Halo Reach could score 20/10 from every reviewer and I probably still wouldn't go out of my way to play it. Halo, and most FPS's in general, just don't do it for me anymore. I remember spending many a night in High School playing Halo 2 online wih friends, as well as Timesplitters offline with that great MP. With Halo 3 I stopped playing it after I beat the campaign. (played the Online MP for a few days) The only FPS's in the last couple years that I invested a lot of time in are Fallout 3 and Borderlands, which had more to do with the RPG/Open world aspect, as well as L4D/L4D2 for the crazy zombie fun. But those FPS's aren't like your other standard FPS's. For games like Killzone 2/Resistance 2 I only played the campaign and I haven't even played MW2 yet. But I would say I'm especially tired of the Halo series. Although, I have spent a good deal of time playing the Perfect Dark HD re-release...that multiplayer is still so darn good. |
I totally hear ya. FPS genre has been beaten into us for years now and not many of them seem to catch that magic feeling we first got back in Goldeneye/Halo/Perfect Dark days. After Halo: CE, Halo 2 and Halo 3 felt lacking in a few ways, so my anticipation for Reach wasn't to expect anything better than the original...
Then I tried the Beta. Wow...
Let me tell you that this game recaptures the spirit and feel of the first game, it feels like the true Halo 2, and I am so glad they removed dual-weilding weapons that Halo2 and 3 had... the armor abilities also add a touch of new flavour to an already tasty treat. It feels like real natural progression.
Give this game a shot, you'll be pleasently surprised just how much they've upped the ante.
EDIT: And the second review seems fake or written by someone with poor grammar skills.
