there are alot of games on Nintendo that aren't great, but sell alot. The difference is are they FUN??? Halo is definitely fun, maybe not a great game, but a hell of a fun game. |
There you go. That sums it up really. Halo is no 10/10 game I dont care what you say. Its not graphically, its not through gameplay, its not 10/10 in any category. But its hella fun. Its the first shooter since Goldeneye that you can play and admit playing without being seen as a huge nerd. Its the Madden of shooters, and is the most popular console shooter of all time (I think?)
Its popularity is what makes it good, not its gameplay. Halo released on the PS2 would have done little over 1,000,000 IMO. But being the single reason many people bought an Xbox, it saw huge popularity. Halo 2 built off publicity, Halo being popular, and marketing to become what it was. Same goes for Halo 3.
