All reviews are in the OP, so check if I missed any.


Can you order them in terms of highest to lowest?

Certainly.


Almost perfect, besides that 9.6 one! :P

93 is a solid Meta. Should hold at least 91 or 92 to the end though, and perhaps even 93 or 94, depending on the 8s and 9s. Anyone read any of the sub 9 reviews?


Giant Bomb's complaint is that the campaign is too similar to other Halo games. I think that's the only complaint I remember in the whole review.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Yet they dropped a whole point, stupid review.

Oddly enough, that's what keeps people coming back to this series. You'd think that'd be a plus.


Well, there are a couple of headscratchers in other review I've read so far to be fair. The IGN review tries to say the number of maps for multiplayer is lacking by comparing it to the Halo 3 maps plus its 12 DLC maps, which is a baffling comparison to make imo. Gametrailers was complaining about the beam rifle and plasma grenade launcher being too strong, but from what I can remember from the beta, killing people with those two weapons isn't exactly a walk in the park.

It's hard to imagine anybody on the fence who hasn't played a Halo game, though I do wonder what the thoughts of people who've never played it before are about these reviews.

Seems Metacritic subtracted two of the earlier scores and the average is back to 95 with 10 reviews.

Edit: false alarm. Something weird is going on there. One minute: 95 with 10 reviews, the next - 93 with 12. Conspiracy?


lol it was actually 90 something with'1' review a bit earlier as well...Meta is going a bit coo coo for now

I really don't know what some of you were expecting. It will finish above 90's which is great and no it won't be the greatest fps game ever.

In your opinion, IMO if reach has a better story than Halo 1, and a better multiplayer than Halo 2 then it will be the best fps ever.

If that's the case, one of the best yes.
