If you are looking for an incredible story or a deep experience look elsewhere. If you are looking for the best gameplay in a FPS where the core shooting mechanics are unmatched, then you'll enjoy Destiny. Game lacks overall in content and running the same content over and over is really what it's about, but the core gameplay is unmatched.

Incredible graphics and a good throwback to older Halo games with the campaign. Lack of Forge mode out of the box is a disappointment, but not a bigger disappointment than lack of split-screen local play. Forge mode will come, but no split-screen and that really limits a lot of what I played liked about the franchise in previous installments. Still as a single player experience it's very good.
