So great I can't even keep my wife from playing it non-stop. Very satisfying campaign. Poignant touches make you really care about Noble team. The graphics engine could have been slightly more overhauled, but everything looks appropriately pretty on the HDTV.
Haven't had a chance to take this baby into multiplayer yet, but we have been enjoying the firefight option. I'm sure as soon as we get our wireless internet situation resolved, it's just going to add another layer of awesome to our Halo experience.
What's great about it: It finishes the Halo story.
That's pretty much all that can be said about this. It's OK. A little bit above average and certainly not his worst work to date. But, it's not an instant classic and it could be more enjoyed by absolute zombie lovers and Romero-philes out there. I liked it. The wife liked it. But then again, we watch pretty much anything that has zombies in it.
