Halo does suffer from repetitive gameplay, a lack of full exploitation of the ideas and gameplay introduced at the beginning of the game and a disappointing multiplayer mode. But all in all, it is a worthy release for gamer's willing to bet on Microsoft next-generation console.

Most of it is done really well, but there simply aren't enough great moments to offset the repetitive gameplay seen throughout much of the game.
