Halo: The Master Chief Collection Critic Reviews

This is the definitive first-person shooter experience, a no-brainer purchase for the vast majority of gamers, and the first true system-seller of the new console generation.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a love letter to the fans, and it delivers four great games in one brilliant package. The games are not only more beautiful than ever, but also far more accessible to play in whichever way you want.

There's more love and care lavished on The Master Chief Collection than you see in countless other big-money, brand new blockbuster releases. The fact that the games themselves are fantastic fun online and off is the cherry on the icing.

While not everything about the Anniversary versions is better, the overall look of Halo 1 and 2 has never been more impressive. It feels like you can finally see the worlds you were meant to see then, but that technology couldn’t properly display.

Halo the Master Chief Collection is the definitive version of this amazing series that plays and looks amazingly on the XBox One.

A great pack of four games full of content: over hundred multiplayer maps, great variety of modes, four epic and intense co-op campaigns and smoother visuals for the remake of Halo 2. It's a must have for any Xbox One owner.

Sets a bar that other remasters and collections will have difficulty reaching, much less topping. For players new to Halo, who have missed any of the included games, it is a stunning introduction to one of the most beloved series in video games. For Halo fans, it's a package that shows almost as much respect and affection for the Master Chief as they do.

As the definitive version of the core Halo experience, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is one of the few games that should be in any Xbox One owner's collection.

In terms of pure content, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is simply massive. In terms of the content itself, this package is astounding. Four of the best shooter campaigns ever made, in one box, all running at 1080p at 60fps, Halo has never looked so good. Throw in over 100 multiplayer maps and a bevy of Halo themed extras and you have a recipe for a true system seller.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection has stolen my gaming heart.

If you own an Xbox One this game is a must own. If not, it might be time to buy one.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a whole saga immediately within our grasp. Four big campaigns, many memorable multiplayer maps, Martin O'Donnell's perfect scores, multimedia contents, new services and an open windows on the future of Halo.

The total package of Halo: The Master Chief Collection is massive and intimidating, but none of it is crammed in or hastily included. Even the modes that appeal to a small dedicated group of Halo fans have received attention.

It's a grand celebration and a potent reminder why the green Spartan rose to a level of prominence that few can match. Many HD collections or remasters are often pleasant trips down memory lane, but this feels like more than that. It's a gripping reintroduction into all things Halo and something that will likely be enjoyed for years to come.

This game pack is awesome. It not only breathes quality, it really shows the love that 343 Industries has for the Halo series. Both single-player and multiplayer within this game are solid, smooth and complete.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection really sets the standard for all future re-release game collections.

It's one of the best remakes/remastered editions we've seen so far, even though it's a shame Microsoft hadn't take this opportunity to make up for the voice acting issues Spanish fans had. There's no doubt it's the best chance to play the series, no matter if it's for the first time or once again.

This is the new gold standard for remakes. Well done, 343 Industries.

If you have never played Master Chief's adventures before or you just want to enjoy its games again, this Halo anthology is a must-have for every Xbox One user.

There is an incredible amount of content across all four games, and having that much stuff means you can basically play it in any way you like. Further, every single aspect of the game is unlocked at launch, every map, every level, every upgrade.
