Halo is an action-packed sci-fi shooter where the player joins a fururistic squad of space marines that must defend humanity from a vicious alien onslaught.
Critically acclaimed as the very finest shooting game yet released for Xbox, Halo is an incredible action game that packs a formidable challenge. The player takes control of a space marine and fights a highly intelligent alien force which is out to destroy humanity. Starting out on a spacecraft, players must first thwart an alien invasion of their ship, and then take the battle to the ground, where weapons such as a sniper rifle (complete with zoom feature), machine gun, pistol and even the alien's own weapons are used to thwart the aggressors.
Combining a great storyline with intense, visually-exciting shooting action, two-player collaborative modes, vehicles to drive and some superb surprises and story twists, Halo provides the very finest shoot 'em up action available on Xbox. Note that due to the very intense and realistic action, this game is rated Mature and is suitable for players aged 17 and over.
