The Bottom Line:

"Just plain fun"

Well let me start by saying this game looks outstanding, the graphics are lush and detailed, and set the tone for what type of game you are going to be playing. The controls feel great, the navigation is also really good too I hate when games just say go find out where you have to go, but on Halo they give you an objective pointer and it helps you out quite a bit and so many games would be so much better if they could do something simple like making it easy to navigate. The music is great another part of the game that details the background of it so well.

So first I want to start with the story, I won't pretend like I know a whole bunch of things about Halo and I won't act like I do, however I will talk about my experience with the story, Master Chief has been asleep hoping that Infinity will end up finding him. Well Cortona ends up waking him up because they end up getting attacked by covenant forces, basically from what I understand is that the covenant teams up with a new race to be seen in the Halo universe called the Prometheans, not only that but one huge part of the story is that Cortona is starting to lose functionability, and this is really feels like the main plot which is kind of lame but whatever. (Spoiler Alert) In the end Master Chief will end up losing Cortona and they did an excellent job on the ending the music feels sad and the dialogue for this part was really good, and that's one thing I noticed in the story, The voice acting was outstanding, but it sometimes felt silly because of the dialogue, but overall the story is pretty enjoyable.

The gameplay is simple shoot people, shoot more people, and shoot more people and that's fine it's Halo what would you expect, there is really not much to say here, the controls feel comfortable, there are lots of guns to choose from, there are special types of abilities you can use in this one and some can be really useful. The overall campaign is about 10 hours, and sure that might be a little disappointing but I'm glad they didn't make it too long cause it can feel a little bit repetitive at times.

Overall Halo 4 is a fun game sure it's not the best game I have ever played but it kept me entertained through most of the campaign, The story was good but it just felt a little bit weird at sometimes, like sometimes during the gameplay Cortona would be going crazy, and then once you would get to an objective and it would show a part of the story she would be completely fine and this really made it kind of weird for me, but the story was still pretty good. The gameplay was simple and that's Halo 4 shined (for the most part) in the gameplay the environments looked great and it was just fun I really enjoyed it. If you're looking for a good FPS then this is the game to get.
