Characters, enemies and environments are rendered in amazing detail by an all-new engine designed to deliver epic-scale encounters against the cunning and ruthless Covenant.

Buy Halo Reach on XBOX360
A very good game.
dissapointing... but still worth a play
Good Game, decent campaign length.
another brilliant halo game, if you like the others youll certainly like this one
The best shoot em up I have played on xbox 360. The graphics are stunning. Never played a game that looked so good and played so well.
brilliant
Enjoyed the single player, great campaign. The only annoying thing about multiplayer is that you can't quit to the menu once you start voting. The only way is to quit to the dashboard.
Simply Brilliant is all that needs to be said
Great Game, the campaigns not really long or hard enough and it lacks the big bosses you'd hope for. Online play is great and can last you ages if you wanted to play the game to unlock all armor and complete daily and weekly challenges. Probably would have kept it longer if other big games were not coming out soon.
Probably the best halo game so far for both story and multiplayer cant fault the game one bit
