I got this game a little more than a week ago for my new XBox.

Halo is AMAZING!!!

Graphics are awesome! Tons of detail - The trees have individual polygons for each branch. Shoot a branch and leaves will fall. In level 4, you can hear cicadas(Those loud flying insects in summer). It's got one of the most realistic FPS physics engines ever - Shoot for long distances and the bullet's altitude decays! When people talk in the game, their mouth's move. The people meshes have individual fingers and joints on their hands(Unlike block-handed people on other games). On some levels you can even see individual blades of grass. The explosions and fires are realistic... Oh and did I say that the rumbler in the controller pack GREATLY enhances the feeling? WOW. There are few dissadvantages - 1) No simulants and such(Ever played Perfect Dark?) - 2) Although it's an AMAZING game with GREAT graphics, I think that Bungie was rushed and therefore couldn't include the detail they wanted.

If you get one game for XBox, make it Halo!

I can't wait for Halo 2!

SPOILER: (Last video - Cortana says "We did what we had to do. The flood, our crew, a whole Covenant armada. It's finished". Master Chief replies "It's just getting started" - Credits roll. After credits, It shows stars all around and the monitor (343 Guilty Spark) flies by - There is a sequel coming)
