First I'll start out saying that this is in fact a really enjoyable game.

I got this game a couple weeks after the release due to the fact that I couldn't manage to get my hands on it. But i had heard things from my friends. I had some friends claiming it was "epic" and "greatest game ever". But I also heard bad things as well.

Well, because of this, I went into this game with a kind of feeling of not sure what i was going to get out of this game. Now i did enjoy Vice City and San Andreas, so i figured i would enjoy this game.

Well that is what i got from this game. I played the story and online as well. So I'll start with the story line.

Well I absolutely loved the plot to the game. It was entertaining enough to be considered a movie or TV show. I really got a sense of connection with the characters. But when it came to the core gameplay of the story mode I found myself feeling a little empty Many missions seemed a little repetitive and there we're few missions that really stood out. It seemed like I'd seen them already. And that's because i pretty much had. Much of the game's missions were pretty much recycled from the old games. But i figured the multiplayer would make up for it.

Well the multiplayer is somewhat fun but it wasn't as fun as i hoped it would be. I was hoping for something different but it didn't have as much to offer as i thought it would. Although Halo doesn't have much variety after a while, I still find it more entertaining due to the fact the it's more of a game you just hang out on with your friends. It didn't take long before all of my friends were back playing Halo 3 or COD 4 as well.

In short I found the game entertaining for a few good weeks but after a while it gets to be the same. I still occasionally pop it in for some fun. It is a fun game, but now most of my friends are seeing it as a waste of money and are trading it in for other games. But for me I still do enjoy it and would recommend it. But it's more of a rent for me and not a buy.
