I hadn't played a Halo game all the way through since the release of the original one. (Gee, that was a long time ago.) I always found that I'd get a bit motion sick playing the subsequent installments, but this time 'round I stuck with it and I'm glad I did.
The game is visually stunning with a fantastic soundtrack. It was very easy to get immersed in the "experience" and I have to admit to being consumed with progressing through the chapters for a couple of weeks there. I found the controls easy to understand (but not always easy to operate - I just wasn't always quick enough to hit the right button). Underpinning the whole thing was an excellent story line. The cut-scenes were meshed into the game play seamlessly. This aspect was so enjoyable, I'd have been happy to just watch someone else play and enjoy the story unfold. It's no wonder that video gaming is over taking motion pictures and television in the art of story telling.
