This game is freaking sweet, I was running down this hallway and this dinosaur thing was all like "Wot, wot, wot," so I shot him in his sexy face, then I was in a desert with Apollo Creed sniping bad guys and he was like "Lay down some cover fire, Super Chief," but I didn't know what 'cover fire' meant so I reloaded the checkpoint and just hoped he wouldn't ask again.
This game lets you drive cars but only in the game, sometimes you can be driving along when some Australian guys hop in and say something like "Let's get going, Massive Cheek," naturally I assumed they were criminals so I calmly asked, "Where to gentlemen?" before driving my car full speed towards a cliff and jumping out just in time, "Not today you kangaroo fu****s."
The graphics in this game are pretty good but there is alot of texture pop in, I was under the impression that the game was going to use the Halo: Reach engine but instead it looks like it was developed by guys who had only seen Halo: Reach from 200 yards away. You can also play the game with the old graphics engine if you want to see how stupid and easily impressed you were in 2001.
The guns in this game are as sweet as they are many (There are 8) and shooting bad guys in the body always feels great. There is no recoil from any of the guns either so you always hit your target just like in real life. Sometimes you have to reload the guns.
One time I was playing the game when my friend Dwane walked in and he was all like "Yo dawg, let's hit up the co-op mode," and I was like "I've only got one controller," and he was like "Ok, I'll go home and get mine." When Dwane got back we started a split-screen game and had a blast, Dwane was like "Dude, Halo is the best co-op game ever," and I was like "Dwane, we stopped playing 6 hours ago, go home."
The music in this game is stunning, it's like a mixture of funk, tribal and classical music all rolled into one, no other game series utilizes music as well as the Halo games, Bungie really understands that when used correctly, music can take the action to a whole new level.
You can use a Kinect with this game but I don't have a Kinect because I'm not braindead.
Overall, Halo Anniversary is a great update of a tremendous game, but games have moved on quite a bit since 2001 and some elements of Halo's once legendary campaign now feel a little dated, however, Halo's core mechanics are so tight and well constructed that the game becomes an almost transcendent experience, and very few games, new or old, can claim to that.

''The medium of video games is the most susceptible to the test of time. As technology progresses, older games are overshadowed by the graphical improvements and design niceties of future releases. Sometimes, they are left behind by outdated hardware or operating systems and need emulators or fan-made mods to function properly. Other times, they aren’t available for sale at all except for sketchy used sales on Ebay and the like. Whereas older films often hold up despite some dated effects and lower resolution cameras, older games are often overlooked by modern audiences.''
I tryed to play 2 of then and was stunned how bad they made the remakes, Silent Hill 2 and Gears of War 1.
Batman Return to Arkham
Assassins Creed 3
Injustice 1
Final Fantasy 10
Bayonetta 1

Uncharted remaster on ps4. It managed to make drake look weird and most of all it was missing SOME OF THE BEST MULTIPLAYERS OF ALL TIME !!!
