Halo (Mac) review:5 stars (Another Game to Remain in Your Collection Forever) - If you like FPS games (first person shooter), then you have probably heard about Halo. My Friends have the advantage of having an Xbox right (because of Halo)? Well as far as I knew Halo was only on Xbox and PC. It made me mad because after playing Halo multiplayer it was a blast and I couldn't even imagine how good the single player game would be. All I have is a Playstation 2 and a Mac. I thought to myself that Bungie (the creators of the game) would come out with a Mac version because their very first games like Marathon and Pathways were only for the Mac! And they were a great mac company. And what do you know, Halo comes out on Mac. I WAS SO HAPPY. I decided before I bought the game I might want a game pad similar to the Xbox controller because that is what i'm used to playing against my friends. So I look around on the net and I found the absolute perfect thing, an Xbox controller USB adapter that plugs in the USB port of your Mac or PC. So I can play Halo on my Mac with the Xbox controller set to the xbox controls!!!!!!!! Just like having an
xbox with Halo. (...) I could not find it anywhere else!!! It's another great buying site like amazon.com but is shipped from Hong Kong. Also if you want a free demo of Halo (which is awesome) go to macgamefiles.com. The demo offers the single player level "The Silent Cartographer" and online multiplayer with the map Bloodgultch!!! TRUST ME THE ONLINE MULTIPLAYER WILL CAPTIVATE YOU FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS. There is also an additional feature for the computer versions of Halo and that my violent friend is the flamethrower! YA THAT'S RIGHT!
Well I really hoped I have helped you make a decision on this game. Give that demo a try also and trust me on the Xbox controller idea.

Lata killas....5 stars (DONT LISTEN TO JAY WILIAM HE DOSNT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT) - I have had halo ever since it came out on the xbox. Halo is awsome. You never get tired of it. Escpeacially multiplayer. Jay Wiliam exagerated everything and if you want a challenge play on the Legendary difficulty.5 stars (Dont worry about low-end systems) - A lot of the reviews I read before buying this games said that you need the best computer to run it. This is not true. I have an eMac G4 1Ghz, ATI Radeon 9200 32Mb Video Card and a 17" screen. This game runs fine even at medium graphics settings. Although there are some choppy glitchy parts, I noticed this also occured on some of my other friends' higher-end computers on the same settings. I would recommend getting it for Xbox although it is better to be played with a mouse and keyboard rather than a game controller.

On another note, those parents who keep track of what their kids are playing, do not let the M rating of this game prevent you from letting your kids play it. Rent it for Xbox or buy it used and then sell it back if it doesn't suit your standards. I would compare this game to many T games that I have played, such as Golden Eye: Rogue Agent, Metroid Prime, the 007 James Bond games, Mercenaries, and Star Wars: Battlefront. Most of the explicit content of the game can be disabled or won't even be noticeable during gameplay. The main thing that I have noticed to be a problem is the blood on the ground. Just a tip: You can turn this off in the Options Menu by locating the choice called Decals and disabling it. Other than that, there isn't really any other content that should require an M rating.

Let me add one more thing. If by chance some paranoid parent thinks that their kid might enable anything that they have disabled, trust me. Unless your kid just lives to annoy you and make you mad, they wont because they will be so thankful to you for getting this game for them, they won't do anything that might have a chance of taking it away.

REMEMBER!!!!!! Runs fine on a G4 1 Ghz Mac with a ATI Radeon 9200 Video Card....(The video card is standard for any eMac or iMac G4 or G5

Play it long, Play it hard!!!!!
