IGN review of the game gave it 9.8/10 o.O
IGN review is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNoSEj1k9V0
the game is more focused on Cortana, what with her Rampancy and whatnot. 3 new vehicles, the Mantis, the UNSC fighter Broadsword, and the covenant 30-40 man transport, the Lich. not to mention you finally get to fly a Pelican!

Not sure why you lost the excitement about it. The game looks awesome. My only problem is that due to the timing of the release, this is much more likely as a Christmas present from my wife than a release-day must-have!

[doomboy]

Hehe, yeah. I believe it's on the US Election Day?

[doomboy]

Well, the game is out. I gotta wait for a super slow delivery
So, while I wait for a whole week :/ tell me your first impressions of the game.

[doomboy]

Awesome.

Me and my buddy just completed this game on Legendary via Co-Op in 2 nights. The story is great, really awesome. The "main bad guy" is a joke really :\ Reminds me of all the Resident Evil main villains and the final fights....

Most of the game is really easy, even on Legendary. Alot of the game is "get to X objective" while most objectives are "push this button". More often than not, you can make a suicide run towards said objective, even with 10 enemies shooting at you, and still make it and further the level with ease.

Grunts are still a one-shot kill most the time. Elites take 2 sniper bullets to the head to bring down. Jackals are a cinch. It's the friggin' Knights you need to worry about. Those things suck. Suck balls. Suck big balls.

Anyway, use the Auto Sentry over ALL other Armor enhancement thingys (Hologram, shield, Vision, etc etc.) It's beast.

Overall it's a fun game, I've played on Multiplayer a few times. Story is good. I was just disappointed with how easy the game was on Legendary, how short it is (only 8 levels), and how the main bad-guy is beaten.

I'd give this game an 8/10. For what it's worth, if you didn't catch it yet, all I said above is based upon Legendary difficulty. I haven't played any other difficulty.

i also ran through it with a friend, but on normal
yeah, the knights are REALLY tough.
