Reviews of Halo Triple Pack - Xbox

Customer Ratings:

We are fairly new to the Xbox 360 and my son wanted to start back with the original Halo and Halo 2 before moving on to the later games. The Halo Triple Pack was a good way to get both of these excellent games and the Map Pack for less than buying them separately (mine was from a non-Amazon seller for almost half the regular price, look for deals).

The games run perfectly on my Xbox 360 and it is easy to see why the Halo series is so popular.

Highly Recommended!

Most of the rest of us are all Halo'd out, but if you are new to xbox or the 360, this is the best set you can buy. The games will play at 720p/1080i in widescreen (if you have an HDTV) on the 360 and you will have months if not years (not days) of multiplayer longevity to these titles.

Note the multiplayer maps disc sold separately for Halo2 (if you originally bought Halo2 long ago) is a rip-off.

I bought this for my husband and sons to play. I am a Halo Reach fan but this trilogy is more than I had expected. I was very happy that it plays very well on my Xbox 360 with no issues at all. It is a fun game and we've gotten hours and hours worth of playtime from this pack. If you're looking to complete your Halo collection, as we were, you will be exceptionally pleased with this purchase!

Honest reviews on Halo Triple Pack - Xbox

I rarely write reviews to personally address other reviews of a product, as you would notice if you were to read a few of them. However, I feel the whiny personal complaints and nitpicking here warrant a counterattack. First off, maybe Halo CE is better than Halo 2 if you like unbalanced weapons and running through the same levels a second time backwards. But personally I prefer more variety and depth in my games.

That's not to say that Halo CE isn't a great game. At the end of this review, where I actually make my recommendations, you will see that I in fact have lots of praise for it. However, many people cling to sentimentality and familiarity. Maybe Halo CE's campaign was revolutionary in some ways, but Halo 2's is clearly an improvement. I refuse to be blinded by my bias towards whatever came first; Halo 2 enriches the Halo universe and it's storyline significantly. Halo CE by comparison is a relatively simple and typical FPS storyline: "shoot to survive." As far as the Arbiter, I'm sorry if you prefer to draw nice easy to read lines between good and evil, but I personally am intrigued by the idea of playing from and learning about both sides. Also, at least the Arbiter has some attitude I can only take so much of the Master Chief's cheesey one-liners.

And in the end, all I can suggest is that you stuff your big opinions and just enjoy two games that are both incredibly well made (I can't think of any better reason to buy an xbox than these two games, with the possible exception of Morrowind.) This pack is a great opportunity for people that didnt catch all these games the first time around. In addition to Halo CE and Halo 2, it comes packaged with the Multiplayer Map Pack. I have written an extensive review of this product on its own but rest assured it was almost all positive. So it is certainly no reason NOT to buy this product if you dont already own these three items.

I was baffled when i saw this Halo Triple Pack on sale on Amazon. I thought i would not be able to find one in good condition but i was wrong. All disks were in great shape and when i mean great shape i'm not talking a couple scratches. There were absolutely no scratches on any of the disks. Received the item a lot sooner than expected as well.
