Halo Reach: Is Reach the Grand Finale
 While all good things must eventually
come to an
end, fans of Halo games hope that this really isn't the end of the
road. Halo Reach, the latest addition to the collection shows
clear evidence of it indeed being a finale, making reference to past
games while refining the mechanics and adding new twists.
While Halo Reach does
wink at its predecessors, the game is still a
gigantic step forward. Sprinkles of successful elements from
the earlier games are found while a new design level rises from the
core. The action in the game is never at a stand still,
moving from one scenario to another with an abundance of
twists.
The best new addition in Reach that the other Halo games did not have
is the armor abilities. These reusable but temporary extra
abilities add jet packs, invincible armor and sprinting which results
in a much more acrobatic game. Don't think these extras make
it any easier on you though. This game is easily one of the
most challenging in the franchise. Oh, and the soundtrack is
simply epic. It literally elevates your gaming experience.
The sense of scale in Halo Reach
is unparalleled as you feast your eyes
on a striking color palette. The war you fight ranges across
the planet, not just in theory but visuals as well.
Everything you do in the game earns you credits and if you accumulate
enough, you can really make your Noble 6 quite unique by unlocking
customization features. This new and improved personalized
look carries on through every scene, interestingly, even the cut
scenes. It is also quite appreciated by some to be able to
hop out of the game and edit which rules you want as well.
You can control how destructive weapons are and who you face in
Firefight.
Xbox live members have the opportunity to enter in daily and weekly
challenges to compel you to keep coming back to prove your
skills. The first Halo was a humble, small game featuring
indelible, strong characters.

Halo Reach is a must play for anyone who thrives
on multiplayer
action. Also, the game's outstanding matchmaking abilities
are so intuitive it's almost scary. Rarely are you dropped
into a battle you can't handle. Combat holds true to its
organic feel. You will switch from your pistol to assault
rifle, lob grenades and hijack a few vehicles in your spare time.
Whether you like to play Halo games with your friends or all alone,
Halo Reach is really a fantastic package to act as a finale to one of
the best multilayer games in history. -
