Battle the Covenant in this thrilling FPS
Halo: Combat Evolved, also known as Halo 1, is a very successful first-person shooter (FPS) for Microsoft's Xbox. This Mac port is a faithful adaptation of Halo: Combat Evolved to the Mac OS platform. As Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, one of the remaining super-soldiers of the Spartan II project, you take on the Covenant alien race in a holy war that might determine whether or not the human race survives.
The controls in Halo: Combat Evolved are as good as any FPS, and you'll immediately feel at ease blasting away alien intruders, launching grenades, and strafing behind pillars and walls. As you proceed through the game, you are joined by other Spartan II super soldiers who help you annihilate the aliens.
One of the great features of Halo: Combat Evolved is the number of vehicles and weapons at your disposal, like the Warthog or Banshee. The artificial intelligence (AI) in Halo: Combat Evolved is well-developed, and the three levels of difficulty should keep you well-occupied.
Although it's certainly aged a little (check the graphics), Halo: Combat Evolved is still great fun and an excellent FPS.
