what's up internet kevin here with TLD bring guys just a short little review of halo combat evolved anniversary for the xbox 360 now it's a little weird doing a review for a game like this because most people that are buying it know exactly what they're getting and i mean exactly the game is basically a combination of two older halo games put together the campaign itself is an HD remake of the original halo combat evolved for the original xbox and that is exactly what it is there has been no changes to core gameplay at all it is the same experience as far as how weapons work how vehicles feel and move it's the same experience but with shinier graphics and better sound now the game isn't completely the same there have been a few changes that cedex wise first off if you're playing in the new HD graphics you will be able to find special terminals which when activated will unlock special videos that give more backstory into the history of the Halo universe now what are the interesting little things about the way they worked this is that players are able to switch freely between the HD graphics and classic graphics just by hitting the back button basically when you hit it the screen will fade to black then fade back in with the new or old or graphics this can only be done during gameplay you can't switch during cutscenes which bothered me a little bit but I'm willing to deal with it it's still fun and a little interesting way to see how much things have changed now as far as multiplayer goes it's really more or less a map pack for halo reach basically the game uses the halo reach engine not just in a sense of using the base core dynamic but it is halo reach to the extent of which the game actually comes with a dlc code to add the anniversary maps to your halo reach game that way you have access to all of them with just one game it consists of six competitive multiplayer maps and one firefight map all of which are taken from the first and second Halo games it's sort of a best of or top favorites from those older titles now for those who that wanted to play multiplayer in the original halo style they did add a special anniversary mode which has weapons and abilities works similar to they did in the old game it's still changed and works more like reach but you will have access to weapons that are more balanced like they were back in the original game for instance the ridiculous pistol with scope which pretty much everyone uses in anniversary mode so like I said there isn't a whole lot of change other than shinier graphics and a few little easter eggs to find for those of our fans of the series what's great about this game though is that it is only forty dollars it's not a fully priced game so for those of you that are big time fans of the Halo series and want to be able to play the original game in better graphics and also have your favorite maps in halo reach it's well worth buying and pose you that started late in the series never got a chance to play the original game it's definitely worth checking out just you can experience that first title and really get the full scope of the storyline so it's a little cool game worth picking up for 40 bucks I personally wish there was a few little more changes to the original game for instance the Warthog still controls really awkwardly using the old school controls they could have used a little bit of patching or fixing just to make the campaign a little bit of a smoother experience but overall it's still great to be able to enjoy that old-school game feeling with that original title it's like I said this is a short little review to give you guys an idea of what's going on in halo anniversary if it was you that haven't read into it much or just didn't know what you're getting if you want to think of maybe buying it as always guys thanks for watching if you haven't got a chance yet make sure to check out our lays to vids and if you want to be extra also make sure to hit that like button and I'll see you guys next time you
