I could probably play the first two levels blindfolded. It is safe to say a really like this game. They even did the Dark Souls thing where they make a level everybody hates but there’s a reason for it, like it is bad and hard and kind of a chore for a purpose (and they will do it again!).

The first five levels are truly phenomenal, but the second half of the game shows that Bungie was running out of money, time or ideas, even when they introduce a new type of enemy. This is an evolution of the genre, at least on consoles, and should be recognized as important and historically relevant. The original Xbox version is lacking content, unless you had like 3 other Xboxes and 15 spare controllers or whatever, and an absurd amount of friends.
