It's still Halo: CE, a great FPS with great multiplayer. But the new visuals are really lame.
The original version of Halo: Combat Evolved had a distinct feeling to it. The art style was all its own. Covenant interiors had that cold gray and purple color scheme that really tied everything together. It was clearly distinguishable from any other FPS of its generation, but this new updated look is about as generic as you can get. It's undoubtedly technically impressive for the 360 and I can't say it looks bad, but it lacks the soul and atmosphere of the original game.
Thank goodness they decided to let you swap visual styles with the press of a button.
It's still a great game, and the multiplayer still has my beloved pistol. But the campaign is marred by a few levels with WAY too much repetition of similar rooms, to the point that it feels like you're backtracking even when you're technically in a new area.
It still starts strong, it ends strong, and the introduction of the Flood is as unsettling as ever.
