I loved this game on the Xbox and it's one of the titles I'll still bust out from time to time, particularly for its split-screen multiplayer appeal. But when evaluated against the standards of the current PC shooter catalog, Halo seems to fall short in just a few key areas: repetitive levels, steep performance requirements and a lingering console balance.
Given the fact that so little has changed in the game's transition to the PC, I certainly won't recommend it to the considerably large group of players who are already satisfied with the Xbox version. Sure, you get a few new things in the area of multiplayer but the rest of the game is exactly as it was two years ago. If you've played the game on the Xbox, there's not much for you here. But if you're in the 2 to 3GHz range and have a good 3D accelerator, then the PC version will definitely reward your investment, both in time and in the money you spent to get a powerful computer
BTW: GA doesn't have a Halo section......
