There was little enemy variety as well, mostly just some elites and a pack of grunts all the time usually carrying the same weapons. I suppose the hype helped kill it for me as well.
I agree with you here, though I started on Halo 2, and yes, for all of the hype, Halo 1 and 2 are not that great.

Beyond Good and Evil

When Ron Gilbert, creator of Monkey Island (he's actually renowned of being very critical of games in general) said this game kept him interested through-out, I knew I needed to buy this soon. I got it for the great price of 15$ secondhand. Here I was, all ready for a great story and gameplay (didn't really care about graphics, I was waiting for a good game, not a good-looking game) and I sat down, played a bit, and, though somewhat pleased with the game, I was expecting something far better in terms of story and gameplay.
