Critic Reviews for Halo: Campaign Evolved

Halo: Campaign Evolved speaks to the series' timelessness and adds a decent set of new missions, but it's a mostly a lean retread that's more of a test run for its future with Unreal Engine.

While there’s a handful of shortcomings, Master Chief's opening chapter has never looked or felt this good, and with any luck, marks the beginning of a new journey where ambitious narratives and evolutionary gameplay mechanics won't be left behind.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a serviceable remake of the Xbox classic, even if it wasn't really called for. Not settling for a simple coat of paint, this game takes all the best parts of other Halo games and blends them with revamped graphics to reshape Combat Evolved into a game modern audiences will enjoy. I just wish some of the more frivolous changes had been left out. $49.94 at Walmart $102.58 at Amazon Check Best Buy
