The game, which depicts the violent battle between humanity and aliens, is the latest in a franchise that began with Halo: Combat Evolved on the Xbox. It's already a big hit with reviewers.

"An epic story, incredible pacing, and a spot-on mix of old and new elements make Reach's campaign Halo's best yet," Matt Cabral wrote on GamePro.
