But it could have been so much more than that, and with a raft of changes that water down the original experience, Halo Campaign Evolved misses the mark both in ambition and execution. #Review #halocampaignevolved #Xbox -- Visit our website https://www.thisweekinvideogames.com for ad-free, ai-free, clickbait-free games coverage.

No recommendation in the title 🍿
No other channel makes “Review”such an ominous feeling.
13:10 Sgt. Johnson is adressing the *SHAREHOLDERS*
"Halo's A Team"... Halo hasn't had an A team in over a decade
"Nitpicks" are what separate excellence from a minimum viable product.
When the title just says ‘review’, you know Ralph is gonna have something particularly interesting to say
I literally can’t get over Johnson looking like Steve Harvey. Like… who tf at 343 thought that was a good idea?!
After this review Microsoft will fire another 3,200 employees
How is Ralph like the only professional reviewer (at least from who I've read) to point out how much 343/Halo Studios continually whiff the Forerunner art direction and explain exactly why the OG worked? Great review all around.
“This is Halo’s A team.” No, Ralph. It’s not been for over 15 years.
Not even nitpicks man, it’s death by a thousand cuts. Fuck Halo studios.
343/Halo studios has never had a vision for Halo
The flinch I just experienced at Chiefs, "Your're always hungry" line... Oh my god, what did they do.
Look out chief! These enemies are using stealth armor! Shows red dots over all the enemies, eliminating the entire point of the stealth armor….
Just seeing “review” in the title is like seeing Jeremy Jahns not smiling
THANK YOU for mentioning the low priority of the music! When I was playing via my sound system the music was so quiet I could BARELY hear it and had to lower almost every other sound slider and STILL had to put the volume higher then I would normally have it at. I feel so vindicated hearing you mention the bad sound mixing.
the sheer audacity 343 has to call itself Halo Studios when it clearly still doesn't understand a damn thing about Halo is insane
This is the "Focus, M" of Halo. The red blips above the camo elites heads proves 343 think we're mouth drooling morons. Don't get me started on how flat the voice acting is.
Every entry I think "finally! this will be the one to force 343/Halo Studios to step back and self reflect on what they're doing." and yet, every time, unbelievably, it's misstep after misstep.
The cut scene animations are just odd, it's like the characters are always smiling or trying to stop themselves from bursting out laughing.
