Review of Halo Master Chief Collection(Xbox One)

okay guys, my first Xbox One review.  What's a better way to kick the Xbox reviews off by looking at the most famous franchises in the history of Xbox so can this game score big in the blog? or will it fall as easy as Reach?




this game is the biggest deal in the history of Xbox! this game sets us up for Halo 5 Guardians(Destiny cliché *ding*) in this game we can relive the epicness that is Halo. This bundles Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3 , and Halo 4.  You play as Spartan  117 aka Master Chief, a super-soldier who has to fight off the covenant, an alliance of alien races which is  here for one purpose- extinction of humanity. The accessibility scores are as follows

audibility 0
343i has repeated Goldeneye Reloaded's mistake - they completely  scrapped in in-game subtitles! so for hearing impaired players, i recommend buying the individual games in the series ( look in eBay for Halos 1 and 2, most retro or preowned stores will have Halo 3 and 4 , they'll run on your 360  no problem) for the campaigns and use this game for the multiplayer i understand that a disc can only hold so much data, but adding subtitles into a game  should be a standard for the industry as a whole! so they could have included in-game subtitles in one of the game's patches!

lack of a colour blind mode will slightly disadvantage colour-blind players in multiplayer, but 343i and Bungie has  made a clever work around for it.  All teammates has a large arrow on top of his or her's head indicating that the player is on your team, and their service tags, displayed above those arrows should tell the player who is controlling that character. red crosses will indicate that the player is dead. Enemies on the other hand    has either. has either of those. this indicates that he isn't on your team. Thi allows to assess the player's surrounding in battle. But the score bars  are displayed in red and blue, no option to alter them. This is a nightmare to some players with people with colour blindness. Finally the radar uses a different colour scheme friendlies, red dots are enemies. but the player shows up on radar when he or she is moving, also crouching avoids detection on radar, keep that in mind  when in battle Spartans!

the only saving grace of this game in terms of accessibility is the amount of options and layouts to select. you can pick a layout to use in one game in particular, or use a universal layout to use for every game in the collection. Which allows the mobility impaired players to use a control scheme that is familiar for every game included in the collection. So it's easily accessible to players with mobility impairments, you should be A-OK  with this game

gameplay 10
this game is  you can play any single player campaign featured in the collection on your own or with a friend over split screen or via Xbox Live. Speaking of online, the over ONE HUNDRED arenas, basically all map sets of the games featured in the collection including all DLC( Down Loadable Content) so  there  is enough content to keep you occupied for months!

an awesome game, but the lack of in-game subtitles makes this game unplayable for hearing impaired players and the lack of colour blind options can be an issue to colour blind gamers. not  half bad, 343industries!
