Good, friendly, violent fun.

It is addictive for many reasons for many different people. The design of the creatures, vehicles, and characters, is of a very anime/scifi nature, mixing the complex creature and machine designs found in japanese manga and anime with traditional scifi elements, the melding makes the game look very pleasant from a simple design perspective and draws in the gamer with its vibrant colors, designs, and landscapes. Also the controls are very intuitive, allowing the player the freedom to make split second decisions about whether to engage enemies from afar (guns), medium range (nades), or close up (melee), you can literally make endless combinations on the fly when playing multiplayer or the campaign. Furthermore the vehichles are extremely fun and control amazingly well, you can do jumps, rolls, and even flips, giving gun fights a sort of "hollywood" style action feel. When you go off a ramp on a warthog, land, and then spin just right so the sniper in the passenger seat gets a clear shot off at the enemy that was in front of you just seconds ago you really feel like you are in some high budget action movie. Basically this game is full of "AWE" moments for any type of game enthusiast, the amazing visuals mixed with extremely fast paced and creative gunplay combined with vehichles and an amazing multiplayer makes Halo a great contender for greatest game ever mad and the most addictive shooter of all time.
Very well said mate, just imagine the fun we're gonna have with the new saved films functionality in H3, particularly when you can detach the camera to view from any perspective!! Halo2 is a helluva game for matchplay, easily better than anything else, but H3 will just be pwntacular.
