Great Console Games of The 2000S

The best console games of the 2000s have been on the Sony PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo game consoles such as the Wii. Overall, there have been some great game titles for these game consoles. These are a few of the great console games of the 2000s.

Halo:

To begin with Halo. The Halo games were among the top games for the Xbox, and also Xbox 360. All the Halo game titles were good, but the original Halo was one that started the bandwagon and gained many fans for the Xbox game consoles. This game has ten great levels for the Master Chief to battle through en route to destroying the Halo, featuring some great graphics and audio effects. In addition to the great single player game, Halo was also great for multi-player gaming. Additional sequels to the Halo game title further enhanced the game series up to Halo 3.

Mario Galaxy:

Mario Galaxy is one of the best games for the Wii. Mario platform games always seem to be among the top game releases, and the latest addition to the Mario franchise does not disappoint in this respect. In this great 3D platform game Mario takes to orbit in pursuit of the missing Miss Peach. Aside from the original Mario Galaxy, Mario Galaxy 2 has also been a great sequel with enhanced level designs and graphics.

Call of Duty:

Call of Duty was one of the best FPS games of the last decade. Originally a WW2 FPS game, new additions to the Call of Duty series include Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare for a variety of consoles such as the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. This addition was set in the Middle East, was an even more intense game than that of its predecessors featuring more modern combat scenarios than early Call of Duty game titles. Aside from the single player game, Call of Duty 4 also had great multi-player options which made for a fantastic package.

Super Mario Bros:

In a decade that was dominated by 3D games, New Super Mario Bros bucked the trend and proved to be one of the top game titles of the 2000s. New Super Mario Bros was a Mario game that went back to the old-school 2D platform, but including some 3D effects. New Super Mario Bros on the Wii also included multiplayer options, one of the first Mario games to do so in recent times. New Super Mario Bros was a big hit on the Nintendo DS, and was, is, also one of the best Wii games.

Overall, these were four of the best game titles and series of the 2000s. They include Halo, Call of Duty game titles such as Call of Duty 4, both Mario Galaxy games, and New Super Mario Bros for both the Nintendo DS and the Wii.

I will start out by saying I am a 17 year old who plays with his friends and family online. I have always been a First Person Shooter fan. Modern Warfare 2 was the best, But recently laggers and glitches have ruined the game. I looked for a game to play until Black Ops comes out. I will start out by saying the console in it self is AMAZEING and I find it a great deal for 400 bucks. I had a old Arcade with a 20gb hard drive. So the 250gb is a great upgrade. 

Console: 
For 400 bucks this bundle is a steal you are getting.. 
. A 250gb Xbox Console (300 Bucks) 
. 2 Halo reached themed controllers (They Look amazeing) 50 dollars per controller = (100 Bucks) 
. A copy of Halo Reach. (60 bucks) 
That adds up to 0. While you are paying 0. Virtually you are saving 60 bucks. Which is the price of a new game! 

Gameplay. 

Forge: Forge has faced a graphical overhaul since Halo 3. All of the common things that were tricks and hard for some people to do in Halo 3, have now been built into the game making it much easier for these tasks to be performed. You can allow objects to float (phased) Normal ( Halo 3 style ) And one other that allows you to put objects through the environment. 
Forge ***** (5 stars) It is going to be insane what the community comes up with. 

Multiplayer: 
I have yet to play much Multiplayer but the games I did play were much more relaxing than Modern Warfare 2. My first game I thought there had to be a lag! Because Halo Reach is much slower paced ( In a good way). And all the people that thought Jet Pack noobs would rule the game? Honestly very little people were actually using them. I rate the online. *****(5 Stars) 

Campaign: After reading reviews and playing the first level with a friend I must say. This is Bungies best campaign for any Halo game to date. Your spartan you create for multiplayer is taken into campaign. And any cut scenes show the except spartan you create (its awesome) . And the story I have read is a great prequel to the Halo Series. 

Console: This is the new Xbox 360 Redesign it looks amazeing with the silver paintjob. The Custom sounds I thought would be annoying are actually pretty epic. Im not a massive halo fan but they are a great addition to the console. Its whisper quiet and I would highly reccomend getting it. Build in Wifi is a plus. I had no connection issues whatsoever.

Overview 
Graphics 5/5 (Much better than Halo 3) 
Online 5/5 (A big change from Halo 3 but a amazing change) 
Firefight 5/5 ( EXTREMELY fun with alot of friends) 
Campaign 5/5 ( A great prequel to Halo) 

Game Overall 5/5 The Greatest Halo Game I have ever played. 
Console Overall 5/5 
PS: Sorry for the bad review this is my first game review.
