The story and voice acting is superb as is the graphics. Highly recommend to any Halo fan. The only downside is it's not going to interest a non halo fan and I was slightly disappointed that you don't get the chance to play through the story as the covenant but other than that it's a great game. There is also plenty of replay value. My first playthough clocked in at just over 10 hours but I didn't find any of the hidden skulls the first time. There are many hidden features that will give you many playthroughs.
