Halo: Reach Breaks Record On Opening Day

Halo Reach

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few months you will have been counting down the days till Halo: Reach goes on sale. It went on sale yesterday and has already broke the record for the number of online games being played at one time. A record previously held by Modern Warfare 2 since November 2009.

If you haven’t already got the game you should get to your nearest games store and pick up a copy. Here are what some of the world’s best gaming sites had to say:

“The only thing missing from this impressive entry is a number “4″ in the title, because for all intents and purposes, Reach feels like the next big thing in the Halo franchise.” – GamePro (5 out of 5 stars)

“Halo: Reach is bar none the most developed, robust, and title in the franchise.” – Planet Xbox 360 (10 out of 10)

“Halo: Reach is everything a Halo fan has ever dreamed for.” – Destructoid (10 “Flawless Victory”)

“Nine years in and on its fifth and final pass Bungie has created the definitive Halo experience…” – IGN UK (10 out of 10 “Masterful”)

…a perfect way for Bungie to part with the series it turned into a phenomenon. – Game Informer (10 out of 10)

Halo: Reach is unquestionably the best of the Halo games, and that’s not a small thing to say. But Bungie doesn’t just match the best of every Halo game that came before it, they’ve improved it, streamlined it, perfected it. – Kotaku
