Dont worry about low-end systems, April 26, 2005
A Kid's Review
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
A lot of the reviews I read before buying this games said that you need the best computer to run it. This is not true. I have an eMac G4 1Ghz, ATI Radeon 9200 32Mb Video Card and a 17" screen. This game runs fine even at medium graphics settings. Although there are some choppy glitchy parts, I noticed this also occured on some of my other friends' higher-end computers on the same settings. I would recommend getting it for Xbox although it is better to be played with a mouse and keyboard rather than a game controller.
On another note, those parents who keep track of what their kids are playing, do not let the M rating of this game prevent you from letting your kids play it. Rent it for Xbox or buy it used and then sell it back if it doesn't suit your standards. I would compare this game to many T games that I have played, such as Golden Eye: Rogue Agent, Metroid Prime, the 007 James Bond games, Mercenaries, and Star Wars: Battlefront. Most of the explicit content of the game can be disabled or won't even be noticeable during gameplay. The main thing that I have noticed to be a problem is the blood on the ground. Just a tip: You can turn this off in the Options Menu by locating the choice called Decals and disabling it. Other than that, there isn't really any other content that should require an M rating.
Let me add one more thing. If by chance some paranoid parent thinks that their kid might enable anything that they have disabled, trust me. Unless your kid just lives to annoy you and make you mad, they wont because they will be so thankful to you for getting this game for them, they won't do anything that might have a chance of taking it away.
REMEMBER!!!!!! Runs fine on a G4 1 Ghz Mac with a ATI Radeon 9200 Video Card....(The video card is standard for any eMac or iMac G4 or G5
Play it long, Play it hard!!!!!

Some Mac issues - but awesome fun., January 15, 2004
By A Customer
I have a 1.25Mhz G4 iMac with a 17" screen. It is roughly two months old. Halo is the first software title that I've bought since getting the iMac. When I installed it and started playing the first time, I was horrified ... I thought, "I've spent $2,200 for an iMac that doesn't even have the guts to run this game?" If you are having this problem, or if you've experienced the same thing and haven't upgraded to Panther ... do it now. Once I upgraded to Panther, Halo started playing great. Without Panther, the cut scenes were awful. The characters' looked like sticks, and their mouths stayed open when they talked, exposing their teeth. It looked more like resident evil than Halo. With Panther, however, those problems have been fixed.Graphically, I'm a little disappointed. But I bought my Mac for my design work, not gaming. Game play, however, is awesome. Online play with my DSL connection is seamless. Sound is great. I am not at all disappointed that I bought the game. I would recommend it. I wish I could see it in all of it's glory ... but now that I'm hooked, I have a feeling there's an Xbox and Halo 2 in my future.

I can run it on my iBook, July 16, 2004
By A Customer
I don't get why everyone can't seem to run Halo very well on all these high end machines. I can run the single player without lag on low/medium graphics on my 800MHz G3 640MB RAM. I can even run the multiplayer on medium/high graphics. I can run it better than my roomates 2GHz pc. I guess you just have to fool around with the settings and find the one that works.You do need a fast connection to play the multiplayer though.
