Sandbox: highly redundant, but it was solid and balanced for the most part. Soundtrack: personally I don't think it compares to the CE-Reach OSTs, but it was at least an attempt at a different feel. Campaign: the actual story was okay, but what I liked is how 343 tried to bring the books into the games. Armor customization: even though most of the armor is hideous, the depth of customization was on par with Reach's. Cinematics and cutscenses: beautiful. Enough said. Everything else ranged from okay to downright awful, AKA customs and multiplayer.
