FunXbox has posted a positively glowing review of Halo on their site. Here's an excerpt:

The level of detail in the sprites, environments, and objects is simply astonishing. The screenshots you have been seeing for the past year aren't lying, the graphics in halo explode past any and all of the graphical boundries we have seen in shooters over the past decade. Stepping out of the aircraft into the giant world of halo is like opening your eyes for the first time. You will be reminded of the awesome detail and visually captivating graphics when you turn on your flashlight, jump in your vehicle, rip through the skies in your aircraft, or even when you fire your weapon, pulling down the trigger treats you to an amazing array of lights, colors, and textures.

They give Halo a total score of 9.8. Thanks to Louis Wu at HBO for the heads-up.
