If you enjoyed Halo (more towards Combat Evolved or even ODST), then you'll enjoy Reach. The graphics engine has been overhauled, and as such graphics are better than the other games (although they weren't bad to begin with). The game likes to boast such things through-out, as it often has moments where you are facing a stunning vista backdrop of the planet, or some large-scale battle happening, and you just let a little "wow" slip out. Details on things like guns and armor are even better, helping to add to the overall cosmetics, although every now and then you'll notice little hiccups (such as Emile's skull helmet paint randomly missing in-game).
