Comparison Of Halo: Combat Evolved Vs. Super Mario Bros
Halo: Combat Evolved Versus Super Mario Bros. 3 Halo: Combat Evolved and Super Mario Bros. 3 were two of the most popular video games to their respective consoles. They each have a hold on those who grew up and played them within their generations. They both are revered as some of the best games ever made despite a thirteen year gap in their releases. Although there are some similarities in these games, their differences definitely set them apart. Especially in their stories, character developments, and graphics. Halo: Combat Evolved’s story is one of the main reasons it was such a popular game. It is one of adversity, science fiction, loss, betrayal, disease, and of course, plenty of action. The player plays as Master Chief John 117, a genetically altered human with cybernetic enhancements. Master Chief was awakened from cryogenic to sleep to ensure the safety of the ship’s artificial intelligence known as Cortana. The ship …show more content…
In Halo: Combat Evolved, the player really starts to get to know the characters. There is a lot of dialogue between Master Chief and Cortana. The player also gets to know Captain Jacob Keyes of the Pillar of Autumn fairly well along with Sergeant Avery Johnson. They both have several levels with them in it with their own cut scenes. The player also gets to know the monitor of the installation “343 Guilty Spark” very well due to the fact he is the main antagonist and has several cut scenes devoted to him as well. All of this gives the gamer a good sense of their characters. The character development for Super Mario Bros. 3 however is virtually nonexistent. There aren’t any cut scenes like those in Halo: Combat Evolved. There also doesn’t seem to be any dialogue between the brothers at all. At most there might be a textbox saying “Thank you for saving me,” at the end of beating a boss or Bowser. There’s a lot of character development left to be

    For example Westly had the most character development, which isn’t saying much considering all we are told is his name and where he disappeared too, which was to join a faction of pirates. But other characters like Buttercup and Prince Humperdinck have no backstory and, although their personalities and traits are gradually revealed as the story progresses, there were very few opportunities to become emotionally attached to these three main characters.…

    On the other hand, Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s campaign is the same throughout all of the Call of Duty games. All there is to the plot is- kill the evil dictator or kill the villain and you’re done. Good Bye! Campaign over… That’s all there is to Call of Duty. Kill. Kill. Kill. The characters are just there so that you can play them. The characters aren’t much really. The only good thing about Black Ops II campaign is that it can be pretty intense killing all those people. It’s just nonsense killing. This is why Halo 4’s campaign is better than Black Ops’s campaign. Look at…

    When the marines crash land on Halo, they discover a deadly parasite called Flood living under the surface of the ring. But instead of being carried by bacteria, it is carried by bulbous, blob-like things. When a living organism [including the Covenant] gets infected by it, they quickly start to mutate into rotting, deadlier versions of their former selves. The entire human exploration squad, including their captain, Captain Keyes, gets infected, and mutate into Flood combat forms. All except for, that is, Captain Keyes, who mutates into a huge, stationary Flood form, and later dies. When the rest of the marines lose contact of Captain Keyes and his crew, they suspect something is wrong and send the Chief off to…

    In conclusion, the different connections the characters have together makes the novel even more powerful than it already is. Paul has at least one connection to every character in the book but the men who knew each other before the war, the man that Paul killed out of instinct, and the brothers in combat are the most significant to the novel. All…

    "Im not trying to be a hero if you think I like this, you are crazy. Amy look, this is my town"(Foreman 296). This proves that Kane the main character in High Noon shows emotion. "The world is made up of two different classes- the hunters and the hunted, luckily you and I are hunters" (Connell 212). This shows that the characters in "the Most Dangerous Game" just throw away their feelings, it's as if they didn't have any feelings at all. Also for High Noon, Kane has never run in his life. The first time he did he couldn't he had to go back to protect his town. This shows how the stories are different because one shows feeling and one…

    McGonigal begins her essay with news about the latest milestone that Halo players have achieved, which is ten billion Covenant kills. She explains the meaning of this achievement and why gamers are so proud of it. She deconstructs the reasoning behind a gamer’s fascination of video games into three “epic” categories including: scale, context, and environment. These categories are the foundation for the benefits that can be achieved from playing video games, which Jane aims to reveal. She concludes her essay with research on how playing video games results in positive actions and a call to action for readers to start applying the lessons of video games to everyday life.…

    Apart from being so old that it’s primarily just a source of nostalgia these days, the Nintendo 64 is still amazing. It was really revolutionary in its time, and still influences games to this day. The Nintendo 64 was actually originally intended to be called the Ultra 64. Due to the fact that Nintendo wanted to keep the line of game systems titles continuous from the Nintendo Entertainment System, and then the ‘Super’ Nintendo Entertainment System, Ultra would have been next. They decided against this in the end, however, and settled for Nintendo. The 64 part came from the fact that this was the first system to use a 64 bit gaming system. While everybody accepts this fact, it was debated over by Atari, who claimed that their Jaguar system used 64 bit programming. While it did have some 64 bit programming, it was only in certain aspects of the game and not available game. In comparison, the current X-box 360’s have 128 bits. So the Nintendo 64 has half of the bits that the most advanced gaming systems today have. To account for the huge difference in the qualities of these systems, the difference is the graphics processing power. The Nintendo 64 runs at 62.5 mhz., while the X-box 360 runs at 500 mhz. So running the Nintendo 64 at 500 mhz. would have graphics half as good as any current gaming system. Considering that the Nintendo 64 was made in 1996 and the 360 was made in 2005, this proves how innovative and advanced the Nintendo 64 really was and is.…
