It's a shame because I feel like Halo: Spartan Assault could have been a great game if they took the time to add more features to the game. Make the game more challenging, add tons of new levels, make the game feel like a real twin stick shooter where I am shooting all over the screen to avoid being killed. That, to me, would have been worth the price increase, but as it stands, Halo: Spartan Assault on Xbox One is just an expensive port of a game that was released months ago.","http:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamingnexus.com\u002FArticle\u002FHalo-Spartan-Assault\u002FItem4298.aspx","2014-01-13","4.9",49,{"id":101,"author":102,"outlet":105,"summary":110,"review_url":111,"review_date":112,"original_score":113,"normalized_score":84},52739,{"id":103,"name":104},4416,"Simon Miller",{"id":106,"logo":107,"name":108,"website_url":109,"score_format":79},74,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FVideogamer-logo.jpg","Videogamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002F","Spartan Assault is simple but entertaining.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002Freviews\u002Fhalo-spartan-assault-review\u002F","2021-06-05","7.0\u002F10",{"id":115,"author":116,"outlet":119,"summary":124,"review_url":125,"review_date":126,"original_score":127,"normalized_score":128},103908,{"id":117,"name":118},5624,"Kyle Hilliard",{"id":120,"logo":121,"name":122,"website_url":123,"score_format":79},141,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fgameinformer.jpg","Game Informer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gameinformer.com\u002F","Halo: Spartan Assault feels like a Halo game, which is no small feat considering it plays very differently from the original first-person shooter that set the genre standard on consoles.
