Destiny is going to quickly become a phenomenal shooting game. I have played the Alpha and the Beta for the much anticipated game, Destiny, and I would say that it is going to become a great game for this generation. It's a perfect mix between HALO and Borderlands that has all the makings of a greater shooter. From the Beta, I can conclude that Destiny has an engaging online multiplayer component, good controls, nice graphics, an interesting campaign, and has customization options that make everyone feel unique.
Destiny has a very good graphic design that reminds you of Halo, such as the style of the graphics on the armor or the weapons. The futuristic graphic direction, helps create a sound setting that makes it seem realistic that you are in the future. A cool thing that I noticed with the graphics is that not all the settings stay the same. You can see one setting during the day and the same setting during the night throughout the whole game, even in multiplayer. Nonetheless, characters also have similar animation motions to Halo; such as the Guardians running like Master Chief, or the enemies ducking into and out of cover. You can tell that the game was put together by the same developers as Halo, which is good because those games are awesome.

Nevertheless, since it's the same developer as Halo; the gameplay is great fun. Over the course of going through a mission, enemies will come out of everywhere and you will have to constantly keep guard of your character. With an array of all sorts of weapons at your disposal and specific class abilities like in Borderlands; it's a blast to fight enemies. On top of all the great gameplay fun you will have; at the end of missions and throughout the world you will be rewarded with loot or upgrades.
Multiplayer is what will keep people coming back to this game. In the Beta, I could only play "Control" which is when your team tries to take control of key areas of the map. It was a fun game mode where no one felt to over powerful and became more fun the more you played. However, I didn't play the Iron Banner which unrestricts everyone's abilities because, it couldn't find anyone else that was playing during the limited time you could play it.
Also, thanks to being an online game; other Guardians can drop into your campaign game to help fight off enemies while exploring. However, when you enter a respawn restricted area the other Guardians disappear and it's then just your fireteam. Although, strike missions require fireteams that the game will start matchmaking so that everyone can experience co-op with others online.
