Summary

Game Description

In this console-friendly first-person shooter, you play as a high-tech supersoldier--Master Chief--who's charged with saving mankind from the clutches of the villainous Covenant, a fanatical alien race comprised of dozens of different species. Chief's battle takes him to Earth to "finish the fight," but the online mode is the highlight. You can play online with up to 16 players at one time in a huge array of multiplayer games: Team Slayer, Capture the Flag, and more. Four players can also play the single-player mode together over Xbox Live in the online cooperative play mode. Halo 3 also has amazing user-customizable maps, unlockable armor sets, and a huge arsenal of deadly human and Covenant weaponry.

Halo 3... I love it

Pros Cons
Tight controls Repetitive gameplay
Addictive gameplay Annoying audio
Intense action
Fantastic multiplayer
Just plain fun

Halo 3 is a great game but the only thing I hate about it is Coratna talking all the time and interupting you, the online ranking is much worse than CoD 4 its much harder and the achivements are stupid.Why do some HAVE to be on a ranked FREE FOR ALL. its just stupid. you might try really hard to get the achivement on something else then your absolutely disapointed. Yet I still think the game is great.
P.S They need to stop the hackers

Halo 3 is worth it.

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay Poor storytelling
Tight controls Not enough content
Fantastic multiplayer
Intense action

I gave it a five because it one of my favorite games for the Xbox 360 and can never stop playing with anyone through Xbox Live.

I know, but it's worth 5 stars anyway.

Pros Cons
Tight controls Poor storytelling
Loads of content Ugly visuals
Fantastic multiplayer Repetitive gameplay
Doesn't live up to expectations

Yes, the story is pretty weak. Yes, the graphics look like Halo 2.5. Yes, you will spend a lot of time on the "shoot, punch" technique. The expectations were ridiculously high. It is not my favorite, but it is still great. The multiplayer is solid. The game is very polished and that's why it deserves 5 stars. I may have my gripes with it, but it still is one of the best shooters ever.

So where to begin on the legendary Halo 3. Does it live up to all they hype. Is it really the greatest game of all time? Depends on who you ask. When it comes to single player campaign, it falls short. Not enough levels, and the story starts to stray halfway through the game. But the few levels in the game are done extremely well, minus Cortana. That level is plain garbage. But where this game really shines is its' multiplayer aspects. Brand new levels, the new Forge level creator, a revolutionary way to view and save clips from any angle, either in single or multiplayer, and new weapons and equipment all make for a great experience. The replayability on this game is extremely high, and can suck you in for months if you're not careful. Just a quick warning though....if you plan on playing it online, be ready to be bombarded with insults and racial slurs in almost every single game you play in. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I love the Halo series, so I had to see how Halo 3 was gonna stack up. It's a great game, but it doesn't quite live up to expectations...after all, the hype was crazy!

Story: A continuation of the Halo story. The brutes are now the main protector of thee Prophet of Truth and Master Chief and the Arbiter must stop him from activating a final Halo ring. For fans only.

Graphics: Good stuff, detailed jungles to flood infested building. It lacks wow factor, but they are still really good. It still look like Halo 2, though, with alot more polish. Some of the NPC allies do look pretty iffy though.

Sound: Great music and great voice acting, just what you'd expect from halo.

Controls: It controls like a dream. Very similar to past Halo games, only difference is the use of the right and left bumpers on teh 360 now. I do wish the mellee attack was a little faster though.

Gameplay: Classic Halo, you shoot stuff, and then shoot some more lol. The Brutes a tough challenge this time and cover is very important. Lots of cool new mellee weapons like the Gravity Hammer enchance the gameplay.

Overall: This should be a no brainer to any Halo fan. If your new to the series though, I suggest you pick up Combat Evolved first.
