Great graphics, awesome replay value! Highly recommended that you get Xbox Live to play online games - the online play absolutely makes Halo such an amazing game.

It's Halo - for better or worse...

You've played Halo and Halo 2? Get ready for more of the same with Halo 3. This means everything you liked will still be there and everything you didn't will be as well. Bungie played it safe.

Singleplayer:

Singleplayer has fairly nicely laid out levels. This is still a very "on the rails" experience. You have a limited number of ways to accomplish your tasks and the game will beat you over the head at times because of this. The checkpoints are more numerous than in previous iterations so you won't be playing through that same fights over and over again as often. The Normal difficulty mode will be too easy for those skilled at first person shooters. Do yourself a favor and play it at on Heroic instead. The best feature of the campaign is the ability to play co-operatively. This adds quite a bit to the experience. This feature works very well over Xbox Live.

Multiplayer:

This is the downer in my opinion. Gameplay has not sufficiently advanced since Halo 2. Many of the weapons feel cheap and there is a definite lack of balance. The levels favor those who have taken the time to memorize the locations of items. Many weapons seem useless in most circumstances. A majority of enemy encounters break down into little more than a melee-fest. You can still expect to see people bunny-hopping all over the place. The play lists are too broad in scope and you will inevitably get stuck in a boring match at some point. Searching for a room can take a good bit of time on occasion. Some of the more interesting modes such as Infection are very rarely selected. You will play the more bread-and-butter Slayer (deathmatch) quite a lot. Leveling up takes a long time and you will be punished for not playing every single spare moment you have. Luckily, the unlockable items are nothing more than cosmetic improvements to your character. The disadvantage is that it makes the multiplayer seem hollow with nothing worthwhile being accomplished from your investment of time. Some of the maps have been regurgitated from Halo 2 which makes this "new" game seem old right out of the box. The number of levels available in multiplayer is sub-par for the genre and Bungie's decision to charge players an additional fee months after the release for more maps seems like a huge money grab. The maps don't always lend themselves well to the type of gameplay selected or the number of players in the game. The Forge "level editor" really isn't a level editor but rather a weapon layout and item placement mode. Its implementation is bland and I don't know that many will find it to be of much use.

The bottom line:

It's good but not great. This could have advanced the Halo franchise but instead it has become mired in mediocrity.

A Tribute to the Best

Let me just start off by saying that I disliked Halo 2 greatly, it was almost entirely multiplayer focused, and although the story was robust, it was poorly cobbled together in probably one of the most bland and contrived single player campaign's I have ever played.

Enter Halo 3, I havn't played the multiplayer, although I've heard it's quite good. Excellent new weapons, most notably the original assault rifle and magnum (minus the scope that made no sense in the first place). These gave the campaign a nostalgic feel too it. Overall the campaign was fantastic, the story was still robust, but delivered very well.

I'm a sucker for atmosphere, I consider games like the Half-Life series to be the best, and this game, like it's original (Halo 1) masterfully gives you a real sense of being in the game. You really feel like you're fighting the last desperate battle for humanity, and you really feel the desperation as the brave remnants of earth's defense fight their last, and in the middle of the chaos you really feel like your humanity's last best hope for survival. Returning this game is also the feeling of mystery, as you finally unravel the secrets of the Forerunners, who built the Halos. Something that was entirely absent in Halo 2. No more contrived gameplay sequences like, Heres a tank! now drive it across a straight bridge while ghosts spawn in front of you for you to blow them up. Just good, well designed levels, that are challenging and fun to play.

My only gripe with this game is that it could be quite possibly one of the shortest games I've ever played, and that is what prevents this game from getting a 5 star review.

HALO 3 ROCKS

If you are a halo fan, you already got this game. If you are a first person shooter fan, you are better off going with Call of Duty 4.

Awesome Game

Halo 3 is the ultimate first-person shooter, and it is one of Bungie's finest games. There are very realistic graphics and a very compelling story. The weapon and vehicle selecions on Halo 3 are amazingly vast. Playing online with the amazing multi-player maps is great fun. Halo 3 is the best Halo game yet. Unless someone doesn't like amazing action in a first-person shooter, they would love this game.

Halo 3 the gift that keeps giving

This game is awesome, either you play it by yourself or co-op with several friends, this is an excellent choice of game for Xbox 360.
