What can i say, this is the best game that ever created. awesome gameplay. engaging story, and more. I have 2 words : "HALO RULES"

Halo 1 was fun, not my favorite game though, Halo 2 was good, also not my favorite FPS game. However Halo 3, its epic!!! the graphics needed more AA in them, but HDR was awesome, textures were amazing too, NPC's were good to look at and their Ai was good too, story was great and in Legendary long enough, this game is suppose to be plaid in legendary, online awesome, and loads of stuff to drive...whats not to love about it, Sony fanboys bash it saying its not good, but real xboxers love it if their into halo and fps games

Halo 3 is a pretty good shooter but falls short of extreme greatness by a few simple mistakes that could of been easily avoided. The story is okay and short. Multiplayer and forge, on the other hand, is where this game's true meat lies. Armor was a cool thing to add but maybe got a little out of hand now with all this recon armor crap. I would like to give this game 4.5/5 but you can't here so whatever. probably a very good game rating for a 4. don't be fooled, I love Halo 3, but it has its flaws.

Well maybe not but there's a lot to be said about Halo 3 and most of it is good. The game may not be as fun as the original Halo in either story mode or multi-player but what it does bring to the table is a refreshed engine, great feel, an excellent online experience and customization. All the while maintaining what makes the Halo franchise so great.

Halo 3's biggest gripe is it's story mode. The levels feel underdeveloped and monotonous. Sure Bungie tried to mix things up a bit by bringing in an array of new features, such as cool new weapons, vehicles and boss battles but none of really comes together like it's predecessor. It's one of those games that great the first time around but once you've beaten it, there's not much to go back for. Sure achievements are great and testing your will against enemies in Legendary mode are too but after that all you'll want to do is play online. Which brings me to my next case.

Halo 3's strongest feature is it's online multi-player mode. Not enough can be said about it. It should and probably will set a standard for online performance in terms of the interface layout to human interaction to technical features. The environments or stages I should say are immaculate. Less than or equal to Halo's multi-player and much stronger than Halo 2's accompanied by the ability to customize your Chief's (or Elite's) armor give that much needed spark to make the story mode seem irrelevant.

So why is it a 5 out of 5? Well like I said before, the story mode doesn't deserve much credit for anything but the online multi-player does and it deserves more than...well what it deserves. In most, if not all cases, when a games multi-player outshines it's missions then the games probably crap but I can assure you, that's not the case with one of the best games out this gen, Halo 3.

Alright, I didn't put any cons because the ones they gave me as choices weren't the problems with the game. Anyway, Halo 3 is an AMAZING product that any sci fi fan or shooter fan should buy. It was even more amazing for me because it was my first Halo game, and online game. When I got the game last Christmas, I didn't have Xbox Live, but it was a blast with the fun filled campaign and 1v1v1v1 split screen battles. When I got XBL, it was even more of a blast, with it's amazing online features, Foundry (ultimate forge map) many new downloadable maps, the fileshare system and much more. This is a very undetailed review- I know, but later I'll have a more fleshed out and detailed review :)

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

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.

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.
