Halo 3

metalmoog's Halo 3 (Legendary Edition) (Xbox 360) review

Halo 3 - Some new, a lot more of the same?

Originally when Halo came out I thought it was an amazingly fun & original shooter.  I played through it once and finished it with a friend, and that was it.  Bought Halo 2, played it for a few hours and thought "Holy shit, this is Halo with dual wielding guns", dropped it and never picked it up again.  
 
Earlier this year I decided to give Halo 3 a shot, being the first time it appeared on the Xbox 360, I expected this game to advance by leaps and bounds, which it has to a certain degree.  The online matchmaking system is some of the best I have seen for any of the 360 games, the ability to record your own games, upload & share them with the community is awesome.  The graphics are prettier, but overall even with this advancements I feel this is still the exact same Halo I played years ago on the Xbox.  I haven't seen any substantial changes to the gameplay, and found even with the recent new features added, this game still bored me to tears.  I haven't even made it through the campaign yet, because the story does nothing to pull me in, I just feel no desire to continue to plod along.  In terms of the FPS genre games like Borderlands & MW2 bring a lot more to the table, for me at least.

Continuing on from the end of Halo 2, which was very much disappointing, Master Chief had just arrived back at Earth to 'Finish the Fight', we see his ship crash into Earth's atmosphere and down in the jungle. You then find out that the Covenant have been excavating a huge hole in a part of the earth near New Mombasa. They've uncovered a huge Forerunner device, The Ark. This Ark is the...

Halo 3 (Legendary Edition)(Xbox 360) by littleblondetom on March 07, 2009
Halo 3 is one of the most eagerly anticipated games ever made. The first Halo was a landmark achievement in not just first person shooter, but in gaming as a whole. It had incredible visuals, a great story accompanied by great music and voice work and absolutely perfect shooter gameplay. With so many gameplay innovations; such as the rebounding health meter and the limited weapon carrying it was probably the best console shooter since Goldeneye and probably the best console shooter, along with i...
