    Bungie is not the studio it was 5 years ago.

    If Halo 1 was the New Hope of the series, Halo 3 is comparable to the prequel trilogy. Halo 3 had promise, taking every single thing that made Halo 1 and 2 good, and putting it into a blender, the problem was that the mix was just the same thing as the first two games. There was nothing different about this game, and yes, you can argue that armor mods are totally new concepts, and that the new weapons make it a great game, but in the end, what does it really amount to? Sure, forge mode is ok, multiplayer is still fun, but it feels hollow. There's no love to this franchise anymore, it's just another corporate shell to make money. I'm not quite sure how to explain what was wrong with Halo 3, because it seemed to do everything right. Everything we wanted to be in the game was there, but oddly, it was very hollow and felt like a rehash of the first two, not its' own game. The singleplayer slipped into monotony, as we retread the territory of the first two games, and finally finished the campaign. The multiplayer was clearly the focus here, and this is something I especially hate. Multiplayer should be an afterthought. Making a good singleplayer campaign is the first thing in mind, not multiplayer. Multiplayer is a fun affair while it lasts, but it's the same monotony the other games built upon; BXR, or stick and run. This is a good game, no doubt, but it already exists, is 30 bucks cheaper, and is called Halo 2.

      I'll focus on several aspects in my review which I feel are important in any game, So let's begin. The Story. 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...

      Finishing the fight lives up to the hype, and then some. 0

      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...
