    The conclusion to the Halo trilogy

    Pros
    • Forge editor is fantastic, adds much replay value.
    • The theater is also another great new feature, very well done.
    • Good customization for characters online.
    • Most of the single player is a blast and the co-op is excellent.

    Cons
    • Campaign could be much longer.
    • Graphics are slightly disappointing

    Presentation

    Menus look great. Very well presented cut scenes and ending to the game. Online matchmaking is fantastic.

    5/5

    Graphics

    Great in some areas, mediocre in others. Overall the graphics aren't outstanding in any category. The explosions and colorful graphics look beautiful. The textures could use some serious help sometimes.

    3.5/5

    Gameplay

    The best part of any Halo game. The single player is a blast, the co-op is great, and the online multiplayer is incredible. This is what made gamers keep coming back to Halo 1 and 2 for years. Their is also 2 unique new features in Halo 3 which just add to the fun, the Theater and Forge map editor. Both are great and I could spend hours using each.

    5/5

    Sound

    Voice acting is usually great, explosions and guns sound great. Theme song and music is as it always has been incredible.

    5/5

    Online


    The best part of Halo 3 and the last 2 Halo games. What gamers keep coming back for. What halo is known for. Great matchmaking, very fun and plentiful match types. Fantastic ranking system. Able to play matches created in Forge online. Share videos from the theater with friends online. Co-op is very fun. Online in Halo 3 is one of the best online experiences of the next-generation and in history.

    5/5

    Lasting Appeal

    The online will keep you coming back for years. Nuff' said.

    5/5

    Overall

    The defining game for the entire Xbox platform. Something every 360 owner should have.

    5/5

      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...
