    Bullet Point Review: Halo 3 (XB360)

    What I liked:

    Graphics - I'm playing on a SDTV, and I still think this game is gorgeous. I can only imagine it on an HD set.

    New Stuff - The addition of things like the Brute Chopper, Flamethrower, the Mongoose, etc, in the single player campaign, just adds such so much fun to a series that was already filled to the brim with goodness to begin with.

    Theatre - For those that don't know, Theatre mode allows you to save gameplay footage and go back and re-watch it, pause it, snap sceenshots,etc from whatever angle or perspective you want. I love it.

    Slowdown - If there was slowdown in this game, I certainly didn't notice it... and that includes some of the huge Scaarb battles too.

    A.I. - I'm not much for online co-op, and as such I played Halo 3 all be myself. Thankfully the A.I., both in my fellow marines and in my enemies, is top notch.

    Outdoors - My favorite place to be in FPS's, in outside, and in Halo 3 the outdoor enviornments are jaw-droppingly beautiful. 

    What I didn't like:

    Length - When games are this good, I don't want them to end. And as such I found Halo 3 to be just a tad too short.

    Cutscenes - My only gripe with the cutscenes in this game, is sometimes the music is so loud you can't always hear what people are saying.


    IMO, there's not much wrong with Halo 3. It's an amazing game. Having cancelled XBLive, I didn't get a chance to go online and try out the multiplayer options like Forge, online co-op, etc. But if the online stuff is even half as good as it was in Halo 2...well you're in for a treat.

    Overall I'd give Halo 3 a 5 out of 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...
