Cool 0
Halo 3 was everything I wanted and more it was awesome.Gameplay The singleplayer campaign is fun with a very good story and compelling characters. The action always sucks you in each little skirmish is a little different and the game only gets more fun and challenging as you progress. There's not much more I can say for the singleplayer it doesn't stand out in any particular way except for some awesome four player co-op action, and cool cameo's from Firefly/Serenity characters, and the skull...

An extremely solid game with excellent multiplayer. 0
I don't have all that much to say about it. Halo is a great series and I'm loving Halo 3. Is it overrated? Probably. It's not doing too much different then Halo 2 did. But why fix what ain't broke? Theres a noticable graphics improovement in there, as you'd expect. The game looks sharp in pretty much all areas of the game. This won't change the fact that walking through eerily familiar hallways and areas throughout the campaign is a tad bland, no matter how pretty these clone halls look. To be...

Master Chief's Final Mission 0
Halo 3 three is the final installment in the Xbox's most famous trilogy. Halo 3 improves on the orignal with having smoother gameplay, graphics and having a better storyline. For thos who were dissapointed with Halo 2's dissapointed storyline then you'll be pleased to know that Halo 3 delivers a compelling story from the begining to the end. The gameplay has been modified to be a little smoother but no dramatic changes have been made. Online is still full of jerks so you'll have to mute your hea...

My H3 review ported over from GS 0
(Old review that I wrote on GS)Halo’s popularity isn’t doing it any favors. The flagship title for the 360 before the console even hit stores, Halo 3 might be the most highly anticipated game ever made. It sold more copies from pre-orders alone than most games make in total sales. Following two nearly perfect entries, and under the burden of being the final chapter to the biggest storyline in gaming, it can’t help but disappoint. Against all odds, Halo 3 doesn’t disappoint. The story picks up ...

Will You Want To Finish The Fight? 0
The question as to wether you should or shouldn't buy Halo 3, the final installment of this trilogy, is simple. Yes. Not only does the game have a strong consistent yet varying storyline that can be summed up as epic. But it also has a very noteworthy online component. Wether you want to mess around in Deathmatch or capture the flag (CTF) or rather play through some of the harder difficulties with a more human and wiser buddy than what the game can offer you in single player in the online co-op....

Halo 3 Review 0
Halo 3, the concluding to the epic Halo franchise, is a fitting finish. It perfects everything from the initial two games to the series. Its improvements and additions make it a game that will still be looked back on years from now.The Graphics- Halo 3 is definitely one of the better looking games to be played on the Xbox 360. These games have generally always been known for their visuals. The multiple environments look great (particularly the first level which has a forest theme), the character...

Halo 3 Review 0
Halo 3 review.GraphicsThe graphics are quite good for the 360. There is no obvious texture pop in, considering the the grand scheme of some of the levels this is good. Some people may say there is not a large difference graphics wise in comparison to Halo 2. This i find to be untrue. Everything is improved, which is to be expected with the upgrade to the next gen console, there is no texture pop in. Something which its predecessor became infamous for. The lighting has improved, animations have i...

Its here.. Halo 3 has finally graced us with it's presence. 0
First off i will start with telling you that the graphics are not revolutionary like Gears of War or Bioshock but they are still good. It's the multiplayer that is the masterpiece of this game. So ill begin with the Campaign. As you know the story starts off where Halo 2 finished, Master Chief crashes down on Earth and you pretty much start off from there. I'm not going to tell you what happens for those people who dont have the game yet. The Campaign is alright to start with but it builds up t...

The King has returned. 0
Halo 3 is the 3rd game in the Halo series. Of course. The franchise that made console FPS cool. It is alot more of what you have come to expect. The Chief and Cortana save the world.Gameplay : Halo 3 doesn't stray from the formula . But it polishes it to a super shine. Aiming and moving are smooth as ever. The auto aim has been toned down. But not removed. It still has all the great vehicles from before. Warthog, Ghost, Banshee etc. While adding useful new ones, Mongoose , Prowler, Hornet. Eve...

The last episode of the trilogy and even the best one! 1
Throughout video game history, there have been franchises that have attained such popularity that they quickly become a household name. Take Halo for example. When the first game launched, it came out of nowhere and surprised many a gamer with it's interesting story and satisfying gameplay. The sequel, Halo 2, moved more XBoxes than any other game in Microsoft's history and very quickly became one of the top selling games of all time. Now comes Halo 3, the seemingly final chapter in the trilogy...

Halo 3 Multiplayer Review 0
Halo 3 Multiplayer Review Halo is a first person shooter series created by Bungie Studios. The series has become widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time. This review talks about the multiplayer only.At launch in September 2007 there were 10 multiplayer modes to choose from that were split up into two playlists, ranked and social. The modes varied dramatically from team deathmatch to races but mechanically they were all the same. About one year on, Bungie has expanded the amount of pl...

You would think 3 is enough, well it's not!!! 0
Halo comes back again for it's first appearance on the Xbox 360, and it's better than ever! Halo 3 has insane graphics, fantastic gameplay, and a huge variety of vehicles, weapons, and character customization. You would think 3 games is enough, but I could go for another 3 after this game! Halo 3 displays everything you could hope for from the 360. There are some pointless Live games, but that seems like the only flaw in this game. Overall, this game is one of the best games on the 360....

Couldn't think of a better way to end the best video game trilogy 0
Since the release for Halo:CE back in 2001, the Halo franchise has exploded, single handedly leading Microsoft into the big market gaming business. Now, with Halo 3, the series closing chapter and final part of a Epic trilogy, people all over are frothing at the mouth to get a hold on a copy of the game. Gameplay wise, Halo 3 still delivers the fast paced FPS shoot-em up that we have all come to know and love. But, Bungie has decided to throw the addition of a few new things into the old formul...

Halo 3 0
Halo 3 is probably the best graphically AND over-all ass kicking. Everyone knows that the ending to Halo 2 was the gayest thing ever! But Halo 3 picks up when the Master Chief was on the Forerunners ship heading towards Earth. In the beginning You jump off the ship and land in the rain forest! Now in Halo 2 what happened to the commander of the Cairo? Did he die? Did he have a heart attack? Get owned by a meteor? What the hell! But back to the game over all its good.I like the Forge mode ...

Finish the fight on home turf 0
Every console has its signature series, or that one game that becomes synonymous with the system. For the Xbox, that series is of course Halo. Nobody expected it to turn out that way, but the unsuspected successes of Halo: Combat Evolved catapulted the game universe into stardom where it stands today.Halo 2, as people look at it now, was basically a shinier version of the original game with online multiplayer capabilities. It is also home to one of the most infamous cliffhanger endings ever devi...

Halo 3 Review 0
The Halo series of games on Microsoft's, Xbox are truly a thing of wonder, with number one introducing a fantastic story and a great, however only 4 player split screen, multiplayer.Halo 2 upped the ante, bigger, badder weapons, more diverse enemies, and an absolute gem of a multiplayer mode, both online and offline.It is with no surprise then, that Halo 3 was expected to be a thing of wonder, bringing an end to the story of the Master Chief and The Covenant, and supposedly defining what Xbox Li...

How Halo 3 Should Be Played! 0
Halo 3 is a game that feels very familar which is good as the learning curve is very easy to get to grips of. there are new weapons & foes in this game but it all starts to feel familar after a few levels and difficulty starts to lag and thats me saying this i started on heroic. so my advice is to if you like a challenge and want to feel a great satisfaction once completed you should start the game on legendary it also helps once you eventually get online you wont feel mediocre like many ...

Halo 3 Is The Best Way To Finish The Fight! 0
The GoodSharp, responsive controls and excellent gameplay. Superb sound effects accompanied with terrific voice acting. The story is great and very good. The game has one of the best textures in this generation. Awesome multiplayer modes and campaign. The new Forge mode and Theater are well made. The soundtrack is just great. The BadUNSC allies don't know how to run for their lives (including yours). The rewind button in Theater mode doesn't work as you expect. The single-player experience coul...

Not Quite the Holy Savior of FPS's 0
Let us be candid here. The Halo series is Microsoft’s lifeblood for its Xbox brand. Without it, the current console war might only be Sony vs. Nintendo. Halo has been called everything, from being the revolution in the console FPS genre, to just being a vulgar term for excrement, if the men from Penny Arcade are to be believed. Regardless of what anyone says about it, Halo always sells well. Hell, Halo 3 has already broken sales records in the game industry (Even breaking some records in the cin...

Sometimes good, sometimes a disappointment 0
I have mixed views about Halo 3 to be honest. At times its been quite good, but at other times, I've disliked it a lot.First of all, Campaign mode continues right from the cliffhanger Halo 2 left us in. Master Chief lands near New Mombassa, and has to continue fighting the covenant. To avoid spoilers, I won't discuss the rest of the storyline but I will say this. Its quite disappointing compared to Halo 1 and 2.Halo 1 and 2 had a very good introduction level. The first Halo had a pretty memorabl...

A great end to the Halo Series! 0
Halo 3, the biggest game to hit in 2007, Now every 360 owned got there hands on this, but the big question was, was it worth it? Well, in my eyes, it was worth it, A story that satisfied, yet left it wide open to a sequel, and the multplayer that will last you for months. The story continues right after Halo 2, so it fits very well, in fact, the story is great, cause it sucks you in, but to understand it, you need to go back and play the originals, The story in the end though might leave you wa...

Halo 3 0
Writing a review for Halo 3 feels like I’m just echoing 360 fanboy rants over the internet. I became a fan of the first Halo after it came with a special edition Xbox and I haven’t really looked back. I’ve never understood the point of view that it’s just an average shooter. Using that logic everything is an average shooter. Halo certainly feels like nothing else. And it definitely doesn’t look like anything else. Quite honestly, it’s very much the opposite of what I’d call an average shooter. ...

Halo 3 is the third and final game in the halo trilogy. The multiplayer has finally been balanced enough where everyone can compete in a match and not be completely raped or blown away. the maps may not be as good as Halo 2, but the the gametypes ,playlists and overall matchmaking and ranking is it its overall peak for online gaming. the Single player is the same, fighting covenant in repeat enviroments. Overall though worth it and it looks great and Bungie updates the multiplayer every months w...

Halo 3. This game by far is over hyped. The only reason it is liked so much is for it's storyline and Prequels, the MP on the other hand, is horrible.SinglePlayerPros Good storyline, deep in detail. A good 10 hours of play, for the typical gamer. Cons Doesn't give much of a backstory for MasterChief.

Halo 3 is a must-buy for any 360 owner. 0
Halo 3 in it's very glory is a highly addicting and fun game. The campaign consists of 10 (or so) levels, each is unique and design brilliantly. You can play alone, or with three other people, either locally or online. Ofcourse, it's more fun to play with other people. In campaign, you get to play as Master Chief, and you basicly shoot aliens. But it's really, really, really fun. The only thing I can really complain about is the horrible weapons design, you don't even know what the weapon does b...

Halo 3 4
When I first found Halo: Combat Evolved all those lovely years ago, I was young and foolish and considered it to be the best first person shooter since Half Life. A few years later Halo 2 came out, and I awaited it again with anticipation and when I finally played it, I finished it, played multiplayer with my friends for a while, and then finally put the controller down and returned to Halo: Combat Evolved. The problem with Halo 2 is that it took the same storyline as the first Halo and editte...

Halo: Combat evolved brought console shooters a revolutionary control scheme and shooting mechanics, and a surprisingly good story. Halo 2 brought us a new revolution, online play, along with fantastic graphics and a solid continuation of the storyline despite a cliffhanger. Now, we pick up where that cliffhanger left off, and I'm glad to say its everything Halo fans were hoping it would be.Halo 3 isn't as graphically groundbreaking as Halo2, but its still rather impressive. All the character mo...

Halo 3, Halo 3, Halo3. Just when the name is brought up people begin to smile.Campaign: Sure many can complain about the lack of details in the single player, but to be perfectly honest, who gives a shit. The single player experience is epic. I mean yeah sure it leaves you wanting more, but isn't that the purpose of these games. I never did play any of the previous Halo games so everything being said in the dialogue mad about as much sense as a blind kid in a batting cage. All I can tell you is...

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 fr...

If I had to rank the 3 Halo's, here'd be my ordering: 1. Halo 3 2. Halo: Combat Evolved 3. Halo 2 Halo: CE was Bungie's original masterpiece that pushed the console FPS genre to new heights by refining game mechanics and creating an immersive sci-fi world. Halo 2 was a solid follow-up, but given the limitations of the original Xbox and certain level design choices, failed to surpass its predecessor. Why do I think Halo 3 is better than either of its predecessors? It's hard to put my finger on...

Note: Sorry if this seems a bit incomplete or stupid, but I wrote this one for my school newspaper, too. I have to appeal to the audience, so it obviously isn't what people on GiantBomb probably find the most awesome. I wanted to get some of my thoughts up on the site, though, so here it is: Now, this may come off a bit biased because I am to HALO fans what HALO fans are to normal people. This HALO game, though, is not so much about Master Chief unloading justice into a xenophobic alien species ...

The Halo series has always been a mixed bag, in my opinion. Been a Halo fan from day one, OG halo on launch xbox. Love the story, loved the first game, had lots of uber-nerd "halo parties" with my buds playing some LAN multiplayer. Was super excited for the second game, and then super let down in a lot of ways. Still though, played a lot of multiplayer. My feelings about Halo 3 are similar to Halo 2. The multiplayer is so frustrating because in so many ways it's awesome. In other ways, it...

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...

All trilogys are epics, aren't they? Look at some of the best trilogys in the history of the media. Lord of the Rings, The Godfather, Star Wars (The REAL ones), and even other games, like Metroid Prime, have nitched into something of a saga that has been created for the media. Maybe good things just come in 3's. Who knows? It seems like this trend is never going to break. And to an extent, it doesn't break with Halo. The third chapter in the somewhat overrated series is stronger than Halo ...

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. ...

Halo 3 is without a doubt the most highly anticipated videogames in history. When I reached the end of Halo 2 and Master Chief says he is going to end the fight then the game went off, I just wanted to punch a hole in the screen because I wanted to play on so much. Yeah Halo 2 wasn't as good as Halo, but it was still a brilliant game. So is Halo 3 better then the first two........ no.Even though the first Halo game made less sense then the other two in regards to you don't know too much of what...
