Synopsis

Synopsis
The Covenant rules the Earth — the Flood has been unleashed — and the fate of life everywhere hangs in the balance. Master Chief, a genetically engineered super soldier, is the last chance for humanity's survival. Stowed away on a Forerunner ship, he rushes back to Earth to defeat the Covenant once and for all. Hopelessly outnumbered, his outlook is bleak. But when you are bred for battle, you fight past the breaking point and bow to no one. It's all been building to this — a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Help this incredible hero stop the Covenant, destroy the Flood and save the lives of every person on the planet.

The third chapter in the critically acclaimed franchise features insane battles with an arsenal of alien and human weaponry. Discover all-new armaments and characters as you fight to the finish. You can even play online with Xbox Live and battle in pulse-pounding multiplayer action.

Finish the fight

Posted by: from on 02/23/2013This is an excellent game. In HALO 3, the Covenant have taken over Earth and the Elites have turned against the Prophets. It's up to the Master Cheif to bring an end to the war between Earth and the Covenant and to save Humanity from extinction. The story is well thoguth out and well executed. HALO still has the best developed story of any FPS. The HD graphics look great. Lots of detail and fluid animation. Gameplay is top notch, the controls work very well and the action is fast and furious. The vehicle controls work very well. The music is also of very high quality. This is a great game all around, but not as great as it's predecessors, nor is it as great as HALO 4 or HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary. It's an outstanding game, it's just in a franchise that is of extreme high quality and it's hard not to compare it to the rest of the series. A weak HALO is still far better than most series at their strongest. I recommedn this game to fans of sci-fi and action, as well as anyone who has an XBOX 360. If you're looking for a solid FPS with lots of action, this is a great game to get. And you can't beat the 'Platinum Hits' price.

Good game
5
Posted by: from Maryland on 05/30/2012A good game to get if you're a fan, the campaign is fun and adds some new things that aren't in prior halos. Guns are underpowered in my opinion but it's made up for in the improved AI all around and because they added new flood forms and storyline. I would buy again/recommend it.

Halo 3: the game Microsoft screwed up disc wise
4
Posted by: from Mount Vernon, Ny on 03/17/2011I've been a big fan of The Chief for a few years and I started off with Halo 1 then went to Halo 2 and finally could complete my experience with The Chief with Halo 3. When I first got it; I tried it on my 360 slim; It wouldn't work right out of the case....so I went back and got another copy THAT copy wouldn't work. It's also great being played on a HDTV. The color was intense. If there is an upcoming Halo 4: PLEASE let it be about what happened to the Chief and his getting back home

As good as the rest!

Posted by: from Chantilly, VA on 03/03/2011While Halo has always been awesome, Halo 3 takes it to the next level. But if you're interested in a better Halo game purchase Reach. Better yet buy them both and complete your collection (if you already have 1 & 2). But if you have never played Halo or Halo 2, don't play this until you have played and finished them, they are on the same timeline and in sequential order, whereas Reach is kind of a prequel.
