Customer Ratings & Reviews

Halo3 is fun, never gets old like a-lot of other games! A MAJOR improvment from halo 2. Fantastic graphics, a great varioty of weapons, maps, misions, and game types. There is twenty maps including four map packs! (two of which are free). You can even go into theatre mode and take pic's and videos of your previous games. Overall rating 10/10.

Halo 3 sold how many copies?! That's no suprise... If you've played the first two, you can only imagine how great this one is. Wether you're a hardcore, book-readin' fan or just a weekend warrior, this game has it all. The story has you were you left off, no duh! Crash landing back down to earth to battle the covenant. And of course, good ole' Sargent Johnson is back to kick you into gear if you can't seem to remember which button the R trigger is. The story will keep preoccupied long enough to make your boss wonder if you caught some wierd disease like yellow fever or rhinovirus (Common Cold); leaving you with plenty of time to find all the games hidden skulls and enable the "grunt B-Day party" cheat (Think "Pop Goes The Weasle" and Confetti). The biggest and best new add-on to the game is the 4 player co-op they added. The 2 previous games allowed for only two player split screen co-op. Now, you can play online with your friends and zip through the story getting achievments, lickety split. Any Halo fans who'ce played the first one will recognize that the Assult Rifle is back and yes, it has been modified (Not sure if it's for better or worse). It has a small clip size and is more accurate but, is seemingly less satisfying of a kill. Adding new weapons like a "Spartan Laser" and a "Flamethrower" as well as many new brute weapons and vehicals make the game even more enjoyable. This next upgrade has changed the control scheme dramtically; The X button (Blue Skittle) is no longer used to reload. You push it and an Item is used (Bubble Shield, Radar Jammer, Shield Damage Stuff, etc). To reload you now have to use one of the Xbox 360's handy-dandy bumper triggers. This adds a new element to the multi-player; GOD BERRY KING OF THE JUICE! The Multi-player has one of the best features in next-gen games... Custom Levels Creation (AKA: FORGE). You can delete almost every in game weapons, spawn point and objects by the press of your Y button. Although this adds to being a more diverese set of levels it is also limited by far. Compared to Far Cry's complete terrian and object/spawn/everything else editor, Halo comes up short. But hey, we've lived with it in the first two right? Wrong! At least the first two games had good multi-player maps... HALO 3 HAS NO NEW BLOOD GULCH!!! Well, they do, but It's named differently and is morphed and beaten out of shape. Like me... When you look at "Hang Em' High" in Halo 1 or "Lockout" in Halo 2, as low standerd level design as they were, we loved them. The Halo 3 maps lack a certain something that the first two games had. Nothing shooting stuff can't fix. Many new online party features and a great matchmaking system leave this game smokeing on top of a heaping pile of game goodness.

Something about shooters just works so well for a co-op campaign. Halo never had an interesting world or story to tell, in my opinion, which is just as well since they worked on polishing the multiplayer to a pretty good shine. Sitting on the same couch blasting your friends (because paying to play a game online is a waste of money) is a lot of fun, and even better is teaming up with them to mow down the bad guys. An improvement over the original games, but still not good enough to warrant all of the hype that the series receives. You can get just as good of an experience from any number of other shooters on the market. For my money, Borderlands is a better series and more worthwhile than Halo.

If you were to choose just one Halo this was the best one to choose. More action and keeps you engaged. Little difficult for younger crowd.

I have the Xbox one. I should have just bought the master chief collection. I didn't realize that was an option. But the game is still fun

I'm not a Halo expert so I don't nitpick all of the same issues that some others do. For me it is just a fun game.

This is mine and my husbands all time favorite halo. Now we are sharing it with the nephews

Great game to end a fantastic trilogy! Immersive storyline yet fairly fast paced.
