This is by far the best in the series, the graphic are amazing. The single player campain is a the best so far. The story is well written and the audio is hilarious.

Halo 3 is a great game. It has great graphics and a good story line; however, the online mode is very frustrating, especially big team slayer, as well as legendary mode.

The team at Bungie has really stepped it up in this third installment of Halo without trying to overdo it. The campaign mode is fun and made even more so by allowing online co-op. You can actually play the campaign with friends over the Internet. Multiplayer is a blast too. But Bungie has made it more fun by adding the Theater mode. This is where you can watch back any of your gaming sessions, both campaign and multiplayer. You can follow yourself, other players, or even detach the camera and free roam the map. It adds hours and hours more fun to the game. And you can even learn from your mistakes.

Plain and simple this game is the greatest halo game ever. It blows the last two games out of the water. This game is not just for kids either. Ive been playing with adults online too, so you know its a great game if your dad or mom is playing it!! There is over 1 million people online to this day. Not to mention the 4 person co-op which is very fun. In Halo 3 there is many more options to choose from like costamization of your armor, the ranks are different, and many more achievements to get. Get your copy of Halo 3 today and if you dont have a 360 trust me its worth buying one for this game!

This game was really great, but was really easy. There weren't enough challenging parts to it. I did really like this game, and was by far the best Halo game yet.

A solid title

Halo 3 is an extremely solid title and I'm sure most would say that it's the greatest multiplayer title out to date, but Halo 3 is extremely repetitive which some could say about most shooters, but that's just my opinion. The maps in this installment of the Halo series are a serious dissappointment in comparison to the maps in Halo 2 or even the first Halo. some are hugely successful such as Higher Ground and Valhalla, but overall the maps leave something to be desired. Some additions were made that I absolutely love such as the mongoose and the new shiled system but overall this game was a step down from Halo 2.

nothing new

I found that Halo 3 is terrible in campaign mode. The story is awful, the scenes are horrendous and the characters laughable. One could hardly call the game engaging. The graphics in this game are decent, but not something that one would expect from a flagship product (Gears of War has better graphics). Multi player is fun, however get old after a while, as this is just the same old Halo as before.

Halo 3 beta was pretty decent. Although the final version of this game will be better than what the beta was. It's called a beta so they can make the final tweaks. If you enjoyed halo 1 or 2 in the least bit then you will want this game. There will be a 3day free trial period for those without an xbox live gold subscription so they can try out all the cool options. 4 player online co-op and edit your own maps to play! Doesn't get better than that in a fps.

this game is good, but it deffinatly didn't live up to all the hype everyone way giving it. The story line started slow and was short, most people beat it in 1 day. The halo 1 storyline was the best to my opinion. It was long and challenging without the diffeclty setting. They did change some things around and i liked how they put in the removable turrets. Online still has only 16 players. Some things don't make sence either like the short clip at the very very end (won't say what it is just in case people didn't beat or get it yet) but over all its a good game.

another halo game
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
let me first say this is a great game and a nice sequel to halo 2. if you're familiar with the storyline and you're looking for conclusion here you'll be ... somewhat satsified.
as for gameplay and graphics, that's another matter.
the gameplay is standard halo fare, you have a few new weapons and vehicles, as well as a few new abilities as well. the chief can now rip turrets off of their mounts making mobile destruction via turret possible. you can also deploy equipment now, such as shields, grav lifts, flares, auto turrets, mines, etc. shields can be helpful in a pinch, but most of the other goodies aren't that impressive.
halo 3 still suffers from some of the flaws of the previous entries in the series. mainly repetitive level design in campaign and goofy, yet omniscient, enemies. on the easier levels enemies often know where you are without having to resort to seeing or hearing you, this is lame. on legendary enemies always know where you are, even without having seen you, and "harder difficulty" just means more of them.
graphically the game looks like halo 2 with a better framerate. get up close to any textured object and the ugliness quickly reveals itself. when we have games that look as good as gears, and now the much cooler call of duty 4, this game just doesn't hold up. it's definitely a step up from halo 2, but it's a short step.
final thoughts:
if you're a halo fan then you've probably already bought this and are deeply in love with it. if you're not, then sadly halo 3 doesn't have the power to make you a believer. the single player campaign offers a modest amount of fun, particularly if you're taking on legendary with some buddies online, but if you didn't care for halo before not enough has changed to make you love it now.
bottom line: a decent game with many rough edges, but if you love halo then you'll certainly be loving this.

For anyone who has played through the first 2 halo games, this one is a must buy. The story gets a little wierd towards the end, but then again its a game about inter-galactic war between humanity and fanatically religious aliens, so i guess wierd is good. the graphics are overall very solid, there are just a few cut scenes where a character will clip into another character or weapon which totally ruins the realism. Controlling your character, as in all previous games, is nothing short of stellar. I recommend to anyone who enjoys shooters. Best played with a friend.
