Customers are saying

Customers highly value the multiplayer, graphics, and weapons in Halo 3 Platinum Hits, with many praising the exciting online battles and impressive visuals. The story and maps also receive positive feedback, while the Forge mode is considered a standout feature by some players. However, some find the campaign mode to be too short and easy, suggesting a lack of challenge for some players. Overall, the game's strengths lie in its multiplayer and customization options, though improvements to the campaign's length and difficulty could enhance the experience.

    Greatest Game Ever!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I absolutely love this game and would recommend this game to any Xbox 360 owner. The campaign may be short and a bit unsatisfying but searching for skulls, scoring points on how well you do, and cooperative play can make it very exciting. Also, the multiplayer is great! I noticed a difference between Halo 2's multiplayer and Halo 3's. Halo 3's is better in my opinion. The only problem I've been having with the multiplayer is that when I hit someone before they hit me and we both have about the same damage, I will die first. Many players have experienced this. It may be frustrating but everything else in the game makes up for it! If you have an Xbox 360 AND Xbox Live, get this game! Your skill doesn't matter because there's always people who are at your skill that you can play against online. This game is great for anyone who has ever enjoyed a First-Person Shooter.

    halo 3

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ive been playing this game for about 3 days. I like it and it is so addicting. But it is just like the other 2 halos. ther us nothing special about this game. I guess it has a good sotry line but i dont even like the new levels they made. The old levels were twice as good as these. This game is very over rated. Ide saw the only cool part is the custom game thingy. I gues the new weapons are cool but still could hav been carryed out a little more. I was expecting a lot more out of this game. Sorry guys im sure there is ganna be a lot of people disagreeing with me but i am just saying what is true.

    Halo 3 Lives Up to Expectations!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well, Halo 3 certainly lived up to its expectations in my opinion!!! Great game!!! Graphics are amazing!!! Only negative is that campaign is short and easy, but if you are mainly a Halo "Live" player like myself, then this shouldn't matter to you at all.

    I haven't really ever played Halo till i heard about Halo 3. I went out and got me a copy and started playing it. The great thing about it is the multiplayer campaign mode. It allows you two play with 3 others to beat the game. The stages and guns rock. Have fun...

    Jump on the Hype Train!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Easily one of the most anticipated games this year, Halo 3 is unlikely to disappoint any harcore gamer's need for some Master Chief action. With Microsoft's avd marketing, no gamer should miss out on the final installment in the Halo trilogy. This is a no brainer!

    This game is really great, but if you do not have XBox Live, then it is just a 3-Day Rental Game, but if you do have LIVE, Online Matchmaking and Multiplayer brings you into a new World of Online Gaming.

    Halo 3 is the next best game to hit XBOX 360. Hundreds of hours of playtime are offered for only 60$. People will be playing this over XBOX Live for years to come because of the exceptional features bungie has provided. Halo 3 is the best FPS to date.

    The Game Is Not Out Yet!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Don't waste your time reading reviews until the game actually comes out. If you would like to know if you should invest money in to this product I would say yes but, I would also say rent the first and or only the second games first. You can not judge the series by the first game because the gameplay in Halo 3 is more like Halo 2 rather then Halo 1. (I still recamend 1 though it is one of the best games ever) If you already own Halo 1 and/or 2 and like them in the least bit, I would get halo 3. I have had the chance to play the beta-version already through the game crackdown. I love what they have done to the game such as a new aray of weapons,gernades,and maps.(this is to say the bare minimum remember it was only a demo) In a wrap up I would say get one while you can because it is projected to be the biggest game release of all-time!

    What's New? NOTHING!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you have any previous version of Halo don't waste your money on Halo 3 unless you simply are one of those people who have to have a copy of everything in a series. If you've already read other reviews you probably already know not to buy the "Limited" edition of the game as the packaging is the worst excuse for design and will likely gaurantee that your disk will be severely scratched and possibly unplayable. Serious people- are we gamers really so sususceptible to the hype? Yes, I preordered my copy (though that was not necessary as I don't know of any stores in my community that haven't kept it in stock since the release date) because I was/am a big Halo fan. Does Halo 3 live up to the hype? Not even close. Nothing new (ok you get to drive a 4-wheeler) and the brutes being the main apponents is such a dissapointment as they offer no real challenge compared to the Elites which are far more threatening and interesting to battle. Even the Jackels have lost their skills and are really no more a threat than the little silly sounding grunts. Nothing special with weapon improvements, no new, improved moves or abilities and the graphics are no better than the previous Halo versions (unless you like to watch a bush shake as a character brushes against it). Like others, I couldn't wait to get Halo 3 in my new Xbox 360 Elite. Although I bout the 360 and a new HD TV a few weeks prior to the Halo 3 release, I truly decided to go ahead and spend the $ because Halo 3 was coming out. I'm thankful there are other games. Soon after putting the game in and sitting down with high expectations I found my mood sinking with dissapointment. Not that Halo 3 isn't a good game; it's just that there is nothing improved at all over previous versions (and if anything it is less fun). It did get my blood up for Halo again though and while I haven't finished Halo 3, I have been playing Halo 2 again (and physically ducking and shifting in my chair as I battle an Elite- a reaction Halo 3 hasn't come close to causing). Halo 3 hasn't even been back in my console since 9/27/07. Halo and Halo 2 are much better games, much more challenging and the Elite are far more interesting, challenging, and intense in battle than are the Brutes. Halo 3 has given a whole new meaning to the saying "Two is company and three is a crowd". My copy is taking up space in my case. As a result of it's being the number 3 that makes up my crowd, I gave it 3 stars. Halo and Halo 2 still rate 5 stars in my book.

    This is really a terrific game. The multiplayer gaming is what you buy this game for. The single player campaign is short and not very well thought out near the end, but over all still immensely satisfying. Docked one star for single player campaign mode.

    The game play is great, one of the best games on the 360 to date. the only problem is that some games will freeze for some reason at certain points. a lot of people have this issue with the game so keep your receipt incase the game does it to your system.

    Halo 3 is the best first person shooter I have ever owned and probably every will. The game flows well and online play is very competitive and challenging. Best part of game is the customization of character and freedom with voice selections.

    this game finishes all storys started in the previous games. It also uses all of the Xbox 360's components to make you feel like you are in the game with great audio and visual. The new weapons and vehicles are a great addition to the game.

    Halo 3 is pretty cool. The single player story mode is not all that hard, but the story itself is good. My favorite feature of the game is the online multiplayer, because so many people play it. Over all the game is good with excelent graphics.

    finish the fight...?

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This game is the main reason why I bought the Xbox360, despite it being overrated. I was not in a rush to buy the game, because I thought I was going to play nonstop. Alas, the moment of truth has arrived. Unfortunately, it was not as great as I thought. The game turned out to be a polished version of Halo 2. It features a couple new weapons, and the button control is slightly different. I bought the game, mainly, to play the campaign (to "finish the fight"). From the looks of it, I see a possibility for Halo 4, but we'll see when the time comes. Online multiplayer is decent. It has new maps, and character customization. Other than these... enjoy what you have enjoyed in Halo 2.

    The gameplay for halo 3 is unbeliveable. Everything seems so real. The physics are one of the best ever, and the scenery is amazing. Whether you are winning online, of just looking at the scenery, you'll be proud you bought this game.
