Why is the U.S the only country excited about this game coming out, does halo flop in other countrys? Halo3 gots superbowl commericals, soda cans, 5 different console accsesories, its own custom console,
and streets are being closed down in NY. Why cant Microsoft waste the same ammount of money on hyping this game in Europe, or the Asian countrys? I guess a halo game to the U.S is like
a new Final Fantasy in Japan.

Does Halo3 even have to be a good game? no it doesnt, we know for a fact casuals dont care about story or gameplay, just like madden, its the same game every year and still sells millions of copies. "its teh halo"

1. Halo 3 will probably sell like crazy in Europe and elsewhere in the world.
2. The games come out every 3 years, obviously indicating that you likely haven't played the other two very much.
3. It doesn't have to be a good game to sell like crazy, but wouldn't you know it that it ends up being great anyway. Who would have thunk it?
Not good arguments.

I think Madden or any other American Football game would be a better example for an America's game. They don't even release them at least in my part of Europe.

I hope halo will be enough to pry me away from my forza addiction.... Halo is kinda weird though. Its nothing realy innovative in the gameplay, But its just sooooooo darn fun. Ive never had as much fun in a shooter than halo.

Halo is a cultural phenomenon in the USA, much like Final Fantasy is in Japan. The fact that Halo 3, or the Halo series for that matter are GREAT games on their own merit make it's immense popularity tolerable IMO.

So?  Let us have our fun.  We've been waiting 3 years for this.  When Gran Turismo 5 comes out, if you want to line up at midnight, hey, I'll come out too.

Thats a stereotype.

...based in relative truth

no, no, ok yes, but really... Why can't it be both? Why can't a game be popular only in America but also be a good game?
