well i had given the game an 8.5 but i knocked on gamespot in doing so and got a warning and my review was deleted

User Rating: 8 | Halo 3 X360
"It's not a failure by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a great example of a developer and a series refusing to grow and change with the times. There's almost nothing here that I didn't play five years ago in the first Halo, it's just a little more visually polished. It's a good game to be sure, but not a great one, and by no means is it the genre-defining experience that we were promised. " written by Daniel Weissenberger
Prolly the most accurate paragraph i have read yet about this game.

So thanks to game spot i will lower the score by 0.5 it wasn't to hard of a knock but obviously it was disproved of by an administrator. Like i said in my first review this is a great game i am not sold that its an editor choice worthy but seeing as how it has such a following i guess it can merit a 9.5. Their i worded my review differently maybe thats less offensive.

The sound to me is leaving something to be desired. Good voice acting, but it just doesn't have the crisp booms i like to hear out of my gun. It does just its overpowered a bit by other noises going on.

The visuals are good but they are not as good as other games on the console. They don't live up to the specs. games like bioshock are better visually but in no way do the graphics hinder the gameplay i mean if the game looked identical to its xbox counterparts i would still think its a great game....

The gameplay itself in single player still leaves something to be desired the game is short and easy. Heroic makes the game a bit tougher and legendary even more so but even though i haven't found it to take very long on the tougher modes either. 4 player coop does improve the campaign mode though it can make it even easier. The multiplayer is still the multiplayer it is a little busy on their early on and i have found it hard to get on to the same team as much friends and cousins when i am playing with them but its still a great mutliplayer. Not especially my style but its still Halo and it will be popular. Umm i hope i don't offend anyone with this review i don't think it should sorry for having ot leave out more detailed statements that might actually help people out but i am being more careful in this review.
