Halo 3

Seriously Overhyped

User Rating: 8 | Halo 3 X360

Halo 3 marks the debut of the celebrated franchise on the 360. Was it worth the wait? No. The single player campaign which continues the adventures of MasterChief as he battles the Covenant to try and stop the Ark and end of humanity is surprisingly short.

Sure the game looks pretty, taking the player to locations such as East Africa. The new weapons and vehicles play well and the focus on the brutes as the main enemy this time around is pretty cool.

Halo 3 sounds great with a subtle score running in each of the levels, each weapon and character sounds like they should. The cutscenes look great, too.

Despite the fact that there is a fair amount of multiplayer options, achievements et al, replayability is seriously detracted by the length of the game.

Buy this if you're a fan, rent if you want to see what the hype was about.

  Not quite as good as it was hyped up to be, but a good waste of 60 bucks. It is definitely a good game, so all you people that are calling it perfect don't get mad, but based on all the hype and CONSTANT advertisements, ... Read Full Review
