Halo 3

Delivers!

User Rating: 9 | Halo 3 X360

By medwayman | Review Date: February 5, 2008

Normally I'm a PC gamer. I splurged on an XBox back in the day and a room mate and I played the hec out of Halo 1. Halo 2 never caught my eye. So when I got a 360 for a birthday, I decided to take a shot at Halo 3

Am I ever glad I did! While it doens't do anything ground breaking compared to Halo 1, it doesn't lose an ounce of the Halo feel and just ramps up the energy. Some things I loved about this game...
- Way, way, way more impressive graphics
- Skulls. Nice touch!
- Absolutely brilliant level design
- Hilarious color commentary from enemies
- Shotgunning a jetpacking Brute and watching the explosion carry him off into the distance.
- Deployable shields, flares, regenerators, etc.
- Unlockable armors (the only thing drawing me to XBox live)
- New multiplayer game mode
- Multitude of "oh snap" moments in story mode.
- Forge

It wasn't THAT groundbreaking, so I can't give it a 10, and the music/ambient sounds are WAY louder than the dialogue so that hurts the bottom line too. Overall though, well worth the money.

  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
