Halo 3 seems to be an example of a game being greater than the sum of its parts. I thought the campaign flowed incredibly well, despite some underwhelming sections. The controls were tight, the gameplay was fun and often very intense. The online is one of few that I actually bothered to play for any considerable length of time. Playing co-op with two of my friends on Live was a great experience as well.
Considering its pedigree I don't doubt it was overhyped by a good number of people. But that doesn't change the fact it is an all-around solid game.

Well Said. Halo 3 is the most polished game I have ever seen. Everything works just like its supposed to. The matchmaking is blazing fast, and a huge number of people play it.
The "Sandbox" of elements in Halo is just amazing too. Think of CoD4 and how nothing moves or changes except the cars that blow up. Wow, big deal. In Halo 3 there is way more stuff going on at once. First of all there is all of the respawning weapons, powerups, fusion coils, etc... Everything that you think can move, moves. It is just so much more interesting than all of the other games. There is way more stuff to do.
Forge, and theater mode make even more things to do. There are like endless maps that are going to be made. The fileshare system makes every map easilyaccessiblewith amazing gametype options. Tons of custom games. There is just way more to do in Halo than any other game.
