I said a couple of days ago that based on the hype of Halo 3, if it scores a 9.5 or lower it will be a flop. After reading the review from IGN it seems this game has flopped. All the hype centered around the whole "Finish The Fight" slogan, which obviously reffered to the Campaign/Story mode, a campaign mode that IGN have bashed for being too short and having an overall confusing story. Now if the selling point of the game is the and story (as far as the media hype goes), and the story pretty much sucks, then the game pretty much flops.
Another thing that was crticised was the graphics. They really don't show off the power of the 360 like Halo 1 and 2 did for the original XBOX. This looks just like Halo 2 in HD with some fancier effects.
Of course the rest of the game was rated decently when it comes to overall gameplay, multiplayer, extra content, etc but I think all the Fanboys will have to admit that this turned out to be another Halo 2.
