I went to BigBadButters house after school today with the promise of being with him when he bought skate. for his ps3, and his brother bought Halo 3 After waiting for his brother to get home from complications at Wal-Mart, we started up the game, and tested if it was worth the 9.8/9.5 it was labeled by the 2 reviews we saw. We played online with guests, and immediatly noticed that the controls were different, and got very annoyed pressing B triggers for commands that Halo 2 used X for. We we're very annoyed our first couple of games cause it was so hard to break the habit from Halo 2.
Then we started getting used to the controls, and it got less annoying, but we found the game to be terrible and I was about to suggest turning it off to go play skate. when we were given our first VIP match. Suddenly the game got a whole lot better. VIP is a match where you are paired in a 2-person team against 3 other teams. 1 person in your group is the VIP, and it is the goal of the other team to kill your VIP. We were amazing at it, and played a couple of rounds.Then we got an 8-player, 4-team slayer match. This alone justified my staying at his house til 10 playing mindless shooting games. By this time it had become second nature to use the 360 controls instead of X-Box controls, and we were running through smoothly getting headshots and blowing stuff up. BigBadButters himself got an incredible no-scope headshot picking someone out of the air, which we had fun watching in the video we made afterwards. We started owning, and getting owned, and played this one incredible match that alone justifies the game in my eyes.
From what I played...
Was it worth the 9.8 given from GT? Absolutely not.
Was it worth the 9.5 given to it by GS? No.
It was deserving, however, of a SOLID 9.0, once you're used to the controls, and you play a lag free match. I think this should be a title owned by absolutely everyone with a 360. If you don't have it, you don't deserve the system.
