I followed the hype and it was okay...nothing more

After having played HALO 1 and 2, number 3 should have been the armageddon of the trilogy...and sadly, it did not work out the way that many people thought, or at least, I did.
The game itself is okay, nothing more. Graphics are outstanding, nice range of weapons, yet it is basically a linear FPS. What I really dislike is the various times 'back tracking' through levels. I guess that close to 50% of the game consists of playing the 'same level' over again, with new enemies and new goals. Yet, you're going through the same environment. Challenging? Not really, it can be, and not really attractively made from a design point of view. Also, these irritating voice-overs in especially 'Rampant' and 'The Running Man' will become very irritating and at those points, you wish you could press the fast forward button. Bungie has dissapointed me here tremendously.
Transportation controls are sluggish at some point, but funcion well. Nice break from the running and jumping.
Overall, if you like a FPS, it is nice, you come sometimes into situations, where you have to know your weapons and which would work the best on which enemy. |

Decent game

This is a decent game and a natural progression from Halo 2. The online co-op campaign mode is a great addition but lets face it the main highlight of Halo is the matchmaking and the only down side to this is the map selection which I dont feel is as strong as in Halo2 but the maps look much better just dont seem to play quite as well. But even still well worth buying. |

Don't Bother
(June 21, 2008) |

I don't normally go to the effort of reviwing games but I felt such disappointment with this game that I felt I should review it.
Firstly the graphics are very bad, considering what the console is capable of (i.e. gears of war is a good example) what they have created looks like a child drew it.
Secondly the weapons are useless, I used to love the other halos but in Halo 3 all the weapons are good for is clubs, which brings me to my final point and biggest let down.
The multiplayer, is mind numbingly boring, the player that wins is the one who finds the biggest gun, or throws the most grenades it has no tactics to it and requires no skill to win. Also the matchmaking feature is a joke, I was never pitted against people of the same skill level it seemed to just find the first people available to start a game, and offered no variety in the levels it picked.
Overall this game is a huge let down and a complete waste of time and money. |

Disappointing

I found this game didn't live up to the hype and would reccomend another game such as Assasins Creed or GTA4 |
