1 out of 5 stars Ho Hum Game in an Average Franchise   October 4, 2007

Hype is about all that this game has going for it. I consider this game on par with the Zune player. It works and does what you think it does but is it worth the money or fantastic? No. Not at all.

I would pass on this and consider that the whole proposition is a scam. You overpay for a game with crappy graphics (I mean, have you seen the character models) and then you have to pay $5 dollars to play with these rude clowns who will personally attack you if you don't swear by it.

It just makes the whole thing that much more useless. Everyone knows that the Xbox360 will be abandoned like Xbox in a year or so and personally, I'm mad too that I drank the Kool-Aid but then again, I also bought a first generation iPod and a new one this year. So goes the expendable income story.

Don't believe hype. You can buy people's attention spans in the same way that MS bought market share in the gaming industry. Seriously, there's nothing to see here. Move along.



1 out of 5 stars The future of gaming - mass marketed, overhyped garbage...   October 13, 2007

Halo 3 is one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. These are gamecube graphics at best. The controls are painfully stiff and unresponsive. The levels are bland and empty. The "story" is nonexistent. The voice acting is pitiful, considering how much money was put into the game. I really believe about five or six times as much money was put into advertising than the game itself. Did I mention the nonmusic music? As a FPS, Halo 3 has NOTHING to offer. Turok: Evolution is superior in every way, even the ancient-by-today's-standards Goldeneye 007 is vastly superior. Even the hype is fake - Microsoft bought the hype for this piece of garbage. Notice that my review doesn't even mention why 99% of the people that bought it did, the multiplayer. MP is an aftertought and not something to take into account when rating a video game.


4 out of 5 stars Overdone hype but awsome game.   September 25, 2007

Personally all this hype was blown out of proportion. All done for more marketing sales to make Microsoft very happy of course and to squeeze every last dime out of Halo fans by creating three types of editions. I was there for the midnight release and played Halo3 for a good two and half hours until I crashed out on my couch. I'll break this review down into a few cat orgies.

Gameplay: The game to me has improved on many levels. With new enemies with better AI, they don't just stand there waiting to get killed. Along with the same layout has Halo 1&2, 3 is pretty much the same (point, shoot, cover), but you have more areas to get creative with new content. Halo3 gameplay was given a polished look and finish and even though it can feel old at times, it's really all about finishing the fight and finding out the storyline.

Graphics: I was quit surprised to see how clean and detailed the graphics were on my regular TV. Bungie really went to attention to detail and left nothing out. I have a 24' HDTV but with no speakers so I have to resort to my older TV, but if Halo3 looks as good as it does on regular, I can only image what it would look like HD.

New Content: Who doesn't like new content? Halo3 has more to offer then ever. There is new equipment to help you defeat your foes when it gets rough. New guns, new fighting tactics, its awesome.

Overall: I gave this 4 stars out of 5 because the gameplay feels the same in certain parts of the game, but with the graphics and new content I can easily get over it. Only reason why I got an Xbox 360 was for Halo3, since I found out there was no plans to start working on a PC version of Halo and I didn't want to wait long to play.

Advice: Don't play Halo 3 until you played Halo 1&2, get familar with the storyline and controls, otherwise this game won't be "the hype" you expected. Remember, when Halo first came out, there was mixed reviews, playing Halo 3 first is no exception.

I didn't like anything about this game. Looks exactly like halo on old xbox. Nothing compared to the new games on 360.

This is perhaps the most over hyped game ever. Same old stuff as Halo and Halo 2. I don't know why people fall into the traps laid by microsoft to increase their hardware sales. I played this game the same day I got it and I must say that it is very short. 8 hours the most. The graphics are decent, but not as good as other games on the 360. Multiplayer sucks.........So if you want to save 60 bucks, stick to your old Halos......
