 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.

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

What the hell happened here? No, no, really. What the hell happened? I really do wonder if alot of people have looked past it's glossy coating, or even played Halo since it's very first incarnation.
Halo 1: A refreshing a varied sci-fi shooter that incorperated some of the best driving physics to grace a game, a cool modern hero that rivaled Duke Nukem and Solid Snake of the 90's. Cheesy, but wonderfully so. The singleplayer kept strictly to the point at all times, everything stuck to the plot, and set pieces were played out with impressive AI. How many titles had aliens who hid behind rocks, pelted you with grenades and used force shields so convincingly as they confidently shot from behind their own self assured safty? Not to mention the marines and grunts screaming and shouting some witty banter.
Sure, the multiplayer wasn't as balanced as it could have been (The pistol, anyone?) But people still play it TO THIS DAY.
Halo 2: Alot of fans had a few problems with this one, saying it wasn't as epic as the first. I disagreed at frist, agreed qietly over time, and enjoyed it evermore as it aged. The plot was a little looser, and the set peices weren't so impressive or the elements so compelling (Sneaking in to kill snoring grunts was fun and hillarious in Halo 1, but twice over?) The pistol suddenly went from overkill to completely useless, but the multiplayer was more balanced, even if I hated the autoaim.
Halo 3: This game is a complete utter mess. While the plot and story were never strong, they seemed to try and add philoshphical meanings and character set pieces best fitting a heavily plot-driven film. That's good, when there is actually alot of plot. The Cortana memories are incredbly cliche and unfitting. It's as if they're trying to make the Halo script more than it is. The weapons are hollow and seem to have their quality tuned down (Probably to fit the higher res textures on the slowly defuncing laser format of the 360) The opening levels are incredibly drab, the jungle scenes looked alot better in Halo 2. Not because of the detail, but because of the lacking variety and design.
They also have so many enemy types they tried to give each one a tiny amount of screen time. Also, this 'battle' between the two convient factions has all but vanished. I was expecting something similar to near the end of Halo 2, which was breathtaking. Sadly not, it's defend this dull base, defend this drab and depressing area and move on to this uninspiring Flood hive.
Is it me, or was the ending heavily rushed? The final boss (No spoilers here, though you won't be too bothered) was a complete JOKE. The idea, the concept, the execution. It was pathetic. And just before that, the AI were starting to fail, a few didn't move at all and got in your way. It's not a big issue, so we can excuse that. But Boss, ast level, ending were horridly short and unfun.
The moral of the story? Don't beleive what the magazines say, and don't trust the hype. Play it, you might like it, but if you love games for their gameplay, their plot or even their level of fun. This is an insult.

A legend (Latin, legenda, "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants, includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include miracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises. An example of a Legend is the Halo series. kick ass, freddie out
