Halo 3 on Xbox 360

Greigl from Tranent [Highly rated reviewer] , 30/10/2007

Boooooooring! Played for a couple of hours...if you count the 2 hour nap i had! This is like the other 2...get the first one cheap and just play it again and you have the feel of Halo 3. Rent Bioshock instead and have some real fun!

Very boring and dull, sorry..... Bioshock is much better.

The game started and I could browse the menu etc but it gets to 29% and failed to load content so I couldn't start any campaign or solo games!!! Tried it on my 360 (white) and Elite, same on both! swapped HDD's about too... no dice.

Couldn't play the game so it gets a poor review from me.

This is a fantastic game to say the least. The use of action packed game play and adrenalin pumping music really gives you what you need to have fun in a game. For those fans of previous games from the Halo franchise this game includes all the fun online and offline the last two did with some excellent additions to refresh the experience.

The storyline runs for around about the same amount of time those of Halo 1 and 2 and leaves no disappointments when you venture to the end. Featuring stunning AI and sheer brilliant online capabilities this game is a must have for any Xbox 360 owner.

All in all this game lived up to the hype its well known for. I would gladly recommend this game to anyone with an Xbox 360 and finish by saying this is a must have for the Xbox 360 platform.

In response to the comment titled 'it aint out at time of writing...' There was a Beta available to everyone with Xbox Live at the given date so Halo 3 has been played and experienced before release so please don’t ignore the comments posted before release.

I've never really understood the hype of halo. The story has no original aspects, the addition of vehicles had been done soo many times before by better games, and now halo 3 seems to just go backwards instead of moving a series forwards.

I first came home to find my housemate playing this game. I remember immediately looking at the tv (on 42' full hd) and saying 'graphics arent up to much'. Character models are well detailed, but the geography and architecture is soo bland and lacks the same detail.

Another thing about this is the weapons all sound like they are silenced! When you fire an assault rifle you expect to hear a nice loud gun sound, but in Halo 3 I could hear environment sounds louder than the guns going off. Maybe that''s just me.

One pretty cool thing about this is watching the flood re-infest a body and bring it back from the dead. I'm trying to think of other things that were cool about it but im struggling.

I've never been able to figure out why the Halo games were so hyped (surely shooting germans is better than triangler alian misfits?)

It was worked well upon, but has nothing on some more non linear titles such as the forth coming operation flashpoint 2 or GTA 4

Don't get me wrong, it was never near the worst I've played but its never gonna be Nirvana for gamers!

PS

Online is far better than the stale single player
