    • ^__________^WOW! awesome work with the story unlike Halo and even Halo 2 had much in want
    • The multi-player is pretty good, but its X-Box live that sets this game apart, first, its grapics are beyond the scale, maybe better than "Gears of War", second, the weapons are like none-other, the new grenade is my faverite, and third, my friends and I thought that Halo 2 couldn't be beat, Halo 3 proves us wrong

    • Halo is really like a movie, and watching an expert play it is like watching a Hollywood Sci-fi.
    • Halo 3 does not disappoint
    • While Halo 3 keeps many of the same qualities that made Halo 2 the great game it was, and also refines some of the issues that plagued Halo 2, it still doesn't deliver the homerun some might have been expecting
    • I played Halo 1 and 2, and liked them pretty well, but ws never a fanatic or anything-i like shooters, but am not that skilled at

    • Best Halo
    • In that respect, Halo 3 does not disappoint
    • Halo 2 completely lacks this consistency, cuts back on the level lengths, and flits between characters and situations.

    • As an avid PC FPS player, the original Halo and Halo 2 dissapointed me, mainly the single player aspect

    • Overall, Halo 3 is good, for the most part a superb version of halo 2 (+ more) that just turns out to be a bit of a letdwon

    • editorconsstorygraphicsnot as good as halo
    • Pure Halo 1.
    • Halo 3 campaign is good and all, but its the multiplayer that counts
    • I remember playing the first Halo and wondering how anyone could possibly say this was a defining FPS experience
    • Halo 2 for me was the better of all the games and it will make more sense to play the Halo 2 game before you play this one
    • If you didn't like Halo
    • Halo 3 is much improved in several ways.
    • My favorite was halo 1
    • Much of the classic Halo tunes have now been remodified, and being a musician myself trying to rewrite something that's hailed amazing and still keep it fresh and great isn't as easy as throwing on some new instruments and calling it genius
    • I think this one was very well done and fun to play, but it had a rough shot right out of the gate having to compete with the amazing Halo 1.
    • If you loved Halo 2, you probably would love Halo 3.
    • I love Halo, but I scream at my TV all day long because of all the unbelievable, unrealistic, "BS

    • Bottom line: if you love Halo 1 or 2, you will love this game.
    • I enjoyed Halo 2 as well although it did seem a bit short compared to the first one
    • Halo 3, the amazingly highly anticipated sequel to the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo franchise, the third and final installment
    • Very nice online adversarial, it's not my favorite Halo game of all time but a great pick up for anyone who doesn't have it and wants a new game in the series to start on.
    • Halo 3 was fun.+++ No timed missions
    • In the end I give it 5 stars because I freaking love halo and everything about it, even though the story lacks a certain closure if you will and leaves unfinished business every where, but HEY maybe there will be another sequel to tie up its loose ends
    • Halo 3 in my opinion, is the pinnacle of the series, a shining beacon atop the pyramid of the series
    • Halo 3 is GREAT SUCCESS!!!
    • MUCH better than any of the following Halos, especially Halo 4 which is too much like COD
    • lots of fun, great original halo game spent too many hours on this one now onto halo 4 and reach etc
    • One of the best Halo games I've ever played.
    • Saying Halo 3 is awsome is a massive understatment.
    • Still, Halo 3 doesn't control bad, but it does take some getting used to
    • Yes, Halo is fun and an easy way for everyone on your friends list to pick up and play endless hours, but after playing the first 2 Halo games this one just gets boring.
    • Halo 3 is worth the price and all the hype.
    • That said, of the first three entries in the Halo series, Halo 3 really feels like the first time we get to fully stretch our wings.
    • Halo 3 is great fun
    • Halo 3 was receiving so much hype that I became afraid that it wasn't going to live up to it
    • I have no doubt that every gamer (or even somebody who's not a huge gamer) will love Halo 3
    • it is simply halo or as they say the mighty halo mybe the best game ever with great story and an even better online mode you dont need to think to get this one just buy it
    • So let's evaluate here shall we: the halo 3 graphics are even worse than halo 2 graphics, the gameplay is the same, the new weopons stink, pointless vehicles, and terrible multiplayer.
    • Long after people blew up the first Halo, they were still shooting each other in Blood Gulch
    • The way that the good connection option enhances your gameplay is that it cuts down on the oh-so notorious rep that Halo 2 had for being laggy, and allows your games to be more 'fair'.Halo 2 may still be more fun for LAN parties, but Halo 3 takes a step toward a more serious tone: Skill.
    • the best Halo campaignmany people find Halo 1 better
    • Other than that, Halo 3 is pretty much like all the other ones
    • Halo 3 is MUCH better than any Wii game I've
    • If you a hardcore HALO 1 fan like I am am you will not enjoy this.
    • I loved Halo 2's co-op features,but I thought that the missions were terrible!The missions where you were elites were
    • And for all their efforts, the story is presented as well as Halo 1 (but better than 2).Still, it is a game that can give you many little bits of fun
    • First of all I'm not a fanatic Halo fan.
    • Highly recommended that you get Xbox Live to play online games - the online play absolutely makes Halo such an amazing game.
    • its better than halo 2 in my opinion more weapons, better graphics, a must have!
    • Halo 3 is great
    • I'm a sucker for atmosphere, I consider games like the Half-Life series to be the best, and this game, like it's original (Halo 1) masterfully gives you a real sense of being in the game
    • Halo 3 has been out for about 3-4weeks now and already the multiplayer is losing it's appeal and the campaign was horrid from the get-go.
    • I'm sure the halo fans and the multiplayer fanatics will find more interest in this game than i did.
    • Halo's advantage was that it was easy to rank down and harder to rank up
    • I played Halo 2 and I did not enjoy it too well.
    • If you liked the original Halo then you'll more than likely like Halo 3...and you probably like or will like Halo 2 for that matter
    • Even if you didn't like Halo or Halo
    • Halo in general feels like a dumbed down FPS so retards can enjoy mindless killing of enemys.- there is no real duck and cover, no looking around walls/corners
    • I enjoyed Halo and I was very disapointed with Halo 2
    • There are some cool new vehicles, but overall Halo 3 is like almost every other FPS out there
    • oh and lets not forget the new equipment, such as the infamous bubble shield seen in the best halo 3 trailer "starry night" and a bunch of other nifty toys each with their own tactical purpose/advantage that balance out the overwhelming odds you have to deal with at times
    • Liked Halo 4, Halo Reach I fully enjoyed
    • I enjoyed Halo and I was very disapointed with Halo 2
    • I mastered Halo 1 and 2 on the 'Heroic' settings, and figured I'd try my skills on it once more on the 'Heroic' setting for Halo 3
    • I have always loved Halo, since it first came out
    • A great Halo player can win a battle that doesn't start in their favor, such as someone shooting you first
    • This is by far the most linear and boring Halo in the series
    • Halo 3 does get a boost in that it is released for the 360, so you get an automatic upgrade in abilities there
    • They say that Halo is just overhyped, and not as good as you might think it would be.
    • When Microsoft first acquired Bungie after the first Halo, I have to admit that I was a bit concerned about the quality of future games from them, thinking that MS would be about money first and quality second and sad to say, Halo 2 confirmed my worst fears
    • fun game if you want to get one of the best halo games get this one you will not regret it.
    • Secondly, the XBOX LIVE levels are not as great as Halo 2
    • Halo 3 is a disappointment for a number of different reasons
    • but they effed it up and made it as powerful as a supersoaker, and the deployable weapons are fun, but it's just Halo 2 the way it should have been the first time if it wasn't rushed.
    • I played Halo 2 and kind of enjoyed it
    • Halo 3 takes full advantage of the Xbox 360's high definition gaming capabilities
    • I have never liked Halo 1 or 2.
    • Halo one was really quite good, and then Halo two came, and it was sort of a let down
    • I think Gears Of War was better-and that game, although very good didn't live up the the hype either (to be fair, I don't think any game can).Bottom Line: If you liked Halo 1 and 2, you will like this
    • The Halo 3 games works fine
    • Never finished Halo and barely cracked open Halo 2
    • Not as disappointing as Halo
    • Halo 3 was, in a way, doomed before it was released
    • I really expected more from the great Halo name
    • I hated halo until i actually played it
    • Unlike many other people, you'll find that I enjoyed Halo 1's multiplayer more than Halo 2
    • I love the game, if you enjoyed any halo previous you will enjoy this one and if you like FPS's you will also love this game
    • Some people hate Halo because it is so popular
    • Any fan to Halo or SCiFI shooter will love halo 3
    • The M rating didn't bother me as I had seen the other Halo games.
    • It's always focused between the two main characters and never breaking them as they did in Halo 2
    • It's as if Halo fanatics never took a glimpse at Counterstrike, Battlefield or dozens upon dozens of other PC FPS games that offer more gameplay options, refined gameplay, immersive graphics and A.I. that acts human
    • This doesn't work perfectly as you'd expect though as they are not able to read your mind and drive accordingly.
    • People of all skill levels play together, sometimes based on skill, sometime not (players choice), I made friends online and invited my personal friends to join as well,this game is an easy A+++!
    • this game is good for laughs with friends--but it is so unbalanced and unfair that even after you are a level 30, and still cant figure out how 3 clips from a brute shot dont kill a level 2 as he turns and shoots once for the win---this game is no break-thru, the maps are few, the gametypes are poor, and no skill is required--just luck of the draw.
