Halo 3 review
__________________
Intro
---------------
I will now state I have been with the Halo series since I was 7, so I may think higher of it than you.
Remember back when Halo:CE came out, you had to practice all summer long to beat it on legendary?
Well Halo has changed since then. I got it Christmas 2008 and have now perfected it playing an average of half an hour a day.
So you can see how Halo 3 skills are so much easier to get than Halo:CE.
I hope that you enjoy the review and it may change your opinion.
Story (8/10)
---------------
The story is like all other Halo games, you fight the Covenant to stop them from activating the Halo rings.
This one actually stands out, as you start with a new array of objectives. From destroying a Scarab tank to
investigating a crashed ship. The sad part about the story is there are no huge twists. The other Halo games had huge twists such as Captain Keys getting turned into a giant spud(flood unit) or Brutes taking the Elites ranks. This is why the story only wins me a 8/10.
Gameplay (10/10)
---------------
Amazing... Simply amazing. There are 3 new game modes since Halo 2. Matchmaking
matches you up with all kinds of people with your skill, The Forge allows you to tweak your own maps and use them in Custom Games,
and the Theater allows you to watch the latest games you've played, Forges made, and film clips from File sharing, and then take screeshots! The Campaign unleashes a new array of weapons and foes, and Custom games allows you to play any style you want. From a neverending Capture The Flag game to a Football-style Oddball game. The customization of your appearance makes you look completely unique, from an all blue Power Ranger-style Spartan to a Goblin-looking all green Elite. The possibilities are endless for whatever happens on your own copy of Halo 3.
Multiplayer (9/10)
---------------
Halo 3's multiplayer is just out of the ball-park... If you have Xbox LIVE Gold. Without it games like infection are no fun with 2 people. With it you can make an epic clash of Elephants in Sandtrap or Forge a bunch of Star Wars ships in Foundry.
Play with as many people as you can if you don't have LIVE, or else drop it and play CoD4.
Graphics (10/10)
Bungie perfects perfect graphics in Halo 3. It's like tighter Halo 2 graphics with more spiffy backgrounds, and you know how tight Halo 2's graphics are. For being made in 2007, it has graphics like a 2009 game. All you can say about Halo 3's graphics is
"Wow, look at the scratches in the Arbiters armor!" or "Amazing, Bungie drew each individual thread in the sandbags!
Sound (10/10)
Again Bungie has perfect sound. From the waterfall in Vallhalla to the sound of blood splattering in Gravemind's stomache.
Final Reccomendation.
If you love FPS's, BUY THIS GAME! If you have a 360, BUY THIS GAME! If you like customization, BUY THIS GAME!
If you don't have a 360, Buy it and then you can but Halo Wars once you solo it all on legendary.
Thank Bungie for making an awesome game.
