Unparalleled first-person shooter experience and the most compelling story of the trilogy

Halo 3 is the third game in the Halo Trilogy and the thrilling conclusion to the events begun in Halo: Combat Evolved. Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax. The Covenant occupation of Earth has uncovered a massive and ancient object beneath the African sands - an object whose secrets have yet to be revealed. Earth's forces are battered and beaten. The Master Chief's AI companion Cortana is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind - a horrifying Flood intelligence, and a civil war is raging in the heart of the Covenant. It's all been building to this -- a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Take control of Master Chief to defeat the Covenant and destroy the Flood to prevent the annihilation of the human race.

Beautiful Disappointment

I've played about 1,000 matches of Halo 3 on Xbox live. The game looks great and the graphics are some of the best I've seen. The game can be fun at times, but it is incredibly frustrating. The weapons are amazingly inconsistent-sometimes one shot will kill you and sometimes 12 will not. You can review your deaths during a match on the theater mode and you will be simply astounded with how arbitrary the weapons' damages are. I'd recommend buying something else.

Excellent fps

If you like first-person-shooters at all, you will very likely find something to enjoy. Great action, solid story, pretty graphics, enthusiastic and creative community (well, there are of course some jerks mixed in), etc. Worth trying if it sounds intriguing.

Single player campaign review

Basically, if you played Halo 2, then you've experience the majority of the gameplay in 3. Some levels you fight on foot, others you fight in vehicles, but the layout is too similar to Halo 2, where you'd swear they just took the same design and changed the scenery. Graphics are slightly better but won't blow you away. With all the progress that has been made in FPSs, this one seems a little stale. I know people mainly play it for multiplayer so their experience is probably heightened, but for those who just play it solo, be sure to rent this first.

Halo 3 - Great game or the greatest game?

Halo 3 brings us back to the journey of Master Chief and the human races fight for survival. The story is compelling. The game dynamics are a great mix of "tried and true" and fresh methods. The online xbox live multiplayer will keep you coming back for months perhaps even years. Everyone should play this game at least once. Chances are, if you do, you will not be able to stop.

I wana play Halo 3

Hi,

I really wana get Halo 3 but I'm nearly 14 and my mom says that since its a mature game i'm never gonna get it to play. I think though that if I get people to agree that a very close to 14 year old can play Halo 3 please say yes to this and say the review. I am very grateful for you reading this as I could need nearly 50 people to agree for my Mom to let me but thank you for your time.

Future Halo 3 Player.....Maybe
