SynopsisThe Covenant rules the Earth — the Flood has been unleashed — and the fate of life everywhere hangs in the balance. Master Chief, a genetically engineered super soldier, is the last chance for humanity's survival. Stowed away on a Forerunner ship, he rushes back to Earth to defeat the Covenant once and for all. Hopelessly outnumbered, his outlook is bleak. But when you are bred for battle, you fight past the breaking point and bow to no one. It's all been building to this — a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Help this incredible hero stop the Covenant, destroy the Flood and save the lives of every person on the planet. The third chapter in the critically acclaimed franchise features insane battles with an arsenal of alien and human weaponry. Discover all-new armaments and characters as you fight to the finish. You can even play online with Xbox Live and battle in pulse-pounding multiplayer action. Next-generation graphics and technological advances, such as enhanced artificial intelligence and a beefed-up real-time lighting engine, make Halo 3 shine with stunning realism.

What's great about it: Intense visuals and graphics on HDTV
What's not so great: Having to download Halo 3 from Xbox live as MS screwed up the disc
I've been a big fan of The Chief for a few years and I started off with Halo 1 then went to Halo 2 and finally could complete my experience with The Chief with Halo 3. When I first got it; I tried it on my 360 slim; It wouldn't work right out of the case....so I went back and got another copy THAT copy wouldn't work.
It's also great being played on a HDTV. The color was intense.
If there is an upcoming Halo 4: PLEASE let it be about what happened to the Chief and his getting back home

While Halo has always been awesome, Halo 3 takes it to the next level. But if you're interested in a better Halo game purchase Reach. Better yet buy them both and complete your collection (if you already have 1 & 2). But if you have never played Halo or Halo 2, don't play this until you have played and finished them, they are on the same timeline and in sequential order, whereas Reach is kind of a prequel.

What's great about it: Xbox live, Campaing, Finding Skulls
What's not so great: Lacks abilities in multiplayer
The campaign is very fun especially through Xbox LIVE, playing with friends. But the ending left me thinking COME ON! I wont tell you if your buying this game but it upset me. I thought it would end gracefully, but not even close. Now the Xbox LIVE experience. Halo 3 on xbox live is very fun.. at first. You think this is awesome!!! Which it is at times. It still lacks guns, abilities, maps, and some hacking. But it is way faster than Halo 2 and much more fun. I would buy this game but once you play this game then say MW2 you'll see what I mean.

What's great about it: What you can do in this game.
What's not so great: The weak story.
Set right after Halo 2- the story of Halo 3 goes like this: Master Chief crashes in the jungles of Earth, he is rescued, has to get used to the elite's new alliance with humanity, chase the Prophet of Truth through a portal to the Halo rings's control room: the Ark, kill Truth, save Cortana from the Flood leader the Gravemind, and finally blow up the Ark and destroy the Flood. However the game leaves us off at a cliffhanger even more irritatting than Halo 2's. The campaign is fun; but it is only nine levels long and gets boring after the second time playing it. And in a way it rips you off because there are so many instances with the Gravemind that has "boss fight" written all over it, but you never do! It really makes you wonder what Bungie was doing during the whole three years they had to make this. Fortunatly: you can play campaign with your friends over the online magic that is Xbox LIVE, so there is some replay value. The multiplayer is fantastic and twice as strong than the previous two. Plus, there is even a neat little tool called "Forge" in which you can edit objects in any of the multiplayer maps. Objects keep in mind- not the overall layout. There is even a movie making feature called "Theater" in which you replay game data that you already played- and can watch it like a movie, make it a movie, take a screenshot, etc. Its a great game, but the story mode will leave you unsatisfied. But the multiplayer, Forge, and Theater modes greatly make up for it.

What's great about it: Amazing campaign, best multiplayer ever, graphics, sound, voice action, story, price
What's not so great: Absolutely nothing.
Halo 3 is the completion of the Halo trilogy (don't worry if you haven't played the other games, there's a recap in the guidebook) The story, as with the other games, is awesome, and the ending is great. The weapons have been fined-tuned and are great now, the enemie AI is fantastic, But the friendly AI does have trouble when they get in a worthog (one of the vehicles) but other then that their great. If your looking for a good First-person shooter, or a good game period, definitely get Halo 3.

What's great about it: Graphics, the story is EPIC and the gameplay is great.
What's not so great: Predictable enemies when playing campaign after a few times. weapons are weak.
A great ending to the Halo trilogy, best game of all 3 games. but there are drawbacks... e.g. the weapons are either weak (the assault rifle) or have very little ammo capacity, the campaign is predictable: the enemies almost always do the same thing at the same time. the best part is the multiplayer: great maps and it is fun but i wouldn't buy w/out a Xbox live connection. the responsiveness isn't great but it does allow for minute movements for sniping and careful aiming.
