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.

awesome game   10/08/2007
By Longhorn

What's great about it: amazing! multi-player mode is great
What's not so great: campaign too short

"Great game. Graphics is a lot better than Halo 2. Interation between team members is better than ever. It is sad to know that Halo 3 is the last one! Wish there is a Halo 4. My friends and I enjoyed playing the game."

Great game!   10/08/2007
By xboxgamer32

What's great about it: Graphics, gameplay
What's not so great: Nothing so far!

"As a former xbox system owner, this is one of the first xbox 360 games purchased and it rocks! Amazing graphics, particularly the ability to do film-mode where you can folllow your previous actions during gameplay with a "camera" following yourself or "filming" other action in the scene previously played.
Lighting effects are photorealistic.
Only drawback I have read is the relatively short Campaign mode, but as far as I can tell it's still pretty challenging and I have a long way to go!

A must have for any true Halo fan   10/08/2007
By Flashburnnw from seatac, wa

What's great about it: Graphics, Familiar Gameplay, New and Improved Weapons
What's not so great: Seemed a little short

"LIke most Halo fan I have been waiting for this game to come out. After standing in line for about an hour I finally got my hands on my copy of Halo 3. I rushed home and popped into my 360 and awaited my chance to save the universe. I was pleased with the graphics and gameplay. I enjoyed the new weapons (Man how I do love the hammer) and the improved version of old favorite(the neddler). Overall I was very pleased with the game. So if you are one of the few people who dont own this, what the heck are you waiting for. Run out and buy it now."

Halo 3   10/08/2007
By tjwright from Indiana

What's great about it: awesome new weapons, new maps, and new gameplay
What's not so great: sniping is harder, and no team snipers or team SWAT in matchmaking yet

"This is an awesome game, if you don't have a 360, you should buy a 360 just for this game. I haven't played the campaign yet, but I have played the multiplayer and forged. It is amazing, its fun doing the forge with friends, also the variety of weapons and equipment just makes it so much of a diverse game because you can play it in so many different ways. I like how they made no "dominant" weapons like they did in Halo 2 with the sword, you can be dominate like with the sniper, but its a skilled weapon the sword wasn't. The only bad thing is that the sniping is much more difficult but I guess it's something to get used to. Get it."

A must buy for the Xbox 360...   10/08/2007
By Eajseo from Texas

What's great about it: Very intense online gameplay, awesome graphics
What's not so great: I would say the campaign, the ending isn't that great.

"Personally, this is the best FPS game ever made. It has intense online gameplay which is really fun. A player can get into it and play for days nonstop. I play this game whenever I have time. Awesome in style and originality. Everything is great in this game. I'd rate it 9.8/10. Only part I did not like was the ending. I don't want to go into detail for the ending because it would ruin the story. So there you have it. The best FPS game ever made."

Great Purchase   10/08/2007
By Gangsta

What's great about it: This game is wonderful! I highly recommend it to all halo players out there.
What's not so great: Some weapons

"The single player is bigger and brawnier than anything that's been attempted on a console before. The multiplayer, which already shadowed the competition, has improved to the point of ridiculousness. The new features - Forge, Saved Films, Coop - are frighteningly addictive. And if you don't like any of that, you're always welcome to edit it until you do. All in all, this game will rock your world!"

best game ever   10/08/2007
By maxer04

What's great about it: great graffics, cool new weapons, cool new maps, new multiplayer modes
What's not so great: i cant think of a con becuase it is so good

"the new installment of halo has everything one could dream of. One of the new multiplayer games is called Forge. With forge, one can add things to the map such as vehicles, weapons, scenery, powerups and more. You can also move things around in the maps, and put yourslef into another spot on the map. The campaign mode has the best storyline out of all three of the halo games, and includes a slew of enemys and weapons. There are 10 new weapons that can be very useful when used correctly. Halo 3 is easily the best of the series."

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: None

"I knew that this game would be good but it completely blew my mind. Brilliant graphics, and gameplay. I absolutely love the multiplayer maps and the ability to create your own and move stuff around with the forge. I would have to say that this is by far the best game I have ever played."

Halo 3   10/08/2007
By danskir

What's great about it: Excellent time playing/ multiplayer is great fun/ excellent replayability
What's not so great: short single player mode

"Excellent game. Highly recommended for anyone with an xbox 360. Diverse enough to keep you interested rather than other games that seem to drag on with the same thing over and over.
Will keep you interested long term.

Best 360 game I own   10/08/2007
By therudedog from Mcallen, TX

What's great about it: Online matchmaking is consistent and fair. The story mode is great too, which is uncommon for a shooter.
What's not so great: Not enough time in a day to play it for as long as you would like.

"This game has everything a 360 owner wants. Constant challenges, smooth gameplay, and great value. Halo 3 is just so much fun, that you just can't wait to get home to play. The story mode was very interesting to me in that most shooters have no solid storyline. However, Halo 3 has a great story that will keep you into to it until the end. The online matchmaking engine works great. You never have to worry about been thrown in to a game with people at very high levels. You play every online game knowing you have a chance to win."

Great game   10/08/2007
By Stormin9876

What's great about it: Great gameplay, Ultimate multiplayer value
What's not so great: 4-player co-op ONLY through Live.

"This game is absolutely great. It is a fitting conclusion (supposedly!) for a great series.
The single player storyline is great. Playing co-op is a blast. The added "skulls" which modify the campaign experience, along with the campaign scoring, which allows co-op players to compete for the best performance, adds unlimited replay value to an already great game.

Best Game Ever   10/08/2007
By AnTh186 from Pittsburgh, PA

What's great about it: high replay value, great story, awesome graphics, great music, amazing multiplayer, etc
What's not so great: still haven't found one

"This is the perfect ending to the Halo trilogy. The game is one of the best values for your money I have seen in a long time. The multi-player will blow your mind away, especially on X-box live. The worst part of the game is the campaign mode, which I may add is awesome. Basically there is close to nothing wrong with this game. The detail of graphics along with the classic Halo music is fantastic. Plus, with the addition of the Forge and Theatre modes, this game pretty much has it all. A definite must buy."

Greatest GAME   10/08/2007
By Oz03 from Pennsylvania

What's great about it: Beautiful scenery, gameplay is amazing
What's not so great: Storyline was too short;

"The gameplay for halo 3 is unbeliveable. Everything seems so real. The physics are one of the best ever, and the scenery is amazing. Whether you are winning online, of just looking at the scenery, you'll be proud you bought this game."
