Learn more about Halo 3. (Flash demo) 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: Good Graphics, Story line decent
What's not so great: Repetative

"Halo 3 is the first Halo for 360 and is consequently superior in graphics and less lag. However, this game turns repetitive quickly after some playing time."

What's great about it: online gaming
What's not so great: single player is a bit boring

"This game is probably one of the most exciting games that I've ever played. This online experience is unmatchable. With new enemies every time, you can't get bored. The weapons are excellent, the graphics are excellent, the online experience as a whole is excellent. This game is the one game that I keep going back to, aside from a few childhood favorites. If you're looking for a game with phenominal multiplayer action, this is the game for you. Best game released on this game console by far."

What's not so great: I can't beat it on legendary

"Awesome game. After Halo 2 I thought the series was dying...I was so dissapointed with that game...then came this. Halo 3 is ridiculously addictive, especially on Live (I've missed work because of it). The only bad thing is I can't beat the thing on Legendary..."

What's great about it: Overall great game fun for player of all ages.
What's not so great: Multiplayer mode can cause uses to experience slow game play or lag.

"Halo 3 is a great game. It combines the beauty of Halo 1 with the online multiplayer madness of Halo 2. The graphics are insane, and it is without a doubt one of the most highly played game on Xbox Live. However a Gold Xbox Live membership is required for online gameplay, the online fun is well worth the 5 or 6 dollars a month."

What's not so great: nothing

"Bungie wraps up Halo in a great way with a clear plot. Graphics and sound are a 6 out of 5. HDTV and 5.1 or 7.1 are needed. Soundtrack is the best yet. Many new songs and old Favorites that have been revised. You'll be playing this for a long time with one of the best Mult. Player in all of gameing history. cannot go wrong with this buy."

What's great about it: New custom game modes in matchmaking

"I played H3 for a good amount of time when it first came out, but it has been sitting on my shelf for the last 6 months. However, they've added some new custom game variants to the matchmaking playlist and added achievements to them as well (if you like that kind of thing).
My personal favorite new game type is called "Grifball" (if you've seen Red vs Blue you'll see the association). Basically, it is a 4v4 match that has everyone running around with gravity hammers and swords, it's an assault mission so you win by taking the bomb that starts in the middle of the field and planting it in your opponent's base. It has a very football like feel to it, because you and your teamates have to block for your bomb carrier until they can find a seam to run it in for the score.
Like I said, I hadn't played H3 in months, but this weekend alone I just logged probably 15 hours.
It's also rekindled my desire to also play some of the other custom game variants like "Infection" and "Rocket Race". There's nothing like a good zombie game type to get hyped.
"
