Game Overview
Buy it, just buy it! Storyline, characters, gameplay, soundtrack, graphics, multiplayer, arsenal and replay ability, Halo 3 has it all. It's is without a doubt the undisputed king of games making a ridiculous 300 million dollars in it's first week on sale.

We have played it, and to be honest we are struggling to review it. People know how good Halo is and Halo 3 is no exception. It isn't going to appeal to every gamer out there, but the majority of people who have half a brain will want to get their hands on Halo 3.

Single player is a chance to get lost in a world of fantasy with a wide array of weapons and lots of enemies to destroy as well as a storyline which sucks you in and spits you out screaming for more!

One thing that disappointed us though was the co-op campaign. Halo 3 as most people may or may not know is actually an incredibly difficult game. Once in a while you'll get to a point in the game where no matter what you try, you just won't be able to get past the abundance of enemies firing at you. It is at this point we would love to be able to call on a mate to give us a hand but, NO! For us to play co-op we have to start an entire game again and re-do the level from the start. Gears of War you could invite someone in when you got stuck, which was a genius idea but in Halo it just isn't possible. Highly frustrating if you have stupidly tried completing the game on Legendary!

Online offers up mass online shoot em up sessions, death matches, team death match, capture the flag etc......be warned though, if you haven't played Halo online before or you are a bit rusty with FPS games then you WILL get a pasting online. The game is so fast and action paced that if you manage to get 4 or 5 kills in a row you will be doing incredibly well! One other warning about online is that if you choose to play a ranked game with a bunch of strangers, be ready for a ribbing from a bunch of spotty "I’ve got a pube!" teenagers as they melee attack you for the 50th time!......another very frustrating factor of Halo 3.

Our Conclusions
Those people who you find in Halo 2 still saying that "Halo has been ruined" are just jealous because they can't quite afford Halo 3 yet. Don't listen to them, Halo is just as good as it ever has been and with the movie imminent in the next couple of years it is a very good time to be a fan of Halo. BUY IT!

Overall Score: 9.5/10
