It's the addition of the Forge level editor and the saved films that give the game an even longer set of legs, legs that will probably keep you running at full speed until Bungie figures out where, exactly, to go from here.

Halo 3 is the best Xbox 360 game to date. The single-player campaign and storyline are both very strong, but it's Forge and the Saved Films features that will likely go down in history as Bungie's crowning achievements. They've basically taken everything great about the series and improved upon it in every way, then added some amazing new features that we'll be using for years to come.

It's solid gameplay, immense replayability, online functionality and incredible production values will ensure its place in video game history, and it is, without a doubt, a satisfying and fulfilling close to the beloved trilogy[?].

Tout simplement le meilleur Halo de la licence. Halo 3 est le dernier chef-d’œuvre de Bungie pour Halo, avant que tout ne s’écroule sous le poids de l’avidité et des profits que la licence pouvait générer. À mes yeux, c’est le dernier vrai Halo. Tout ce qui est sorti par la suite a tout simplement été effacé de ma mémoire. (pas REACH)

You're d*mn right I am gonna "finish the fight"! My god, everything in this game was gloriously done in meticulous fashion. Campaign, multiplayer, updates to controls, UI, gameplay, mechanics and the soundtrack . . . OMG the Soundtrack is just as good as the first two games if not better!

Nothing takes me back to being a kid again more than this game. I no longer have rose-tinted glasses on, but this game is still a masterpiece. The hours put into this game with friends and family were never a waste, and I still play it on MCC.

One of those rare instances where the developer exceeded expectations and over delivered.

Halo 3 transcends video games. It is a global entertainment experience. Just as "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" and "Spiderman 3" brought to a close two of the most lucrative and epic film trilogies of all time, Halo 3 brings to a close perhaps the most complete, engaging and downright fun video game trilogy of all time. There is absolutely no way any Halo fan will be disappointed by this game.

The game is definitely far superior to its predecessor and is just about on-par with the original, maybe even more so since it feels more complete.

This last installment for Master Chief in the Halo trilogy isn't perfect, but it comes pretty close.

What it comes down to is that Halo 3 is still a great playing first-person shooter that manages to get just about everything right.

There's no denying how awesome the replay and Forge features are – but they're not the core of the game. Don't get me wrong, the single player campaign is very strong, the action is tight, and the AI is F.E.A.R.-killing. But for every positive, there was an area of the game that left me wanting more – the backtracking, the overly cheesy storyline, the underwhelming visuals. And multiplayer feels too much like a HD-version of Halo 2 with a few gadgets you can toss around.

The ads promise an epic tale of tragedy, sacrifice, and heroism that Halo 3 really had no hope in hell of ever delivering. More troubling, however, is the fact that after playing the game, I can suggest with some certainty that they promised a game that Bungie didn't even bother trying to produce.

Halo 3 es el punto en el que el shooter en consola alcanza un equilibrio perfecto entre sistema, ritmo y espacio. No es un juego de frenesí ni de precisión quirúrgica: es un ballet de escalas. Todo —velocidad, salto, armas, vehículos, IA, mapas— está calibrado para que el jugador piense mientras se mueve, no para que reaccione en pánico. Halo 3 se juega como se lee una partitura. A diferencia de Gears, Call of Duty o incluso shooters modernos, Halo 3 confía en el espacio. Los niveles no te empujan: te ofrecen situaciones. La IA no te abruma con números, te flanquea, te obliga a reposicionarte. Cada arma tiene un rol claro, ninguna invalida al resto. El sandbox no es decorativo: es el juego. Narrativamente, eso sí, no es profundo. Es mitología pulp, épica simple, casi ingenua. Pero aquí viene lo importante: Halo 3 entiende que la historia no debe competir con el sistema. Está ahí para enmarcar, no para imponer. Bungie no intenta “decirte algo”; te deja hacer cosas bien durante horas y horas. Y luego está lo irrepetible y el motivo por el cual se consolida por encima de muchos juegos contemporáneos: campaña cooperativa, multijugador, Forge, Theater, mapas memorables, balance fino, comunidad viva… todo en un mismo paquete, sin cinemáticas intrusivas ni loops diseñados para retenerte artificialmente. Halo 3 no te manipula: te respeta. Y ese respeto no se ha repetido todavía en la industria.

it's the LAZIEST game of the series, the Story is Bad and have Wasted Characters like Miranda and the Arbither is mostly a background Character, they Reused Soundtracks from Previous games and they barely change them, Some Leves are Bad or Lazy like Crow's Nest where you Go back to the Command Center 3 Times, the Ark where you go back to the Door which was closed and you Leave the tank meaning it was Filler, the last level is a Cheap copy of the Maw from CE, who thought it was a great idea to add these Cortana messages that slow you down and look Unfinished, It's worse on the Level Cortana and happens on linear Paths, Enemy and Ally AI are Bad and on some places they get Stuck, Most weapons **** especially the Shotgun and Magnum, lights are very bright like if someone played with the Gamma, the movement feel Too Slow.
the most Innovative things are Forge mode and theater, the equipments are a Good addition to Gameplay.
Halo 3 is a game that didn't took Risks and All of those "Homages" felt more like Lazyness because Halo 3, Halo 2 and CE are 3 years apart and not a Decade or more.

It would be fascinating to know why other reviewers rate this title so highly, as the Single-Player is one of the worst in existence, the characters are uninteresting and easily forgettable and the load-time durations are simply a war crime. Halo 3's soundtrack, multiplayer and distinctive visual style prevent this title from simply being a polished turd. Multiplayer (including Forge Mode) is the only plausible reason to purchase this game for entertainment value because it earns its own merit and then some. The maps are varied and offer plenty of strategy and the use of vehicles are immensely entertaining. Graphics 6/10 Although distinct in visual style, some of the level design does little to highlight it. Gameplay 6/10 Single player is atrocious, boring and forgettable but multiplayer is in a league of its own. Features 6/10 Removing the vacuous single player from the equation, Multiplayer has a gargantuan lasting appeal. Overall: 4/10 Multiplayer retains the same high standards of previous entries but the single player is simply an offence in gaming.
SummaryHalo 3 is the third game in the Halo Trilogy and provides the thrilling conclusion to the events begun in "Halo: Combat Evolved." Halo 3 picks up where "Halo 2" left off. The Master Chief is returning to Earth to finish the fight. The Covenant occupation of Earth has uncovered a massive and ancient object beneath the African sands - an o... Read More
