In this third chapter of the Halo trilogy, Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax.
Halo 3 represents the third chapter in the Halo trilogy—an international award-winning action series that grew into a global entertainment phenomenon, selling more than 14.5 million units worldwide, logging more than 650 million hours of multiplayer action on Xbox Live, and spawning action figures, books, a graphic novel, apparel, an upcoming film adaptation, and more.

- Unparalleled experience: Ultimately, these improvements provide gamers with an unparalleled experience and, in the end, tell an even more compelling and engrossing story.
- Online multiplayer: Working in concert with Xbox Live on Xbox 360, Halo 3 builds upon the unique social multiplayer experience and innovative, evolving online gameplay of Halo 2.

Halo 3 is an excellant game and has great graphics its also fun shooting all the aliens.
halo3 rules
Reviewed by Gavin from NZ on May 14th, 2008
What was that guy smoking? oh wait a minute... hes australian, explains all.
I have 3 xbox 360s and 1 ps3. The ps3 pretty much sits there gathering dust, i use it as a blu-ray player but apart from that i really
have no praise for the console itself. The cross media bar is boring and gay, the online service cant compare to xbox live, the games
are no better than that on the 360 etc etc. As for reliability, i have never had a problem with any of my 360s where as my ps3 froze
up on me 3 times on the first day i used it. As for halo3 itself, how can you sit there and say that the graphics are no better than
halo2. Do you watch tv with your eyes closed? Halo3 is clearly better if you actually took time to sit down and have a real look.
Yes halo3 may have had problems but dont start talking about something you clearly know nothing about. The campaign may be
short but multiplayer is where its at, millions of users cant be wrong. Anyway, i think that halo3 is an excellent game and it was
never made to be revolutionary. People will still be playing this game years from now, cant say that about many games.

why i bought a ps3
 Reviewed by Alexander from Chadstone, Australia on May 12th, 2008
I've only ever played the halo series at my friend's house, and i was terribly disappointed. This game is, as Junglist on the TV show Good Game says, "evolutionary, not revolutionary."
This game hasn't really improved on the last one. A couple of new weapons like the Gravity Hammer i liked, but the only time it has an effect on gameplay is in the multiplayer, which if you're a fan of online you have to pay for. The graphics haven't improved, the trees still look like pipes with brown and green bits stuck on them, and the close-up images are full of jaggies. I'm really glad that this is the last game in the series, that way there can be no more over-hype.
Sorry halo, but I've had much more fun on Call of Duty 4 on PS3, with free online, more reliability and a better exclusive line-up. I really don't think that this game is the only reason to buy an xBox. And sorry xBox fanboys, but i'm going to have to recommend the PS3 to all new gamers. This game truly does fall under the category of "just another first-person-shooter".

This game is AWESOME!!!

The storylines too short...?
Isn't that what the skulls are there for..?
You can't honestly say that the game is too short when you play it on legendary with the skulls turned on...
For shame...
EXPLOSIVE! but not the same...
Reviewed by Herman from australia on December 11th, 2007
ill try to tell u things u dont know cause we all know the graphics are kool and its more explosive
well i really liked halo 2 and halo 1 but halo 3 is not what i expected, they brought bak the old assault rifle from halo 1 but it just wassnt the same, the spartans suit is newer, but i dont like it.
There is new weapons which are pretty cool esspecially the gravity hammer, but the game starts of when your battling new enemies (brutes with weird new armour that i dislike) and the grunts are back and their fun but just not the same in weird armour.
i miss the good old days wen you fought elites and grunts.
remember those stupid flying bug things from halo 2? there bak and annoying as ever...
and the ai cant drive!!! they fall of cliff edges! i thought the ai driving in halo 2 wassnt too bad but in halo 3 its horrible
i think you would enjoy this game even if your a loyal ps owner because it really is a great game, i just have a few personal issues with it.
i find the things i found disapointing to be really important, i was quite attached to the elites and they just vanished.
in halo 3 you can drift the warthog pretty easily, a lot of fun!!

Simply the Best
Reviewed by Luke from Australia on November 17th, 2007
Halo 3 is absolutely the best game ever!!!!!!!!! the weapons are sick as and the graphics are absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!! I love all the levels there is not one single level that i don't like. I bought this game a week ago and have been playing it pretty much every day of the week!!!!!! Halo 2 was a major hit and i absolutely couldn't wait until Halo 3 came out. At the time i didn't even have an Xbox 360 yet but i bought one just because Halo 3 came out!! I was previously going to buy the PS3 but when i saw all of the previews of Halo 3 i thought stuff the PS3 i'm gonna get the 360 for HALO 3.
All of u Halo fans if u don't hav Halo3 yet buy it and if u don't hav an Xbox 360 yet get one!!! beleive me your gonna want to!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON HALO 3!!!!!!!!
Good... But Not Great
Reviewed by Mitchell from Auckland, NZ on November 11th, 2007
As With All Games Now The Poor Thing Was Over Hyped Before Its Release, So When I Played It I Wasn't Overly Impressed.
The Graphics Where Good But A little Slow To Load At Times, The Sound Was Excellent In 7.1 (I Actually Ducked A Few Times), The Gameplay Was Same Old (But If It Aint Broke Don't Fix It), The Story Was Pridictable And Short Taking Only 8hrs On Legendary, But That Said It Is Worth Buying For Online Play & Co-Op
Soild but not spectacular
Reviewed by Broden from Hobart on October 8th, 2007
If you like the others you will like this, very little has changed in terms of gameplay.
Don't expect gears level graphics.
I wish I'd rented it first, there are some great FPS on the horizion Unreal III & COD4 which look a lot more interesting.
At the end of the day Halo3 is Halo1&2 if you've played the others you've played this, unless your fully into halo multiplayer rent it.
over-rated, should've been 1 gam
 Reviewed by Ryan from Christchurch on October 5th, 2007
I thought wthat whilst the graphics were good, and the game play itself were fine, it was really sdad when I finished the game on heroic in just under 6 hours, I mean why do I buy games? certainly not to admire the "next-gen" graphics, I get a game for a long enjoyable experience, the story also let the game down a little, as right from the start, I didn't follow the story line one little bit.
With no previous Halo experience
Reviewed by David from Auckland, NZ on October 5th, 2007
Ok as the title suggests, I had a PS2 but got sick of waiting and the value for money factor led me to change to X360... and I'm glad i did so but it wasn't because I wanted Halo 3. I have always struggled to believe the hype that surrounds this game, for many reasons - Is it possible to be THAT good? I had played Halo 2 and thought it was decidedly average, and a personal preference for realistic shooters (in terms of storyline i.e fighting humans, not aliens)
I reluctantly got this game after being talked into it when returning MOH Airbourne (boring!!), but thought I might as well see what the fuss is about. I must admit I am hooked, the graphics are superb, particularly the environments and the sound and gameplay is also excellent. Still I am not convinced about the storyline (remember haven't really play 1 or 2), but I definately cannot put my controller down.
But like the previous review it is an unfortunate trend that these next gen shooters are far too short - GRAW2, Gears of War, Bioshock and now Halo 3 were all over before they began. It seems now if you don't have broadband for multiplayer you are wasting your time. Hopefully Call of Duty 4 will be different.

That didn't take long
Reviewed by Phillip on October 4th, 2007
I am sure I won't be a popular person for saying this game was a little disappointing. Sure the graphics and gameplay are superb but it is far to short and this is becoming a trend with next generation games. Bioshock was the same, all detail and just a lack of game time. It almost seems game makers are starting to make good looking games at the expense of a proper length game.
There goes PS3...
Reviewed by Mitch from Auckland, NZ on September 29th, 2007
All I can say is WOW, quite frankly i was always a Playstation fan, however Halo 1 started to make me think, perhaps Xbox is better. I enjoyed halo 1 so much i couldn't wait for the second one. However when the second one finally came, i felt it was lacking, the weapons and enviroment weren't all that exciting and quite frankly the story line SUCKED. My only wish was that the third halo game would not be a complete waste of money, and WOW from what I've seen so far (I have only played it on my friends Xbox) it is amazing, the gameplay rocks the weapons are so much fun and the environment of the game is absolutely stunning, all I have to say is that since Halo 3 came out Playstation is absolutely screwed i mean i am contemplating buying a Xbox 360 JUST so I can play this game! WELL DONE BUNGIE YOU JUST SAVED XBOX'S ASS!
Lives up to All the Hype!
Reviewed by Holly from the Ark on September 26th, 2007
I have completed the epic story of Halo 3 and this game is amazing!
The graphics are excellent, with awesome looking real-time reflections. The levels are more epic and larger and each level seamlessly ties into the next and the story flows evenly.
This is the best out of the trilogy, the game plays like a movie! There are a whole bunch of new weapons and special equipment like bubble shields. There are many memorable battles as well, such as the one where you fight a Scarab, which I must add, is awesome to watch when you destroy it as the explosions are so cool looking. The environments in each level never get boring, the battles keep you anticipating for the next one and as the game plays out, you wonder what will happen next.
Everything that made the Halo series great is here, with lots more action, awesome explosions, battles and weapons, it is immensely fun and well worth the purchase! Plus you get an excellent Halo beanie, a poster with Arbiter and Master Chief and a bonus Xbox Live Gold trial.
Negatives? The campaign is considered short by many, but that isn't a bad thing, it plays out like an enjoyable action movie that you can easily pick up and play again and again. No boring Halo 2 alien levels, or long Library levels. The story is what makes this game enjoyable, and of course, the heroic actions of the awesome Master Chief.
If you purchase this game, you won't regret it! Certainly more fun than the depressingly dark shooter Gears of War or the underwater themed city of Bioshock. Halo has an original world and characters that will keep you playing this game for many years to come.
Besides, you have to admit that Master Chief is a pretty awesome character. ;)

Finish The Fight!

I own a PS3 & 360...best of both worlds is good. Killzone 2 shown at E3 07 looks pretty good too.
The game is definitely shaping up nicely, and the single-player campaign looks much better than the multiplayer.
Perfection
Reviewed by Chris from Central Otago, NZ on June 23rd, 2007
To Exire:
Have you played the final version of Halo 3, because it sounds like you are telling people the game is crap. More of the same is good to fans of the series, i'm sure if they had completely changed it into an RTS you would be bitching more. You have to be an idiot to straight out say you will not buy this one, after the cliffhanger at the end of halo 2 and the confirmation that this is the end of the story.
On a game note I participated in the Beta and it is looking to be one awesome game. It is even funner with the addition of equipment such as the bubble shield which shakes up multiplayer a bit and the new weapons and vehicle.
Solid performer, nothing special
Reviewed by Gareth from NZ on June 22nd, 2007
Reviews don't have to be positive. Having played the first two, I certainly won't be getting Halo 3. The first two were solid FPS games, but bought nothing significantly new to the genre and Halo 3 looks to be more of the same.
If you've already got a 360 then it's probably worth getting, but certainly not worth getting the console just to play it.
dont hate
Reviewed by Paul from Canberra, Australia on June 11th, 2007
I'm a GTA addict so I dont really care but this game demands respect. Why are people hating on 3? Have you even played it yet? Seen gameplay screens? I've been on the beta test for multiplayer and so far it looks very impressive.
Gvalkor you must be one miserable sod. If you dont like Halo dont write crap about it and go play with you're EXSORBEO.
People get excited by big releases, and its our damn right as gamers!

Won't live up to the Hype
Reviewed by Lauran on May 17th, 2007
Interesting how people are writing "reviews" for this game even though it's still near on half a year till it comes out. But it'a always good to have a forum for popular opinion.
Most Xbox360 owners will be hoping that this will blast Sonys PS3 out of the water, cause to be honest, if this game can't then nothing on this system can. But how can 360 owners not be worried looking at how Halo 2 turned out??!!
The previous posters are probably fan boys, and no matter how bad this game turns out will stick behind it 100%. They probably even thought the story in Halo 2 was good!!
Halo 3 is one of the most hyped games of this year true, but after the dust settles this game will thouroughly dissapoint. Not a contender for Game of the Year, in fact by recent press publishings it looks to be a 4 horse race between Assasin's Creed, GTA 4, Mass Effect and (Shock Horror!!) God of War 2, a lowly PS2 game!
Closing comments: If you don't really care how the game turns out be sure to at least pre order the limited or legendary editions, I mean why pre order the regular edition when this will be the copy for sale even after release?! If you want a good game, wait till after release to see how this goes.

Halo 2 was awsome, it continued on the complicated story, and brought back the multiplayer with new great improvements. Halo 3 will finally bring the story to a climatic end, and give us the greatest fps single and multiplayer experience ever.
