Video Game Reviews of Halo 3 Legendary Edition
Customer Review: A good but over hyped game.
Summary: 2 Stars
I love first person shooters, I've played tons of them making me wonder why this game is so praised. Half of the aliens are comedy relief who crack lame jokes, run around like Ewoks with laser guns. The other groups of aliens run around in colorful suits of armor making them less of a threat and more of a joke. The ally AI was a joke, most of the time I'd have to drive around dodging while my AI lackie missed every shot. Taking the turret over I had nothing more to do than laugh as he plows head on into the enemy tank and I get turned into bacon strips.
The game seems to want to be the movie Aliens but more light hearted. It was generic shooter all the way and even more so online. I'm missing something I'm sure since the game wasn't what people were telling me it was. Most of the guns sound like toys and Master Chief looks like he's made of plastic. A minor complaint I have is the game isn't HD, it's 640p scaled up to 720p so that's standard definition confusing me since it's supposed to be a next gen game.
The helmet is nothing more than a tiny decoration for you to put on a shelf to gather dust and house spiders, making the price insane for something like this.
In short Halo 3 is nothing short of a generic shooter which isn't bad, but it doesn't live up to the hype in the least, it's nothing ground breaking and in my opinion it's not worth 60 dollars never the less the price you pay for the helmet pack, a good rental at best.
Description of Halo 3 Legendary Edition
Halo 3 is the third game in the Halo Trilogy and the thrilling conclusion to the events begun in Halo: Combat Evolved. 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. The Covenant occupation of Earth has uncovered a massive and ancient object beneath the African sands, an object whose secrets have yet to be revealed. Earth's forces are battered and beaten. The Master Chief's AI companion, Cortana, is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind, a horrifying Flood intelligence, and a civil war is raging in the heart of the Covenant. It's all been building to this--a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Take control of Master Chief to defeat the Covenant and destroy the Flood as a measure to prevent the annihilation of the human race. Online multiplayer, the game builds upon the party-based social multiplayer experience from Halo 2 with new weapons, vehicles, maps, gametypes, and added customization features.Promotions - For Editorial Games
