Summary: 4 Stars
Being that I'm not what you would call a "hardcore gamer," Halo is what I believe to be one of the best action series available on any platform. The storyline is fresh and the first game was amazing and kept you from never getting bored. Then along came Halo 2 which was good in its own right and introduced new features such as the ability to dual-wield some weapons, but they drug it down by making you fight through "the flood" again. Finally Halo 3 came out and while I would consider it to be a good game, it leaves me wanting more. The first two games took me I would say a good week to defeat while Halo 3 only took about three days (Ironic?)
As anyone would figure, Halo 3 features the Master Chief and that alien guy (no idea what his name is) seeking revenge on two common foes, high charity and the flood. Yes, the flood gets drug back into this one too. However, quite a bit more detail was put into the flood this time around. You get to see how they take control of an environment or ship and transform it completely into their own habitat, I guess you could say. This aspect was not shown in the previous two games,the flood just popped up outta nowhere seems like. Another difference is that through about half or two thirds of the game you do not have your beloved Cortana and you have to rescue her. Who woulda thought I would have missed that nagging voice in my head so much? Without her I found myself wandering around aimlessly on some of the levels because I had no one guiding me. Most of the time the game grew tired of waiting on me and pointed me in the right direction, that is if I could hold off my foes long enough.
The ending of the game is very reminiscent of Halo 1 but in a way more enjoyable as there's not quite so much of the flood in the finally, just alot of fire and explosions.
The graphics this time around are amazing. The flood is much more dynamic and features types not seen in the past. Some levels even have rats crawling around which you can actually shoot! Just be careful not to waste all of your ammo on one rat.
Whether you're a long time fan of the Halo series or you're just getting interested, I think Halo 3 is worth buying considering Amazon has it for less than $30.

so much for "finishing the fight", November 9, 2007
A Kid's Review
Fun:
To start off I'd like to say that I'm a Halo nerd, in every sense of the word. I got posters, got the soundtracks that i listen to pretty much everyday, I've read the books (fall of reach, the flood, first strike, ghost of onyx) excluding Contact Harvest, which I cant wait to read :) I got some action figures of halo 2, plan on getting all the ones of Halo 3 >_< I played the games Halo and halo 2 literally hundreds of times! I JUST LOVE THIS GAME!!! Soo, then halo 3 comes out and blows me away! I love the story, although it seems really short, but I'll get to that in a minute. I love the new weapons especially the assault rifle, I've always loved that gun, just sucks it only holds a measely 32 rds. but not a big deal, the new vehicles are awesome :) oh and lets not forget the new equipment, such as the infamous bubble shield seen in the best halo 3 trailer "starry night" and a bunch of other nifty toys each with their own tactical purpose/advantage that balance out the overwhelming odds you have to deal with at times. Now, if you've not read the books then what i'm about to say wont matter to you but to me, having read all the ones listed above it's very disappointing to not get to play as/with the other spartans that are "supposedly" in the story line. b4 halo 2 came out i thought to myself, damn theres gonna be all these big battles and such, it might just be "TOO" big of a fight even for the MC but nope he handles them all, no questions asked soo ok maybe not in halo 2 but in halo 3 you've gotta show them at one point seeing how big of a threat the prophet of truth presents aswell as the flood. but again I'm disappointed in that aspect...sooo what the hell.....will we ever see the other spartans? I would name them but it escapes me right now to name them unless I look it up in the book, but unfortunately cant find it right now, sorry :( The graphics i thought were top notch, expecially the cutscenes they definately cleaned up theyr act from h2 where when a cut scene appeared it seemed to fill in some object here and there, that was really annoying and gave the game and unfinished feel. but not h3 very nice!!! I love the cg scenes, very much like a painting in motion, just awesomeness :)
all in all the story wraps up nicely...also if you want to know the true ending you have got to watch past the credits...nuff said on that :)
In the end I give it 5 stars because I freaking love halo and everything about it, even though the story lacks a certain closure if you will and leaves unfinished business every where, but HEY maybe there will be another sequel to tie up its loose ends. Maybe its just wishfull thinking but I'm hoping for the best.
I played this game on heroic on the first run through, took me about 12hrs. playing it on legendary right now, and have to admit, its really hard. :):):) I dont know if most ppl know this but you can turn on a "Point system" for campaign mode that keep track of your number of kill total and also of the number of say grunts, brute chieftains and the like you've killed and your total amount of points scored. thats pretty nifty....especially to quell any arguments of who is the baddest spartan on the block, lol. Well, I hope this review helped if not enlightened you a bit on h3 and it's predecessors :) have a good day!
Customer Review: SUPER FUN! For about 13 minutes until you cry in your sleep.

No matter what, if you have a 360 and don't own Halo 3, buy a mac and don't ever play another game ever again.
But if you do own a 360 and might be thinking about buying Halo 3, don't- Just rent it. This is by far the most linear and boring Halo in the series. At times will you want to finish a level for the sake of getting on with the story and not the actual game.
If you do buy this game, do yourself a favor, skip the campaign and go straight to multiplayer.
If you don't have Live...well then you sir are screwed.
