Halo 3

By Anonymous (cnet.com.au) Read the full review

Awesome game, good graphics and gameplay; not to mention it's probably the best online multiplayer game I have ever played! I did a bit of tinkering with Forge and it's fun, easy to use and addictive. Sucks how they haven't even started coding for PC...

Online multiplayer is great ; Forge is great ; Slitscreen multiplayer is very good ; Graphics, sound and physics are pretty good ; It's a Halo game, so it's guaranteed to be good

Campaign is apparently very short ; Graphics and stuff aren't exactly groundbreaking ; Not even started being made for PC and will never, EVER be released on PS3

Cooly, Cooly, Cooly, Cool.

Great Graphics.

Why Can't it be on a PC? I spent 3000 bucks on a big gamers pack on the PC.

Halo 3: the complete review

By IDG staff (pcadvisor.co.uk)

There's no denying it - Halo 3 is the biggest computer game in history.

Halo 3 is as complete a game as we've ever played, and it feels good to finally get a sense of closure from the Halo series. It's going to be really exciting to see all of the coverage over the next couple months for Halo 3, and even more exciting to...

We're also excited to see what sort of saved films are going to pop up in the Theater. We're sure we'll see some great frags, tutorials vids on how to make some killer jump and amazing speed runs of the single-player campaign. Anyway you slice it, Halo...

Halo 3 isn't the ground breaking epic that many had expected it to be, specifically in the visual department. But what you are getting is a well written, well paced and well presented end to the Halo trilogy that should keep any fan very happy. Add to...

Halo 3 Multiplayer

Tired of playing alone? Finishing the fight is a lot better with friends.

Manufacturer's Description


The epic saga continues with Halo 3, the third chapter in the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo franchise. 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 picks up where Halo 2 left off, answering questions around the fates of the beloved protagonist Master Chief and his artificial intelligence sidekick Cortana as they struggle to save humankind from destruction at the hands of the alien coalition known as the Covenant. In addition to the rich storyline, Halo 3 continues the franchise's grand tradition of delivering innovative online multiplayer experiences via Xbox LIVE, the world's largest social network on TV. 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.
