Customer Reviews

Great game but dont buy
I gave this game to my friend for christmas.
We played it for about 6 hours and got a disk read error.
We took the cd out of console and realised it hade huge cracks coming out of the inside of the disk.
I have to say Amazon treated this situation fantastically and sent me a replacement and apology immediatly. However recieved the new disk opened it, looked at the disk and there was a huge gauge in the disk. I could not believe it as we really wanted to play it again. After speaking to a friend at work he told me about the collectors edition having many problems with scrathced disks.

After telling amazon about my replacement they sent me an email saying they sincerly appologise and the following:

"It seems that this problem is more widespread than we originally thought, so we are unable to send another replacement. We will investigate the matter and try to remedy the situation; however, we cannot guarantee when the error will be fixed."

TO SUMMERISE:
It is a fantastic game and i really stress how great it is. But it is not worth the hassle of the poor quality disks being sent. I stress it is not amazon's fault they are fantastic customer service. I reccomend you buy the original halo 3. Amazon 5 stars Collectors Edition 1 star Halo 3 5 star!

It was worth the wait!
This final part in the trilogy is THE game that every Xbox 360 owner has been waiting for for the past 2 years. Anyone who has played a Halo game in the past will know what to expect here with 'Halo 3', only this time there are more weapons, more vehicles, more enemies and bigger missions and maps.

The single player campaign is fairly easy to complete on the easiest setting so it is well worth ramping up the difficulty settings a bit. In addition to this, the fantastic split-screen co-op mode returns allowing 2 - 4 players to simultaneously play through the campaign. There are also tonnes of different multiplayer deathmatches that can be played either on or off-line, which gives the game a lot more lastability long after you have completed the main game.

The graphics are some of the best yet on the 360 and are almost movie quality with massive backgrounds and ships flying past all the time and the attention to detail is unbeatable. The sound however isn't great as the music can be a little too loud in the cut-scenes, stopping you from hearing key information in the dialogue, which is at a slightly lower volume.

Overall this is definitely the best game so far on the Xbox 360 so far and is one that will be very hard to better. Any fan of Halo or the first person shooter genre should check this game out immediately as it doesn't get any better than this. Highly recommended.

WHAT A GAME!
In truth I went into this game with a little apprehension. And apprehension based on the fact that bungie may have spoiled such a hyped up game and so far great series. WELL THEY HAVEN'T! The game is brilliant, truly, brilliant. Visually it is stunning (especially if you own a HDTV) and the gameplay is just bang, bang, bang! Literally.
I think it is a good thing that Bungie have kept the campaign side of the game short and very sweet as it puts forward the best element of this game which is the online play.
In fact why am I sitting on my comp writing a review, I'm off to play

Buy and enjoy this game!
