The Halo games were always the best reason to by an Xbox and now the final part in the initial trilogy of ground breaking first person shooters is set to raise the bar for all Xbox 360 games. Well known for their secrecy, Bungie have officially revealed little about Halo 3, but what is known is that the new game features an Earth completely overtaken and controlled by the Covenant, as they seek a secret hidden Forerunner weapon.

Although little is known about the single player mode, more has been seen of the multiplayer, with various beta testing schemes going on in both secret and in public. A number of new weapons and vehicles have already been revealed including a new assault rifle, the new Spartan laser anti-vehicle weapon and a new hand held shield device for Master Chief that can create a far more effective protective shield around you. New vehicles include the ATV-like Mongoose, a new variant of the Warthog and the new, more powerful, Brute Ghost.

Of course the most important new feature that every new fan is interested in is the graphics, and they are looking predictably fantastic. With lots of technobabble, new features like high dynamic range lightning and pre-computed radiance transfer means the game will not only play great but looks amazing too.

Manufacturer's Description
The Mission: The Covenant controls Earth. The Flood is unleashed and on the loose. With the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance, Master Chief is the only one who can save the human race. The entire epic story arc has led up to this moment. Master Chief, the last of his kind, is a warrior born for combat and bred for war â€" and is humanity’s only hope.

After stowing away on a Forerunner spacecraft, Master Chief, a genetically altered, cybernetically enhanced Spartan supersoldier, must race back to Earth to stop the Covenant once and for all and save mankind. With his artificial intelligence companion Cortana in the grip of the Flood’s intelligent embodiment, Gravemind, Master Chief and his allies are vastly outnumbered, but the stakes are too high to do anything but face them head-on.

In Halo 3, the third installment of the legendary epic, the war has come to a climax; the Flood continues to grow in numbers and strength, the armies of Earth are scattered and decimated, and the Covenant threatens to activate the Halo, effectively destroying all life in the galaxy. Master Chief’s mission is to stop the Covenant, destroy the impending Flood threat and, ultimately, save mankind.

Customer Reviews

Halo 3 is GREAT!!
Halo 3 is the best for online entertainment, brilliant fun with your friends. Only bad thing is when you play against stupid noobs that use needlers!! NOOBS!!

don't let those bandits rip you off
i hate halo i don't see why it is so popular when the online play is terrible, my advice to you is don't let them rip you off like they did to me if you want a realistic and genuinly brilliant shooter get call of duty as it is one of those games which is difficult not to play once you have played it.

Really addictive.... but missing something
I got this in a bundle with my xbox and its very addictive. It's amazing multiplayer especially on forge (which is a death match). You can play up to 4 players either on the story or on forge.

Single player - very easy but is missing something. I don't know what it is its just not there to get it's extra star.

Multiplayer - dont care if theres something missing too engaged with killing my friends and laughing at character being blown up by rocket launchers and throwing crates at each other.

Gameplay - 4/5
Shooting - 4/5
Graphics - 4/5
Multiplayer campaign - 5/5
Multiplayer forge - 10/5

If your the kind who likes killing aliens this is your game. But i'm just here to tell something about it is just not making it the 5 stars.
