Halo 3 Review (Xbox 360)

When a game generates over $170 million in the first 24 hours (USA alone!) there is clearly something exceptional about it. Some might disagree when I call the Halo franchise one, if not the most important hallmark in gaming, but Bungie’s games up until now never failed to impress. Is Halo 3 the great game it was supposed to be, or are the incredible sales all due to Microsoft spending millions on marketing? PC zealots will undoubtedly go with the second option while the Xbox360 fans are already lighting the torches and sharpening their pitchforks to defend the title.

..Halo 3 might not be perfect, but it is still one of the best shooters released this year on any platform. It is also the most cinematic experience you will get from the moment you start up the game to the time you finish it about 7-8 hours later (playing on your own on normal difficulty). And let’s not forget how huge the multiplayer is bound to get, with hundreds of thousands playing the game just a day or two after release. And last but not least, if we beat two Halo games before, why the heck should we not finish the fight in Halo 3?
