Halo 3 Review (Xbox 360)

Halo 3 picks up pretty much exactly where Halo 2 left off, so if you never played the second instalment, do yourself a favour and do so before starting Halo 3. I know it sounds somewhat cliché, but playing through Halo 3’s single player campaign almost feels like playing through a movie. As a Halo fan, I found that I was so invested in the story of Master Chief and Cortana, that it genuinely felt as if I was watching the final part in a movie trilogy at times - something that I’m sure Bungie will be pleased to hear.

…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 that simply the best console based online gaming experience ever, and it’s clear that Halo 3 represents yet another triumph for the Xbox 360. [9/10 -TR Recommended Award]
