Review for Halo 3:
- Halo 3 is an interesting mix of established protocol and intriguing new stuff. The gameplay isn’t so much different from Halo 2. Don’t take that as a negative, because it means that Halo 3 plays extremely well, with the same types of light tactical considerations that have made the series stand apart from other, faster-paced shooters.
- The balance between your guns, your grenades, and your melee attack has always given Halo a unique feel in the genre, and those same considerations apply today, both in the campaign mode and in multiplayer. Halo 3 also offers new weapons and items, such as a host of Brute weapons.
- Halo 3 introduces the concept of “equipment”. These deployable items have a variety of effects. An example is the bubble shield. You can walk through it but bullets an explosions bounce off it. There are also other items that makes your shield regenerate faster, and others that drain enemy shields.
- Previous Halo
games let two players go through the campaign, but Halo 3 lets 4 players go through the campaign and lets you do the whole thing over Xbox Live.
- The sound in Halo 3 is a good mix of old and new, much like the rest of the game. You’ll hear the familiar Halo theme music and variants thereof. You’ll also hear plenty of great new music, including one suspenseful track with a heartbeat-like sound that manages to get your heart pounding as well.
My Rating for Halo 3: 9.5 out of 10
