Review Round-up: Halo 3

GamerSquad hand-picks a selection of the countless Halo 3 reviews that appeared online today, and asks: Spend or Lend?

[Kuest]

Huh? is Halo 3 out yet? Reviews? What do you mean Reviews? What makes you think I care, @sswipe? I don't, how many times have I told you? Now go away and maintain your strategic position at 711, we don't wanna risk any overweight, employee relatives cutting in line- and don't wake me until the you-know-what arrives.

*crawls back inisde cave*

Damm you for killing his mood. That cave thing cracked me up.

im sure this people are all on halo's and Microsoft's D*ck that they will sit here and give halo3 100 or 10/10 or 5/5. to me, thats all bullsh*t. that sh*t looks as same as halo2. yeah halo2 was a great game (for x-box) but halo3 is supposed to be next-Gen so how can it look and be the same as the original xbox halo2? thats like a new Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid game come out on PS3 and be the same as those on PS2...that would be dissapointing, trust me. you halo fans should be dissapointed. i know that if i was one of these crazy fans waiting on that game i would be dissapointed to be getting as game that is pretty much 2 year ago's game (in HD...so what?) but whatever....enjoy ya RE-release of Halo2 on ya "next-gen" console. (IDIOTS).

What's going out there? Who's that talking? It... Jesus, it sounds like a Fanboy. Better hide, I need to keep safe from the bullsh!t. Just at least before Halo arrives. Yes, yes. After I play it, than let them talk. *hurries back inside*

They are not pissed that 30 percent of the xbox 360 consoles are defective....and they are not pissed that Halo 3 graphics are not that much better than Halo 2...and they are not pissed that it is only 16 player max multiplayer online...and they are not pissed that gears of war, which is about 1 year old has better graphics than Halo 3 or any other Xbox 360 game.

2008 is looking grim for the Xbox 360....Sure Halo 3 is going to sale...but it ain't gonna move a lot of Xbox 360 consoles....I hope they are making a Gears of War 2 for release next year....that will help...Its good that Killzone 2 is comming out next year...

As long as the gameplay is good...and I will like the Forge...this is what saved Halo 3...the forge....

Online wise UT3 is going to own Halo 3...

[Kuest]

you guys just totally screwed the mood. WTF are you talking about? The reason why we gamers are not pissed is because HALO ROCKS. That's it, nothing more- no conspiracy- the game is simply just that good. And don't worry about 2008- Halo wars is coming (lol).

[WIIIS1]

Believe. Believe and Jump In. Its not too late.

Out of curiosity... Why do people keep saying KZ2 will sell consoles? I mean I have no doubt it will be a great game, but its popularity after KZ1 is kind of low and really if you knew nothing about KZ2 and saw it in a store would you give it a second look after you played KZ1? I would normally try and relate it to another game, but for the life of me I can't think of an example right now.

Anyways I really hope its a great game, that I myself might buy once the PS3 comes down to my price range, but sell systems? No it wont do that because of the current price of the PS3. I mean really would you pay 500-600$ for anther shooter?

However I bet that MGS4/FF13 combined will, especially FF13 in japan whew I bet that PS3 is going to fly there once it comes out.

I'm sure the multiplayer is great, just like Halo2 was no doubt...Let's get to the reveiw though, every reveiwer has stated that the team A.I. it terrible, the game is short, graphics are not on par with other FPS, story is lacking and gameplay is linear...Don't flame me just yet, but didn't Ign.com, gamespot, gametrailers talk wonders about Heavenly sword but because it was short and an (action game) with no multiplayer gave it a 8/10...Grapics10, gameplay9, Presentation9, no multiplayer 5/10, 7-8 hours 5/10 overall score 8/10...Let's look at Halo3....graphics 8/10, Presentation 8/10, gameplay 9/10, lasting appeal 9/10 overall score 9.8/10(WHAT!!!!!)...Now do you see what I mean about double standards....There is no way in hell if Halo3 was on the PS3 it would get that score, they would of tore a new azzhole and gave it the proper score of 8.5/10 and noone could argue about that, but just like always these bias bastards have to make it obvious..Just like Halo2 multiplayer was great with minimal flaws and lacking single player the same has happen with Halo3

[00]

I gauss thats why it gets great reviews.

[power of Green]

Let them vent. People reading the reviews or people that have played the game look at these people as pathetic haters.

Halo is a trilogy that uses next gen hardware to improve the last battles in a epic ending I think the fanboys were expecting FF like spin offs.

It will be intresting to see what reviewers actually traveled to Seattle to see and play the game so they could give a review.

[Stretchystrong]

Must be halo haters? I think they wrote their review to completely contradict every other review out there.

[MarioFromTexas]

Is so far the only honest reveiw out...They state the obivious flaws and deduct points the way reveiwers should do. Terrilbe team A.I., Graphic not on par with other FPS, 8 hours story, linear gameplay and you xbots buy the 10/10 crap...Come on now, everyone within the next week will know the true story, that Halo3 is being overated. Look at how many leak article about the weak azz story have come out...The multiplayer is great, but the single player is lacking and it's a shame we don't get accurate reveiws...10/10 what a joke

[WIIIS1]

Don't be hating too much Sony fans. You don't have to go kill yourselves as long as in your own little minds you can still harbor the delusions that GT5 > Forza 2 + PGR4, Killzone 2 > Halo 3 + Gears of War + Bioshock, FFXIII > Lost Odyssey + Blue Dragon + Mass Effect + Fable 2. What a way to live a life.

[THE HIVE MIND]

dude to all you wagon riders
that are saying h2 is h3
peep this
halo 2 was running on the xbox at 480 p ok
thats standered hi-def
not much visually going on right there.
specially after 3 years
ok
so step in to halo 3

to say that its the same is retarded and your just on the train to dis the game cause you blow at it or just want to bash it
cause you worship another concole

try the game out
i just beat the hell out of it on legendary
and as much of a bit*h that it was
i honestly had the best time on a video game ever
character builds- look great,lip synching on the characters are fantastic in fact masterchief has evolved every game so your obivously blind to say what has been said
and to the guy that mention metal gear solid 4
i found that sgt johnson even though he is of differ color i think bungie payed a little homage to him in the opening seen
odsts look fantastic and vehicles wiether running or not look great, trees look great,physics are mindblowing -from smacking dead bodies to blowing things up and getting blown up,

far from that im pretty sure
that good ole xbox cant even do the calculations
that make halo 3
i mean scale
if you have seen the scenery from the ark
or experience the sheer of character models such as 2 scarabs(which are about 80 ft hight and 30 ft long walking around blasting sh*t

even the flood as ugly as there are where something to fear.

even your a halo basher
try it
theres even props to you kill zone fans out there
with a delux spartan armour for you

so dont go dissing the game that i know a majority of you haters havent played
its a differ game than halo 2 and halo
combat evolved sluts.

oh and as for 2008
im not sweating it

condemended 2
alan wake
splinter cell
unreal tournament
cod 5(which will be out )
halo wars (gotta love ensemble for continuing)
and i coudnt give a crap about gears 2 so *dgaf*

oh and if the xbox even slips
halo 3 set up the ending for just in case(legendary try it )

and as for the 360 ending in 2010
great
a new concole
after 5 years its time for a new gaming platform anyway
so stick with your ps3
cause you will see both the nintendo/soft
on edge wit sota gaming concoles

just a word of advice

even though you sony sluts
hate halo
its because of its success
that your ps3 is turning into fps centered concole
in NA and Europe
you know it and i no it
so dont be a wagon rider
and get of halos jock
