My Review of Halo 3
Not official in any way shape or form, and just something I was inspired to try after reading an IGN review. Not my best work, not serious, just an experiment.

What can I say about Halo 3? For a start it is the best multiplayer game in the world, go away Call of Duty 4 with your rubbish matchmaking service. It utilises Xbox LIVE’s services perfectly with, compared to other games anyway, a brilliantly fast matchmaking service. That said, it can be a bit laggy sometimes, and recently, what with the new multiplayer maps, it quite often... kind of doesn’t work. When it does work though, the maps are all very varied and all of the weapons and vehicles are all in good places for exciting and intense gameplay. However, some other people argue that there is too many power weapons all clustered together.

All of the menus are very good and they never freeze up. There is also an ingenious feature called the Forge that allows you to place new weapons and objects around the maps or even create whole new maps. Creations range from standard maps that just have altered weapon placement or vehicles to completely insane variants that can feature things like falling bombs or random objects like tanks falling on your head while you are trying to club someone to death with a massive hammer.

The Campaign mode features a relatively deep storyline and follows straight on from the events of Halo 2. There is a huge range of different enemies to kill, from short little cannon fodder to  massive bullet sponges wielding giant guns that shoot destructive green goo. The Campaign isn’t particularly long, but unlike the other Halo games it appears to focus more on multiplayer than Campaign.

Graphics: 8/10. Nice smooth animations and luscious, colourful backgrounds. Interactive objects are a bit jagged around the outside though.

Sound: 10/10 Whether it’s a Grunt whistling and squeaking behind you or a Brute roaring in your face you get very immersed in the game.

Campaign: 7/10 Respectable but couldn’t hold a candle to the previous Halo games.

Multiplayer: 9.9/10 Aside from the lag, flawless.

Learning Curve: 45 minutes aprox. Set out in a very intuitive way so anyone could be blasting aliens in the middle of the face within minutes.

Gameplay: 8/10 Will keep you interested for months.

Overall: 9/10 The 2nd best game in the world after Reach.(and maybe CoD 6). Well done, Bungie.
