Quite simply, Halo 3 is the reason the Xbox 360 exists.

The Onion
Quake 3 Arena raised eyebrows in 1999 when it ditched first-person story altogether in favor of multiplayer deathmatches. To this day, many gamemakers are still reluctant to pick a side. But Halo 3 stubbornly sticks to its narrative guns, even though

Xbox Addict
After six long years of blood, sweat and tears, it's over. Halo 3 has arrived, and although it doesn't mean the end of the massive franchise that has built up around Bungie's masterpiece, it does bring the tale of Master Chief's fight to a satisfying

Eurogamer
Halo 3 still can't quite escape the category of flawed masterpiece - but this time around, the flaws are so minor that even the most churlish of reviewers would be hard pressed to mark the game down.

G4 - X-Play
Halo 1 had us toting toaster-oven-sized Xboxes & TV’s to our friend’s houses, and screaming back and forth between rooms. Halo 2 let us do the same, without all the luggage (and without pants on) thanks to Xbox Live. Now the third installment in

Better story with a non-hateful ending; dozens of excellent new weapons (Brute Hammer), vehicles (Hornet) and features (Forge, Theater); four-player online co-op.

Pro-G
There is absolutely no way any Halo fan will be disappointed by this game. You better believe the Chief has triumphantly returned. Now buy the game, cock the Assault Rifle, and finish the fight.

Gaming Age
Well, it's here... the fight is finally finished and the fat lady has sung. Quite possibly the biggest, most incredibly hyped "3" in videogame history (besides the legendary Super Mario Bros. 3) has arrived and it was indeed entirely worth the wait. Halo

Games Asylum
Although claims of Halo 3 being the ‘biggest entertainment release in history’ aren’t fallacious you can’t deny that Microsoft’s marketing men have perhaps gone a bit overboard with the Halo 3 hype. We remember back in the days of the

After six years of enduring long waits for episodes of the greatest console shooter franchise of all time, the storyline comes to a true end with the release of Halo 3. But like the end of the Star Wars trilogy (yes, even the crappy Episode I,) I feel

It’s hard to imagine the fate of Microsoft’s videogames adventure without Master Chief. Consoles tend to struggle without great launch titles and the original Xbox had one of the best. Halo: Combat Evolved gave the platform real momentum and set a new

I have finished the fight. After three long years of anticipation Bungie has finally released their legendary opus to a nation of salivating Halo fanatics; most of which stood in line for hours to be the first to own their copy of the third and final

Is there any point in trying to keep our emotions in check for this Halo 3 review? Should we start by trying to remind ourselves of the series genesis with Halo: Combat Evolved on the Xbox console and how it redefined the console shooter? Perhaps then

Halo 3 has arrived on the heels of a massive amount of publicity and hype, but the question is whether the game delivers on its promise is quickly answered once you play the game. It's single player mission is excellent crafted and delivers some solid

Halo is popular: ridiculously popular. With the exception of iconoclastic naysayers who accuse anyone who likes fun of being a Ritalin-popping simpleton, people like Halo.

Sometimes hype is a bad thing, sometimes it is a great thing. In the case of the blockbuster hit Halo 3 it was a very good thing. Screaming past all previous video game records Bungie’s Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 had enormous copies of it preordered and on

Reviewing a game of this scale and magnitude can be a tricky affair: What do I leave in? What do I take out? How can I say something about a game that hasn’t already been said by all and sundry? Anyway, that’s not your problem, it’s mine and to be h

Videogame franchises don’t come any bigger than Halo. The original title helped put Microsoft’s Xbox console on the map. Then came the sequel, which set sales records while frustrating gamers worldwide with its cliffhanger ending. Now the third and fi

I’ve been somewhat dreading the release of Halo 3. Throughout the years, I’ve been very vocal in my opinion that the Halo series is unbelievably overrated and nothing more than a slightly above-average first person shooter. I still stand by this opini

Halo 2 ended with Chief on the back of a covenant ship, and Cortana, well…for those who are new to the series (if any), I won’t say. But the first thing we hear is Cortana’s voice; she chose Chief, not because he’s tough, or brutal, or can lift wh

I've been sitting here for two hours now trying to figure out how, exactly, to write this. I've started four different reviews, and scrapped them all after one page. The fact of the matter is, Halo 3 is unlike any other game I've ever played or reviewed.

There will be plenty of aspects for fans to nitpick, but it's hard to argue against Halo 3 as the most complete game available on any console.
