Ok bungie has now lifted the ban on posting reviews so there alot of reviews due in any time now ill update the post when they all hit

The first one is in

TEAMXBOX REVIEW:


Gameplay (9.7):

It’s definitely Halo, but that’s definitely a great thing. The campaign is hands-down the best in the series’ history, and the multiplayer is as addictive as ever. Our only knock is with the difficulty, which wasn’t quite as tough as we had hoped.

Graphics (9.5):

Aside from a few slowdown issues here and there, this is an excellent looking game in both the single- and multiplayer arenas. We particularly loved the HDR lighting, which is the best we’ve seen in a game to date
AUDIO (9.7):
Marty O’Donnell’s score is better than ever, perfect setting the tone for each of the levels while never being too overwhelming. The sound effects are stellar, too, as is the voice work (the battle chatter never gets old).

Longevity (10):

You finally have a reason to stop playing Halo 2 on Xbox Live, as this takes the cake as the most customizable multiplayer game of all time. Throw in Forge and you’ve got the makings of a true addiction.
Innovation (9.8):
From Forge to Saved Films to the Bungie.net integration, this game has something to wow everyone. Best of all, it’s only going to get better with time.

SCORE: *9.7*

Gamespot

The good:
* Satisfying storyline that simultaneously provides closure while making you wonder what will happen next
* Four-player online co-op is a lot of fun
* Forge mode map editor lets you do some extremely crazy and unexpected things
* Web integration makes sharing new maps and custom modes easy.

The Bad:
* Rewinding saved films doesn't work quite like you'd expect it to
* AI-controlled Marines can't drive to save their lives (or yours)
* Inevitable flood of prepubescent online players sure to hamper your enjoyment of the online modes.

SCORE: 9.5/10

DAMMIT! Now I am going to have my stupid friends tell me that Halo 3 is the greatest game ever. I was actually hoping that it wouldn't be very good. Unfortunately, these scores match Bioshock's scores.

Theres no doubt, its a really good game. but honestly, its BUILT around multiplayer. No one cares about the story, as you only play it for like 5 hours. At the most. I finished it VERY quickly. made me angry. I was hoping there was more to campaign, but what are you gonna do.

yea i breezed through the campaign on normal waaay too quick. Play it on heroic and i think it will take me double the time its so much harder. Plus co-op campaign is always good
