"...it's the addition of the Forge level editor and the saved films that give the game an even longer set of legs, legs that will probably keep you running at full speed until Bungie figures out where, exactly, to go from here."
--Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot
|
"Each brutal kill, explosion, and epic triumph can be relived ad nauseam here, making the saved films feature possibly the best new addition to a game series -- ever."
--Greg Orlando, Yahoo!Games
|
"Sure, no one aspect of the game is life-changing on its own, but perhaps the package as a whole is."
--Dan Hsu, 1UP
|
"Despite Halo 3 being more combat evolved than combat revolutionised, Halo 3 deserves a 10 because it's the most complete FPS experience ever released."
--Wesley Yin-Poole, Pro-G
|
|
"Of course, many multiplayer games are only as good as their maps, and Halo 3 features a great blend of levels: big and small, light and dark, symmetrical and assymmetrical, it's all in there."
--Will Tuttle, Team Xbox
|
"There's no first-person shooter on 360 that can equal Halo 3's blend of cinematic action, adrenaline-pumping shootouts, and male- (and female)-bonding gameplay."
--Hilary Goldstein, IGN
|
"By the time you're through with Halo 3, you'll have witnessed insane zealotry at its finest as well as the best Warthog driving level ever."
--Gabe Graziani, GameSpy
|
"While Halo 3 doesn't do a lot innovatively, it does everything right. They've had years to perfect their Halo craft, and they did it damn well this time around."
--Brendon Lindsey, GamerNode
|
"The soundtrack is still incredibly done and rises and falls appropriately, giving the game a cinematic feel at the correct times."
--D'Marcus Beatty, Cheat Code Central
|
|
"Halo 3 certainly won’t be the greatest game ever released and it won’t fulfill its premise without an Xbox Live connection, but as a game and multiplayer package for those who just want Halo, Bungie have hit the nail on the head."
--Jeremy Jastrzab, PALGN AU
|
"In being so uncompromising in certain ways, in offering incredible vistas and epic clashes on a whole new scale of grandiose; in delivering all of that with spectacular art and a profound soundtrack; finally, for offering 4-player co-op, it goes without saying that Halo 3 deserves to be in your collection of 360 titles."
--Uros Jojic, ActionTrip
|
"The visuals, guns, vehicles, enemies, set-pieces, musical score... they've all been cranked up to 11 to create an experience up there with the best sci-fi properties."
--Gavin Ogden, Computer and Video Games
|
"The single player is bigger and brawnier than anything that's been attempted on a console before. The multiplayer, which already shadowed the competition, has improved to the point of ridiculousness."
--Charlie Barratt, GamesRadar US
