    2 stars A good but over hyped game., October 24, 2008
    I love first person shooters, I've played tons of them making me wonder why this game is so praised. Half of the aliens are comedy relief who crack lame jokes, run around like Ewoks with laser guns. The other groups of aliens run around in colorful suits of armor making them less of a threat and more of a joke. The ally AI was a joke, most of the time I'd have to drive around dodging while my AI lackie missed every shot. Taking the turret over I had nothing more to do than laugh as he plows head on into the enemy tank and I get turned into bacon strips.

    The game seems to want to be the movie Aliens but more light hearted. It was generic shooter all the way and even more so online. I'm missing something I'm sure since the game wasn't what people were telling me it was. Most of the guns sound like toys and Master Chief looks like he's made of plastic. A minor complaint I have is the game isn't HD, it's 640p scaled up to 720p so that's standard definition confusing me since it's supposed to be a next gen game.
    The helmet is nothing more than a tiny decoration for you to put on a shelf to gather dust and house spiders, making the price insane for something like this.

    In short Halo 3 is nothing short of a generic shooter which isn't bad, but it doesn't live up to the hype in the least, it's nothing ground breaking and in my opinion it's not worth 60 dollars never the less the price you pay for the helmet pack, a good rental at best.

    5 stars best game of 2007, October 9, 2008
    awesome game, like the extra helmet too, the updates make it a lot more enjoyable
    5 stars What you get, September 9, 2008
    Part three of the greatest video game in human history...check.
    Many additions without subtraction in the ongoing process of best game design ever...check.

    The thing is, if you can't describe by the meter where the cave people in the game are, you probably wouldn't pick this up. If you can, you probably already have it.
    But if you're somehow on the fence, I'll take a shot at describing what the Legendary Edition provides.

    1. The Helmet - Wow. Appx. 9 inches of Master Chief goodness. A nice display size without being intrusive. It might seem that an all-plastic Spartan head would be lame and fake looking. But it ain't. My only issue is that it's so close to being actual size, why not make it actual size ?

    2. DVD extras - Worth the price of admission alone: The three main guys behind the primary aspects of the game commenting the viewer through every cut scene from Halo 1 & 2. As a (rabid) fan, I couldn't think of a more interesting investment of a couple of hours. It was like candy to hear Jones, Staten and O'Donnell elaborate on the foibles of production, failed concepts and what might have been in the Halo universe. And far from a self-congratulatory attempt at promotion, the entire dialogue is a hilariously self-deprecating voyage of perfectionists pointing out the plot holes and oversights of both the cut-scenes and series itself.

    3. DVD extras - Torn straight from the pages of the Halo Bible are (very scientific looking) descriptions of the various Halo species, including population and interstellar capability ratings. Only a nerd of colossal proportions would find this cool, and this one did. Throw in a primitive, yet satisfyingly challenging game of Warthog physics, some artistic rendering aspects and you've got the basic blueprint.

    No buyer's remorse here.






    4 stars story a little short, August 31, 2008
    this was a pretty short halo episode, but it's a sweet online game. the legendary edition extras are well worth the extra cash
    5 stars not for the faint-hearted or light-headed..., August 28, 2008
    i've had this game for a few months already..., and to me, this game is probably one of the by-far most talked about game in recent 'history'. the graphics are pretty intense. story line is good too. i haven't heard of much bad opinions about this game at all. to me it's another microsoft success.

    while playing the game, it gave me the feeling as if i'm in the story. sometimes to the point that i get dizzy because i'm too into it. perhaps because i do get slight motion sick if i concentrate too much into the whole environment. i had to put down the controller a couple times to rest. this whole package (legendary edition) basically includes the game, the making of the game dvd, as well as a commemorative helmet which you can't wear (although it'd be cool if you could). definitely makes a great gift; i've given away a couple already.

    so lastly, like my title..., it's definitely not for the faint-hearted nor light-headed...
