Yup - what's funny given the thread is that the reviews are actually pretty consistent so far, falling into two basic bands:
1 - very glowing reviews which note the SP campaign faults but decide that given how important the MP is they'll more or less ignore them
2 - very good reviews which note the same things but chose not to simply give the weaker SP a free pass because it's all about the MP
Personally, if you include SP I believe it should be weighed equally, and hence for me not just Reach but titles like MW2 would lose a point right away on the SP.
As one review I read said, if you love the MP only or that's your focus. Almost perfect. If you love SP only or that's your focus your going to be a bit dissapointed and find merely a good game.
Arguing about a Meta of 93 is hilarious though, really. Given the obvious comparison to Uncharted 2 I'd said the clear focus isn't so much Halo 3 scoring higher but Uncharted 2, the PS3s flagship critical darling (or one of them) scored more on average.
One other thing, I also get the impression from most reviews that a title featuring Master Chief and a more Halo 1/2/3 like campaign, vs what is a more ODST like campaign, would have also garnered higher scores - interesting how the reviewers seem to feel such a difference there.
I'm guessing the first big non-Bungie Halo will be a full Halo 4 featuring the Master Chief.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
