"""@ libellule: You totally lost me at "Halo 3 is Halo 2 with somewhat better graphics."""
==> it is not me that saied this ...
""""Thats just a cheap way of saying "I don´t like it." Was is supposed to be a completely different game ??? It´s a series for crying out loud, everyone loves FF, for me thats the same game with better graphics in two dozen variations, but fact is I just don´t like FF so I´m honest about it instead of complaining about it over and over agoin"""
==> i m happy for you.
but this is not about game stlye that you like or not.
I never stated I dont like Halo.
I m sure I will enjoy it (im ok with FPS)
it is just that people are putting too high score for a game that doesn't deserve to get a so high score.
It is like, in some review, there are many fanboy that are trying to push their console and their big Halo3 weapon saying it is perfect : 10/10.
Are they affraid that nobody care of this game outside of Halo's fan ?
I believe yes.
It is like Gamespot that decided to put a article to push "their" game and counter the "Halo2.5 gfx" :
http://www.gamespot.com/features/6179901/index.html
just the introduction :
"Sometimes it can be easy to forget that the original Halo and its sequel Halo 2 both came out on the same console, the original Xbox. The Bungie development team was able to use its experience with the platform to make Halo 2's graphics superior to the original even though both games were designed for the same console. The graphics leap from Halo to Halo 2 was impressive, but it also raised our expectations for Halo 3. If Bungie could make Halo 2 look that good on the Xbox, just imagine what Halo is going to look like on the Xbox 360! "
an good demonstration of damage control and Microsoft biais !
""""" every video game ever made is Pong with somewhat better graphics (if you really whant to be that symplistic about things... and I don´t). If you don´t like it leave it alone, it´s not getting such great scores because of hype.""""
==> ofc it is !!!!

At least, a french review put 17/20 with a good unbiased review clearly showing what was good or bad.
(if you dont have Xboxlive : 14/20)
to compare with others games :
HeavenlySword : 14/20
Warhawk : 15/20
Bioshock 19/20
Time to Work !
