There is an argument that every game that generates any hype is a game that has received to much hype. There are always those that are looking to harsh on an experience. The truth of the matter is Halo 3 has had massive sales, and might end up being the best selling game of this year. Might end up being the best selling game on its respective console, and might be the best selling game of this generation. Numbers do not lie.

A legion of gamers feel the series is a fantastic one, and Halo 3 is the pinnacle or the definitive vision of the series. That said you have to say all these gamers are complete idiots who do not know a fantastic game when they see one. Which comes off sounding egotistical. Great games have great sales. Fantastic games have fantastic sales.

I have yet to figure out what the legitimate gripe really is. Other then the fact that someone really loves another game, or thought another game was better. Rarely is their a legitimate complaint about the gameplay, the graphics, the sound, or the mechanics. Were there any I am sure we would read people moaning about them constantly.

The hype is obviously justified by the quality, and it has received ratings that show exactly that its a near flawless game. Buyer feedback has had few if any negative comments about the game itself. The sales further bolster that claim. Even without the marketing this game was bound to have outsold Madden on its first day.

We have seen the reviews. We have played the game. We have seen the sales. Exactly what more is required? What exactly proves this game is not overrated?
