| Lost tears of Kain said: Last appeal only a 9.4? its the most lasting game ive ever seen, except mmorpgs like WoW and few get time put into it like halo does. Graphics i can more or less agree on, the faces are sad, but the lighting is gorgous sound, more or less agree on gameplay so low? Very VERY few games have this lvl of fun in its gameplay, and i know its nothing that great and new, but what FPS actually do that? Seriously why would Halo change its gameplay so much, when it was so danm fun and perfect, why screw it up? Game deserves at least a 9, its by far the best game to purchase with 60 bucks, very VERY few games give so much replay, let alone so much fun, cant agree with this review |
When I try to give a score to a game I try to think of a game that might get a 10 and another that would get something close to a 1 in that particular catagory. With lasting appeal, I do think of something like an MMORPG as a 10. To me, Halo 3 ranks slightly below that because those people wanting single player won't have much and the multiplayer just does rank slightly below an MMORPG in my honest opinion. Only a 9.4 is an incredible score and anyone should be happy with anything over a 9.
As for the gameplay, the laziness just seriously bothered me (wonderful exteriors boring interiors and overall bad layout, pacing, and flow) and the basic level design was just bad in the single player. The multiplayer level design is pretty good, but they are all also very simple symmetrical maps (the ones I've played at least). They are nice but not anything at all special. Anything that breaks a 9 needs to be special and Halo 3's mutliplayer maps can't do that and they especially can't do that with the campaign maps dragging them down.
The gameplay is good but I do want change. Gamers constantly complain that EA doesn't change their sports games rather than keep it the same, why should Halo be the exception? Bungie went nice and safe with their gameplay so they get a nice and safe 8.2 for their gameplay (which is still a very good score).
