My Ratings:
Graphics: 11/15 – Not the best a 3rd generation game should look but still nice.
Audio: 6/10 – Mattel should sue for copying their audio
Game play: 13/15 – Very strong game play, awesome multi-player
Replay Value: 15/20 – There's only so much to do, even with Forge.

Overall: 9/10 - Awesome game but still has allot that could be improved.

First off, this isn't a criticism of your review structure or anything, I'm just curious. You're using what looks like a weighted 60 point scale which is fine (though I don't agree with some of the weights but to each his own) and you gave Halo 3 a 45/60. I'm just curious how that turns into a 9/10 and not a 75%.

Like I said, not a criticism, just curious.

Its not average.The final score is what I believe it deserves taking into account what I gave it in the ratings and what it offers in a standpoint to the rest of the genre.

What's the point of weighting the scales then? Is it just to show you think x is more important or just as important as y?
