Well, I gave in. I had a lust to play games like Banjo-Kazooie: N&B, Ninety Nine Nights, Lost Planet (PS3 version sucks..) So Picked up the 332$ Elite with halo 3, and I said to my self: "I hate halo, but I've never played a Halo game before."

So I poped it in, just finished the first mission, I must say I can see the love for this game. Some things that surprised me...

1) This is a nerds campaign. There is nothing about what goes on in Halo that is anything other than a Sci-fi lovers wet dream. This game is in no way a "cool game" like gears of war is.

2) Pacing... well, the pacing is absolutely stunning. The game is really fast passed and its lots of fun to play.

3) Gameplay: Simply stellar, controls and variety in weapons/movement is amazing. I've used like 6 different sets of weapons in one mission. The jumping, aiming, melee just feels so powerful, so much fun.

4) Interface: I've never seen better, it is a work of art in every way.

5) Sound: Impressive, Rivals Metal Gear for sure.

6) Graphics: I know Halo gets a lot of hate on for this, but Halo 3 looks fine. I have absolutely no complaints. It runs very smooth, has nice lighting, and the textures are not nearly as bad as people make them out to be.

7) Fun: Massive points here, the game is so much fun to play.

Complaits:

I dunno if master chief speaks in every game, but he should just shut up, its god aweful. That's the only thing.

 

 

Overall: Amazing game. This is what gaming is about. I don't care about who plays this game. I know most of the people who play it are the people I cannot possibly stand, but it doesn't matter. This is a great game and for now on i'm judging games on playing them and not on who buys them / what system they are on.

 

Proud owner, wish I got it when it came out. Off to finish the game!

Can't wait to play some multiplayer after i get the rest of my single player games out of the way.

Haters stay out, you just are not giving this game a chance. Overhyped? Absolutely! Bad? Not at all, it's fantastic.

Welcome to the club. I kind of feel bad for you though - Halo 3's campaign is generally considered the weakest of the 3 I believe. If you had only experienced Halo:CE back in the day when it was knew... Now there was an experience. It was unparalleled.
