Sorry, but you coloured the wrong game in that sentence. Killzone 2 lived up to it's hype. Halo 3 did not. Halo 3 was the most hyped game ever and yet was only a good shooter, not the best thing since sliced bread that microsoft told us it would be.

How do you know? What has a game to do to live up to its hype?
Reviews? 94 on metacritic
Playtime? Still no. 1 on Xbox Live
Sales? 10 million units should be enough.
Stop this fanboy-stuff. Halo DID live up to its hype. It actually surpassed it.

No, its totally opinionated as to whether a game lives up to its hype. I see Halo 3 the same as I see GTA4; both failed to live up to their hype.
Yes, both games sold a shitload, got fantastic and somewhat biased reviews.....but they both failed compared to their previous installments and left alot of fans quite dissapointed

So how would you measure a game then? By how loudly fans proclaim a games brilliance on the internet? We know that you can't force people to play a game for over 150 hours on average and you can't just make the game number 1 on Xbox Live consistantly. Furthermore Sonys efforts to make visually pleasing games have been totally wasted because the highest selling games have not been the most visually pleasing. If Killzone 2 got a 91 average with the 'best visuals' this generation then its gameplay would have to be deficient compared to a game which got 91 average without as good visuals with all else being equal.

You can't really measure a game, more just play it yourself and see what you think of it. The way I persoanlly measure whether or not a game lives up to its name is by seeing how it compares to its previous installments. Now I know KZ2 had a undescribable amount of hype, but it was leaps and bounds better than KZ1. Halo 3 and GTA4 to me and many did not beat their previous installments.

Honestly, this sounds like some contrived definition of "hype" fabricated to back your point. It really does not have much merit considering Halo 3 was released so long ago and is selling on par with Kill Zone 2. A few posters have already disproved your logic, but you seem to be a persistent overly zealous Sony "supporter."
I am not even a fan of the Halo franchise, but for anyone to say it didn't meet its hype...just screams bias. Even if you did not like the game, Halo 3 was a phenomenon in terms of sales and its multiplayer critical acclaim. I am sure Microsoft is quite happy with the Halo franchise, especially in comparison with the Killzone franchise. Ask yourself, would Sony prefer Killzone 2 type sales or Halo 3 type sales? It's not rocket science.
