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?

 Na, I was bitched at for using a balanced scale otherwise everything would be out of 10.

What the hell is "mattel based sounds"? That doesn't even make sense..

 walk into the nearest toys section of any store, find a toy gun, pull the trigger then you will understand.

sorry but i dont agree

The Halo song is for me one of the best songs ever.

I would even say that the Halo Theme is one of the best games theme of the last years like the Zelda theme and MGS theme(s).

Everytime when I hear this I get goosebumps:

The music is for me the best part of the game.

both me and the guy from Zero Punctuation both agree on the mattel based weaponry. 5/10 of the audio score is based off of the music meaning if I separated the music from the sound effects it would be like giving it a perfect score for the music as its great music. Music would be 5/5 sound effects 1/5

 

and why are you complaining anyways, my overall score is 9/10 stop pissing and moaning its an A.

Okay, I have yet to play Halo 3, so I want to hear people's various onomatopoeic interpretations of the sounds.

Is it like "pew pew! ZORCH!"

Or more like "BKOOM BKOOM! THRMBLE!"

Please advise.
