Editorial Reviews:

  • Halo 3 is the third game in the Halo Trilogy and the thrilling conclusion to the events begun in Halo: Combat Evolved. Master Chief returns to finish the fight, bringing the epic conflict between the Covenant, the Flood, and the entire human race to a dramatic, pulse-pounding climax. The Covenant occupation of Earth has uncovered a massive and ancient object beneath the African sands, an object whose secrets have yet to be revealed. Earth's forces are battered and beaten. The Master Chief's AI companion, Cortana, is still trapped in the clutches of the Gravemind, a horrifying Flood intelligence, and a civil war is raging in the heart of the Covenant. It's all been building to this--a desperate, final war that leads to a soul-shattering climax of epic proportions. Take control of Master Chief to defeat the Covenant and destroy the Flood as a measure to prevent the annihilation of the human race. Online multiplayer, the game builds upon the party-based social multiplayer experience from Halo 2 with new weapons, vehicles, maps, gametypes, and added customization features.

  • Summary: I thought it was great
  • Comment: Most of you have probably already played the game and want to know what comes with the Legendary edition.
    The things that come with the Legendary edition are great. It Comes with the regular game of coarse, but also comes with a second case containing a DVD on Commentary of making Halo. It has like 2hours worth of footage which gives you a lot of information on the making of Halo and Bungie. The DVD also comes with 3 free themes and gamerpicture packs that are really cool. It also contains some Machinima epsiodes including Red vs. Blue and commentary where you actually meet the Red vs. Blue creators. The Spartan Helmet that comes with it is Life sized, but the disappointing part is that you can't wear it. It's meant to be put on the Halo 3 stand that comes with the packaging, but it makes a great edition to your room. Overall, I think this game gets a 5/5, and if you haven't played halo before, or didn't like Halo CE or Halo 2, you should at least give Halo 3 a chance. The Forge and Theatre mode make the game stick out from the series and it's just plain a pretty cool game. Halo Reach is also coming out in only a couple months so take a look at that too.

  • Summary: I only bought this for the helmet and dont regret it.
  • Comment: I played the campaign first and I would have to say that I still don't understand the game. I never played the first 2 games and when I played Halo 3, I did not do the missions in order due to friend's availability. From the beginning you start and have an elite with you as a partner and then you have bad guys fighting along side you in certain missions and then you have the flood everywhere. Next is the little ball that tried to kill you in the last mission and nothing ever makes sense. Ill leave it at that. If you co-op the campaign, 2 people are Master Chief and the other 2 are elites.

    The reason I bought this was for the helmet. I have a stand next to my TV that has the Modern Warfare 2 night vision goggles and the Batrang. The helmet is not wearable and the stand has space to keep some games or movies in. The helmet matches the color of my ODST controller that I have.

    I am very happy with my purchase at half the price than what it came out originally. I would definitely recommend this item to anybody since you can still find them new and the price keeps dropping on Amazon.

  • Summary: Buy this game only..................
  • Comment: If you want to play campaign. If your just in it to play multiplayer on Xbox Live then get Halo 3: ODST. It has all the maps you would have to buy and a new campaign without Master Chief.

  • Summary: Fun to play ...
  • Comment: Normally I wouldn't get the "HALO-3 Legendary Edition", but since it was on sale for the same price as the deluxe edition, ... :)
    In the end the helmet is definitely for HALO fans, ... it's a cheap piece of plastic made in China, which is not even wearable.
    Having said that ... Fans will enjoy having it ...!

    As for game play and graphics; I actually expected something more of the quality level of graphics as seen in Half-Life and Unreal Tournament, but the graphics is nice none the less. As for game play; those of you who are Half-Life or Unreal tournament fans - this game will be a little disappointing. Limited interaction with objects makes it feel "less advanced". Going through the levels, I have a strong feeling that this is almost like a cheap copy of what Half-Life is about. Even the bad "alien" like levels (at the end, Half-Life has the same flaw).

    However, after playing it for a while, I can say that I did enjoy the game, but can't wait for the next Episode of Half-Life though.
