First off i will start with telling you that the graphics are not
revolutionary like Gears of War or Bioshock but they are still good.
It's the multiplayer that is the masterpiece of this game.
So ill begin with the Campaign. As you know the story starts off where
Halo 2 finished, Master Chief crashes down on Earth and you pretty much
start off from there. I'm not going to tell you what happens for those
people who dont have the game yet. The Campaign is alright to start
with but it builds up towards the end with a great last chapter. It's
just about worth to go through it again on the higher difficulties for
the achievement points. There are four difficulty settings: Easy,
Medium, Heroic and Legendary. The one which you want to be starting off
with even if you are a Halo novice is Medium because the enemy AI is
far too easy to overcome on Easy. Heroic is a challenge if your on your
own and Legendary is pretty much impossible without doing it on co-op.
To the best part of Halo 3 then, the Multiplayer. Bungie have made
improvements to the multiplayer. You can now record video clips or take
screen shots of matches or missions from the campaign and upload them
on to your file share so everyone on the Halo 3 network can see them.
They have created a game mode called Forge where you can edit the
weapon and vehicle placements in a map and play on that map on line
with other people. You can play with up to 16 people on Xbox Live.
Overall Halo 3 is a great thrill ride that shouldn't be missed.
