The highly-acclaimed Halo series is back and this time the human species is on the brink of extinction. You play the Master Chief, the last known survivor of a secret military project – born for combat. On Xbox 360 for the first time you will fight to save humanity and uncover a secret so incredible, it will change the galaxy forever.
Microsoft’s science fiction shooter draws to a close on Xbox 360, as Master Chief returns to finish the fight.
Microsoft’s science fiction shooter draws to a close on Xbox 360, as Master Chief returns to finish the fight.
The Halo series almost single-handedly turned Microsoft’s original Xbox into a must-have new console. The cliff hanger that’s been teasing gamers since Halo 2’s ending will finally come to the end in Master Chief’s next generation Halo outing. Gameplay remains mostly unchanged, with only a number of small tweaks being made to the beloved formula. Master Chief can now carry equipment such as shield generators and defensive screens, which add an extra strategic layer to the run-and-gun formula.
Multiplayer has been given a far more comprehensive overhaul, with new maps and gameplay modes making an appearance. The Forge allows players to build and create their own map layouts from scratch, dropping in weapons, vehicles and equipment even during a match. The replay function saves every single Halo 3 match to Bungie’s servers, which can be replayed, edited and sent to friends.
Halo 3 doesn’t disrupt the series’ already outstanding weapon balance and compelling storyline, but manages to create some wonderful new additions gamers may not have realised they even wanted. As the classic trilogy draws to a close, the multiplayer component will make sure it stays popular for years to come online.

Fisih the fight
Halo 3 is a great game. It is a little bit older and the graphics are not so amazing for today's standards. But it is still one of the best games for the Xbox 360. The multiplayer is probably the strongest point of Halo 3. The package also includes a mini poster of Master Chief and the Arbiter - which is a plus.

The best FPS... EVER
Halo 3 builds upon the concepts of Halo 2 in ways that you'd expect, but there are also new modes and options that send the series in exciting new directions.Satisfying storyline that simultaneously provides closure while making you wonder what will happen next Four-player online co-op is a lot of fun Forge mode map editor lets you do some extremely crazy and unexpected things Web integration makes sharing new maps and custom modes easy.The campaign is structured in much the same way as past Halo games, with multiple chapters and effective streaming that ensures you'll see load times only between chapters. There are also lengthy vehicle sequences to break up the on-foot action. You'll pilot the classic Halo vehicles, such as the Ghost, a hovering one-person craft that's fast and deadly, and the Warthog, a dune buggy with a turret mounted in the back. You'll also see new vehicles, such as the Brute Prowler, which is a two-person vehicle with turrets. Like in previous games, the vehicles are fun to use. Also similar to previous games, the artificial intelligence can't drive very well, so if you're playing alone, you'll usually want to grab the steering wheel rather than the weapons. The sound in Halo 3 is a good mix of old and new, much like the rest of the game. You'll hear the familiar Halo theme music and variants thereof. You'll also hear plenty of great new music, including one suspenseful track with a heartbeat-like sound that manages to get your heart pounding as well. Most of the voice cast from Halo 2 returns to voice their respective characters, and they again turn in terrific and believable performances. You'll also hear a ton of combat dialogue, both from the marines that fight by your side as well as the enemies you're fighting, who don't seem to appreciate it when you kill one of their comrades. As games start to consider user-generated content, it's becoming clear that more and more games will be ready to give you back just as much as you're willing to put into them. On the surface, Halo 3 is every bit the sequel you would expect it to be, in that it delivers meaningful upgrades to both the story-driven and competitive sides of the package. However, it's the addition of the Forge level editor and the saved films that give the game an even longer set of legs, legs that will probably keep you running at full speed until Bungie figures out where, exactly, to go from here...
