Microsoft - Xbox 360 - Halo 3 Review

I'm actually kind of disappointed with this game.  This game just wasn't all everything made it out to be, and in my opinion, wasn't worth all the hype.  Now, I *LOVED* Halo 2, but Halo 3 was a let-down to me.

The gameplay is great, even the storyline isn't too bad, although it's pretty short.  Even the new guns are pretty awesome.  I also love the new grenades.  The ability to customize your character is awesome, and it's something I think Halo has always needed.  Nobody wants a bunch of identical Spartans or Elites running around.  The gameplay and online play gives this game the 4-stars.

They changed way too much from Halo 2, in my opinion.  There's no longer a 4-grenade limit for each grenade, which is understandable, since there are 2 different types of grenades to work with, keeping it an 8-grenade limit, like it was in Halo 2.  Reloading is completely different, and it might just be me, but the gameplay is a lacking a bit compared to Halo 2.

Who knows, maybe Halo 3 just takes time before I end up loving it, like Halo 2 did.  The next game is never as good as the one before it, as I always say.  I was disappointed with Halo 2 when it came out, too.  It was nothing compared to Halo 1, and I love it now.  Regardless, I'd say it's worth a try.  I didn't get too much online play in, and that's usually the best part.
