After Halo 2, VVV didn't hold out much hope that he'd like the next installment, and he's found that the game met his low expectations. Check out his review for a counterpoint to all the pro-Halo 3 enthusiasm. He does like the game-- better than Halo 2-- but there's a bittersweet flavor to it for him.
Since I've been spending way too much time playing Halo 3, a lot of news has slipped by the last couple days:
Kotaku notes a new Xbox 360 bundle that includes Halo 3, destined for Europe.
TTL says Halo 3 is blam!ing awesome.
The Village Voice did find a few things to quibble with, namely that the game is too familiar, but they still did call Halo 3 the best Halo game ever, if not the best game ever.
I remember the months leading up to the release of Halo 2 still clearly. The date of release was firmly entrenched in my mind. After playing the Halo 1 campaign for three years all I could think about was that date. To be frank I was sadly disappointed. Thankfully for the third installment I had low expectations and now I am very glad of that.
This skull makes enemies avoid you more easily.
Put Lancaster Online on the list of sites that thought campaign was too short and that multiplayer is the real reason to buy Halo 3-- not to mention the reason to buy an Xbox 360 if you don't already own one.
GamesFirst thought the gunplay was excellent and the story "nonsense" but gave Halo 3 a score of 4 stars out of 5 anyway.
