Despite some of the oft-heard "not as pretty as Gears" remarks, GameSpot thinks Halo 3 looks pretty good:
GameDaily ranks Halo 3 pretty highly, giving it points for improving on its predecessors:
FiringSquad says that Halo 3 mostly delivers on the expectations built up by the previous two installments, providing a fitting conclusion to the trilogy:
So has Halo 3 lived up to the massive attention and hopes for fans of this franchise? Based on playing the single player campaign and checking out its community and editing features we would have to give it a qualified "yes" but again we will have a separate review for its online multiplayer features.
Most everybody likes Halo, but not everybody loves it. They don't have to. Some find things they enjoy, and ignore the rest, like Kotaku's Brian Crecente:
While Halo 3 doesn't reinvent the genre, it doesn't need to. What it does instead is provide fans of the trilogy a sort of satisfying ending and a much more satisfying experience.
True to their nature as a technical site, what impressed Ars most about Halo 3 was its solid framerate:
Louis Wu at HBO is right-- Halo: The Future of Gaming is one of the funniest videos, ever. It takes a few minutes to set itself up, and commits a few boo-boos in the process (in 1994 Bungie was in Chicago, not Kirkland, and Halo 1 came out in 2001, not 2002) but those are easy to forgive when the jokes start rolling.
This is not a spoiler. I have not played a leaked copy and am just speculating!
These days it seems like everyone at Bungie is giving interviews. Of course that's not really the case; Bungie is just much larger than it was back in the days when you could attend a MacWorld show and meet practically the whole company.
The Master Chief teabags a PlayStation 3 and steals Halo 3 in this Gamebrink video linked over at Kotaku.
Luke Smith has posted up the last Bungie Weekly Update before the game goes into everyone's (or mostly everyone's) hands: a How-To article on Bungie.net's new features.
Still nothing about fileshare RSS feeds, but it does look like there will be a high degree of integration between your fileshare and the Bungie.net forums.
Looks like some of the guys over at The Hushed Casket managed to pick up copies of Halo 3 early-- they're already unlocking achievements! So far there are no matchmaking lists online, apparently.
Not much more to say: the man really is nuts. Check GamePolitics for the story and the full complaint.
A few more pre-launch interviews of Bungie folk out there:
