Napalm Riot

Intro
================================================================
Halo 3 is the end of the Halo trilogy as it's going to be developed by Bungie themselves, and thus answers many questions. It has a good campaign, about on par with that of Halo 2, and an excellent multiplayer. While the campaign isn't as good as that of 1, or the multiplayer as good as 2, it still stands as a great game, and one of the best and most fun on the 360.

Graphics 10|10
================================================================
The graphics in Halo 3 are gorgeous. As you start out in a jungle on Earth, it all looks beautiful. The land looks great, and the water is some of the best I've seen in a game (actually, is the best I've seen in a game). And Bungie's graphics team did not let the weapons or characters slide either, making them some of the best modeled objects I've seen

Sound 10|10
================================================================
In this final Halo game, O'Donnell and Salvatori have outdone themselves to make this game's soundtrack just as good as the rest. From the moment I heard the music in the E3 '06 trailer, I knew it would be a magnificent soundtrack, and it doesn't disappoint. The sounds are also all very fitting, and the game brings more dialogue to the scene, especially some funny scenes done by the Red vs. Blue team (Rooster Teeth).

Controls 9|10
================================================================
The game maintains more or less the same controls as the previous two games did, although Halo 3 introduces the idea of equipment into the Halo universe. From bubbleshields to energy drains to grav lifts to mines, the idea may not be unique, but it definitely was a new feature for Halo 3 that is very interesting. They also give the added bonus of allowing higher jumps by jumping off the equipment as you throw it.

Story 10|10
================================================================
As the Halo trilogy goes to its conclusion, it maintains very high levels of storytelling and cinematics. The elites now on your side (more or less), the new main enemy in the covenant are is the brutes, in addition to the ever pervasive flood. You go through the covenant invasion on Earth and more as the story progresses, only playing as the Master Chief this time.

Fun 10|10
================================================================
This game is my most played game on the 360 mostly because of the multiplayer aspect. It's multiplayer is well done, and provides for many different game experiences that are all fun. In addition, the game has a new forge mode where you get to change and create new maps using objects, and a theater mode where you get to go and watch your greatest triumphs (or worst, but funniest, defeats).

Replay 10|10
================================================================
This game is extremely replayable, but mainly for the multiplayer aspect. While the campaign is enjoyable, and fun to replay every so often, it is not the massive wonder that C.E. had. The multiplayer though is every bit as fun as that of 1 and 2, although the launch maps were not at the quality of Halo 2's maps were. But now that there is some downloadable content out and some great new maps, it is great fun to play over and over.
