Halo 3 review for Andy

Personally I never was a big fan of Halo. Played the first one on the com; didn't see it through the end. Never touched the second one. Today, I just finished the third in singleplayer. Halo 3 is a great game. Enjoyable all the way throughout. Significant fun points of this game is the ability to wield two weapons at once in both hands and the numerous fantastic vehicular action. I was supposed to play this game in stages over a few days. But today I just couldn't stop playing it until the end. Thus, I am booked for Halo Wars when that comes out. Great stuff this Halo. Definitely one of the best games available on the XBOX 360.

But I don't like the Halo storyline or setting. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi. Because of that I don't think I will be playing this game again anytime soon. I prefer to play more military style games. I do regret a bit that I spent so much money on this. If I had waited a bit longer I could have borrowed someone elses copy when they were done with it. But I still want to get Halo Wars when that come out.

If I had to compare this with Gears of War, I think I would choose that simply because I like the darker more serious, more military tone in GOW. Also, I find GOW closer in nature to my favourites like Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Call of Duty 4; the next one on my list.

UPDATE 22/10/7: Played Halo3 on local multiplayer today. Multiplayer is definitely Halo3's strongest point. I' feel like i'm finally getting my $60's worth. Halo3 is the Counterstrike of America.
