'It's well-tested, well-honed, and polished--all qualities you'd expect from Bungie, but the developer's talented and hard-working team shouldn't be taken for granted.'

'There is still a lot of fun to be had with Halo 3, mostly for veterans of the series, just don't try to convince me that this is the end all be all of FPS gaming.'

'The story just isn’t put-together well enough, the graphics are disappointing, and the levels have you constantly running back and forth. Yes, if all of these things were rectified, the game would be spectacular. But they’re not.'

'What it comes down to is that Halo 3 is still a great playing first-person shooter that manages to get just about everything right.'

'Despite Halo 3's overall greatness, we can't help but feel somewhat let down by the narrative's lackluster conclusion (but stay tuned after the credits roll for a coda that hits just the right note).'

'Halo 3 may not fully live up to the obscene hype, but it certainly survives it.'

'Where lies the big innovation in the third iteration? It looks better, and plays about the same, but it doesn’t take many chances—the "forge" system and the new custom games are excluded from matchmaking, and the neat theater option isn’t really an upgrade to the gameplay.'

'If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be “solid” – the weapons feel just right, the sounds represent impact perfectly, and the sound effects themselves are entirely suitable.'

'There's no first-person shooter on 360 that can equal Halo 3's blend of cinematic action, adrenaline-pumping shootouts, and male- (and female)-bonding gameplay.'

'It simply combines the best parts of Halo (wide-open, diverse environments) and Halo 2 (dual wielding weaponry), and throws a few new weapons, vehicles and enemies to the mix. The result is a thrilling and ultimately satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.'

'Overall, Bungie has crafted another masterpiece that serves as a fitting end to the trilogy (no big cliffhanger here).'

'This is truly the perfect way for Bungie to close out the trilogy. With its fun, if a bit short single player story, four-player online cooperative support, tight multiplayer gameplay and unmatched customization options, Halo 3 lives up to the unprecedented hype.'

'It's a fight worth finishing so if you haven't already, get out there and do just that.'

'It's hard to imagine a feature of this game that someone won't love... Sure, no one aspect of the game is life-changing on its own, but perhaps the package as a whole is. After all, Halo 3 has enough content to keep you stuck to your controller for weeks, if not months or even years.'

'The new features - Forge, Saved Films, Coop - are frighteningly addictive. And if you don't like any of that, you're always welcome to edit it until you do.'

'The best game yet in one of the best FPS franchises of the era. Better than either of its predecessors, Halo 3 still can't quite escape the category of flawed masterpiece - but this time around, the flaws are so minor that even the most churlish of reviewers would be hard pressed to mark the game down.'
