Steam&GOW III.

Meh, Left 4 Dead 2 requires Steam to install the demo. Might aswell wait till the demo comes out on the Xbox Live for Silver Members. Faster download AND no Steam!

Anyway, GOW III looks impressive:

Introduction: Halo 3.
Halo 3 is a game which supports both Multiplayer and Singleplayer, and is only available on the Xbox 360. Previous games of Halo did considerably well, but not good enough to be considered as a ‘Awesome’ FPS game. Halo 3 is the first in the Halo Series to be introduced to the Xbox 360.

The fun factor for Halo 3.
Halo 3’s fun factor lies on its variety of Alien or Human weapons. For example, the Humans have their Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, Beam Rifle and Frag Grenade while the Aliens have their Energy Sword, Needler, Plasma Pistol and the Plasma Grenade. Their variety of powerful and useless weapon variety gives the game a +1.

Control and Gameplay.
The control, like all the other FPS for Xbox 360, are basically the same, except for other minor changes. Playing a FPS game on a controller is harder compared to playing the game on a PC, which has the mouse and the keyboard, allowing easy aiming and more steady movement. The Gameplay is like any other FPS games on a X360, but the game interface looks much more cluttered up compared to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Graphics.
Halo 3’s graphics on a regular Xbox 360 is something like Crysis on a PC with all the options maxed out (High Detail etc;). This makes Halo 3 a very outstanding game in term of graphics. But the multi-coloured aliens are a slight-problem. Purple on a Green Background? Ugh.

Conclusion.
Even though the review seems to say Halo 3 is a impressive game, it’s really not what its all cracked up to be. Halo 3 does not deserve all the editors choice at all because It’s probably 1 level lower than other FPS such as Crysis, COD 4 etc;. I wouldn’t recommend people buying it, but it’s your choice.

Halo 3 Review.

Halo 3 should be categorized under the “Bottom list of FPS Games”.

The theme of the game is like a combination of Aliens and monsters from a Disney show. Some of them look brutal while the others, not.

The weapon choices are unique but they do not satisfy people’s desire for a really awesome weapon. Over some time, the player could get lost because there isn’t much directional help. One point the whole squad is there and then in another scene all of them are gone.

It’s quite difficult to navigate around in the game because it is cluttered with boxes, plants, mechanical stuff etc; you can’t find your way around places. Sometimes there seems to be an exit to your destination but it ends up in nowhere.

Halo 3 does not deserve the 9.5 Rating or the Editors Choice award. There are better FPS Games out there. If you still insist on buying Halo 3, well, it’s your decision after all.

Any idea how I could improve this? I mean, writing game reviews isn’t easy. Gamespot’s reviewers actually wrote about 2 full pages about this game. I didn’t even reach half a page.
