What can I say Halo is alway's fun and especially it's multiplayer I dont have much too say because everyone that wanted this game has it but if you are on the fence in purchasing it, do not hesitate it is a fun co op game in the story mode and also online is just super fun I actually think it's on par with call of duty 4 and slighty below warhawk on ps3 wich is my favorite online game.

First of all, I was never a huge Halo fan. Could be for many reasons (I never had an XboX, I don't consider this Science fiction, wasn't good at First person shooters, etc.) In fact I was adamantly against it.
I think I warmed up a bit to it, when I started playing it a bit more and got a feel for it. However, when I got a 360, my friend brought over Halo 3, and showed me online multiplayer. That's what hooked me in. If you like playing online, this is a must buy. Now I didn't buy the legendary edition or anything like that, just spent $25 and bought the regular one used. By far it is one of the games I play the most, strictly for the online play.
What else I like about this is the Forge and Theater. In Forge, you can edit maps to creat new obstacles, and then share them online when playing with a group. Same goes for theater, in which you can go back through past games and take screen shots or video clips of any victories/cool stuff that happened and upload those onto you file share as well. Same goes for game variants. There are a lot of options to vary up the online experience.
There are drawbacks, most of which you have little to no control over. There will be a system lag at times, and you can't really do anything about the other players online. Remember this is the internet, and most people use it to slander others annonymously. For those that talk trash, there are muting options and you have the option to boot a player that is guilty of team killing, although you'll have to assess if it was an accident or not. Pass that, you have to ignore a lot of the small stuff.
All in all, the online play is what makes this game good, not really the story (in my opinion).
 A real gem and a must have! November 17, 2008

Halo 3, the amazingly highly anticipated sequel to the highly successful and critically acclaimed Halo franchise, the third and final installment. This is easily one of the best games out with taking full advantage of the power of Xbox 360 with expanding on everything that has made the franchise great, adding a wealth of technical and gameplay advancements. The game design has included next-generation, high-definition visuals, enhanced AI, an advanced real-time lighting engine and of course new weapons, characters, and challenges. Halo 3 promised an unparalleled first-person shooter experience and, in the end, we got just that with the most compelling and engrossing story in the franchise's history. Halo 3 also redifines the multiplayer experience by boosting a lot more fun than that of the previous Halos and introducing a mode of character customization. With still being the number one multiplayer online delivering on entertainment.
Halo 3 is a phenomenal piece of work and is easily one of the best game available on the 360 with loads of replay ability and plenty of entertainment and a unique multiplayer experience that is highly recommended. If for some reason you haven't played this game yet, I recommend that you do so. A true gem in the gaming industry and is simply breathtaking.

I actually bought this as a replacement for my original copy and was ecstatic to receive this in the mail (I actually was, weird huh?). For those of you who have never heard of the best FPS (First person shooter) game ever created to the XBOX 360 console, the graphics are amazing compared to the first two games and this game has many additional objectives other than just beating the game. Finding things like skulls (to unlock special armor) dramatically increase the games replay value.
One of the best abilities of this game that made it worth buying twice for me is my online multiplayer addiction. People of all skill levels play together, sometimes based on skill, sometime not (players choice), I made friends online and invited my personal friends to join as well,
this game is an easy A+++!
