bit-tech Review: Halo 3

[Chierin]

So, is Halo 3 the best game ever? No, I don't think so, but it is bloody good. The most obvious comparison will be to last month's BioShock, but that is somewhat unfair. BioShock is a single player only game, which means that far more development time could be spent on the graphics and presentation. It's also worth remembering that Halo 3 couldn't really break new ground in the single player campaign, since Bungie had to think about the continuity with the previous two titles - BioShock was under no such constraints.

One thing's for sure though, I haven't enjoyed playing any Xbox 360 game more than Halo 3, whether in single or multiplayer mode, and that just about says it all.

Halo 3 isn't the ground breaking epic that many had expected it to be, specifically in the visual department. But what you are getting is a well written, well paced and well presented end to the Halo trilogy that should keep any fan very happy. Add to that simply the best console based online gaming experience ever, and it's clear that Halo 3 represents yet another triumph for the Xbox 360.
