Halo 3

Introduction

Halo 3, developed by Bungie, has been the most long awaited game in history. It has certainly lived up to its name, and despite the final scene appearing on you-tube, it still stunned gamers across the world. It picks up where Halo 2 left off, with Master Chief "Heading back to Earth to Finis this Fight", and Cortana in the hands of the Evil Gravemind. The Arbiter is also joining Master Chief as they aim to rid the flood, and defeat Truth.

Graphics

The graphics on Halo 3 really are next gen. The graphics have always been of a high standard but on Halo 3 they really are out of this world, you can pick out the exact shade of Sgt. Johnsons skin, not sure why but you can, the only problem with this is that it changes throughout the game. The scenery is brilliant also and is something completely different to anything ever seen before.

Sound

The sound is another thing that has been improved by Bungie in the latest instalment, all the voices has great clarity, and the Grunts even speak now. If only to say "He was my best friend.

Instructions/Ease of use

If you have ever played the halo series before, you won't have much trouble. But the introduction of the equipment button has caused problems, the torch is now on the d-pad, stupid but Oh well, reload is now on the right bumper, change grenade is on the left bumper, and enter vehicle is also right button. The only invisibility on Halo 3, is if you find an orb, this also brings back the over shield.

Storyline

The story unfolds that the Halo rings are on standby, and the Prophet of Truth is heading to somewhere to set them off. You must find truth and stop him, and then rescue Cortana from the clutches of Gravemind, the flood leader. Master Chief and the Arbiter begin on Earth, but move around a great deal.

Characters
