Halo 3 rated

[b2thaza]

ah yes , but bear in mind that these reviewers dock marks for a game being in a series, halo 3 and metroid 3 both got docked a few points because of the 'weve seen the characters before ' thing , i think that is a terrible reason because if it was a great concept, theyll hardly change it, 9.5 for a trilogy game is outstanding, that wont hinder halo from selling MILLIONS!! it is THE most hyped up game, like , ever!!!!

Cian, what exactly is wrong with a game getting 9.5? For one thing Halo 3 got full marks for a lot of reviews, and when IGN gives it 9.5 it's a disappointing game? I'm sure you'll be up in our faces again when GTA 4 comes out and IGN only gives it 9.8 And God help you if you tell me to "lighten up".

What so you were expecting it to get a perfect score or something? No game is perfect and i'm sure everybody involved with the making of Halo 3 are extatic with the review scores.

And i'm sure every Halo fan out there is going to have a complete blast playing it. I know i will!

Had to laugh at the Metro spread this morning - "forget game of the year, it's game of the century" - The Sun.....

...and the Sun knows what about gaming other that how much they're given to promote it?....

I've nothing against the game myself, I'm sure it'll be a cracker....but I really am sick to the teeth of all this "best game ever" rubbish.

ive nothing against halo 3 but like you i hate how the mass media just latches on to videogames when they feel like it and think they know what they are talking about. it makes me soooo mad. one week they are doing a story on the best videogame ever, next week videogames are being blamed for another shooting. god i hate the media.

well... yeah. i kind of was expecting a perfect score. they gave one to soulcalibur and zelda ooc. with magazines like gamesmaster saying "26th of september could be the day the 360 won won the war" i was kind of thinking it would be, y'know considered the best game ever by most people.
still bungie are probably happy and it's probably a great game anyway. i just can't wait to taunt the guy in my class who's getting this today but doesn't have xbox live!
