I really enjoyed the original Halo and Halo 2 was a lesser game compared to Halo due to several faults (some terrible weapon balancing, more linear gameplay, *that* ending) but I didn't want to be disappointed with Halo 3 and the first few levels? Incredible. Really, really brilliantly realised. As with Halo 2 though, as soon as the Flood come along, you know the party's going to be ruined somewhat. I love driving about with my marine buddies shooting the crap out of things and feeling like I'm part of something epic. I don't like shooting up tough-as-fuck monsters which could easily be resurrected by teeny Flood. The penultimate level was horrible to play - an absolute pain in the ass. The last level? Ohmy. Oh god, no. Like The Maw except with explosions and plenty of falls to insta-death. It bugged the heck out of me that after all that shooting stuff, the way to save the planet was... driving! Of course! I've not had a chance to play the Multiplayer, but I'm sure it's fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the Halo fanbase jumped straight onto the Multiplayer instead of playing Single Player. 10/10 means the game is perfect. Halo 3 has some flaws, making it not actually perfect. I'm sorry if I've angered dmauro with my comments, but I'm sure he'll forget them and enjoy more MP action while wearing his homemade Master Chief suit.

As with Halo 2 though, as soon as the Flood come along, you know the party’s going to be ruined somewhat.

Hence why he might seem a bit... sensitive. Also, despite my aversion to the genre, I look forward to playing this upcoming Friday night at his place! And Joe, if you're reading this, Dave wants you to get the game so he can play you via Live.

Maybe you should add a disclaimer to your journal about your motion sickness from FPS games because you might start to get people flaming you for not getting excited about Halo 3 as well. Either one would be equally disagreeable though.

The last two levels are absolutely dire. Not sure why Halo 3 is getting 10/10 scores. The last two levels are absolutely dire.
