As Halo was the flagship game for the Xbox when it first came out, so too was Halo 3 and I can easily see why. Halo 3 is a game that was made to Bungie's exacting standards of workmanship and gameplay and once again this comes out on top.
The graphics and environments are absolutely stunning and many times I found myself shot dead just because I stopped to look at part of the scenery.
This time around you don't have Cortana to guide you as she has been captured by the Gravemind a huge creature that is linked to the Flood. What you do have though is a... well sidekick is not quite the right word, more a partner, this time in the form of the Arbiter, you also get help along the way from his Elites. It turns out that your gonna need your help as there are more new Covenant baddies for you to face.
Also the AI is vastly improved on the first two games, but that's always the case when you have a more seriously powered CPU at your disposal.
While there are only nine levels in the entire game, each level is so vast and engrossing you don't notice the small amount of them.
I feel that this chapter is a fitting end to the Halo trilogy, but I couldn't help but wonder what the final cut scene was meant to imply.....
