Halo 3 Legendary Edition

I finally got my Halo 3 Legendary Edition on Friday. Don't know why it took Amazon till then to deliver it but at least I got it. And for everyone that is wondering.... yes it's totally worth the money in my opinion.

I started playing Halo 3 on Friday evening and finished it on Saturday.. well in the early hours of Sunday to be precise. I was very shocked by the ending untill I found out that there was more after the credits. Naturally I was so upset by the ending that as soon as the credits started rolling I turned it off. I think this is a really stupid way of doing it though because I was not the only one that did this according to the forums.

The game is a bit disappointing in a couple of areas. First of all it's basically exactly the same as the previous 2 Halo's. Gameplay has not changed at all. Then there's the graphics..... it's really not very good. Bungie decided to run the game in a strange non standard resolution of 1152x640... and this low resolution really shows as edges are really jagged. In some places it really does not look like a next gen title let alone the most hyped one in history. Another problem with the game is that it's very very short..... just over 6 hours in fact. Maybe some of the top players out there could finish it in even less. Thats really not very good value for money especially if you are someone thats not really interested in the multiplayer.

Overall I enjoyed the game purely because I love the Halo universe (I read the books, etc.) If I wasnt such a fan of the universe I would rate this game as very average.
