A few parts of the game disappointed me a bit. The whole Cortana cam (the flashbacks?) was tedious. Especially the part where she says ‘This is how the world ends’. It wasn’t.

But the rest of the game was mint. Ripping turrets off their mounts is so satisfying. The ‘powerup’ thing seemed a bit like they wanted it in the multiplayer and just put it in the single player. It was a little too arcade for me - the previous games had quite a nice arcade / realism balance but I felt Halo 3 was a little on the arcade side. I hardly used the powerups, even while playing through legendary.

Legendary was good, I don’t think I will do it again but it was fun. The game seemed to be about taking all the parts of the previous games that people liked and making them bigger and better.

The first level is amazing, so lush, they really did justice to the Xbox 360 and jungles in general.

I can’t help loving achievements on the 360 but it disappoints me that some of them are for multiplayer only.
