Halo 3 Legendary Edition Reviews

• Halo 3: The Friggin' Helmet Edition

  
  By A3K91X9X2ARDOK on 2007-10-05
  Halo 3 is the game to buy right now. One would think that wouldn't be the case with that monstrous ad campaign that's made it's way not only to Burger King but to the sides of Pontiac cars but believe it or not, this game lives up to the hype and surpasses it in just about every way imaginable.
  
  Whether you play the game in single player mode or online against or alongside other people, you're pretty much guaranteed to be entertained from start to finish. I particularly enjoyed the storyline to the single player game this time around as Halo 2 wasn't exactly the most fun I've had playing a single player campaign. Not only that but you can play with up to three others online in cooperative mode and it's a lot of fun if a little too easy, even on Legendary difficulty. Graphics, sound and control are all exactly what you'd expect from the franchise and they've added so many bells and whistles to all the modes and all the new modes that what you're left with is an astounding package that is pretty much guaranteed to give you plenty of entertainment for the next couple of years, no question.
  
  Now.... here's the question: which edition do you get? I've got the Legendary edition with the helmet and while it is a cool piece of art, it is a little steep for what you get. You get an extra disc of content as well, so it's not like you're paying an extra $70 or so dollars to get just a helmet but it is a lot of money to blow on a game, no matter how you cut it. The extra disc has one feature worth mentioning: a film of all the cinematics from the first two games combined into one two hour plus "movie", if you will. It's pretty cool, not to mention it makes for a good refresher on the events from the earlier part of the story.
  
  I guess it's just a question of how much of a fan you are and whether or not you have the cash to blow. I wouldn't consider this a must-have on the blood of all your children and your children's children but it is kind of cool in a strange kind of way. It's about the same size as a human head and it's detailed and instantly recognizable.
  
  I don't regret purchasing it but at the same time, if you look at the special edition for the upcoming GTA IV, you do notice that you get a lot more stuff (and pretty cool stuff it is) for a lot less. If you've got the cash to blow on it and you don't mind, I'd say go for it but only if you're really sure you want a fancy-shmancy case for your games. And if you don't have space for it, don't even bother.
  
  And no, you can't wear the thing. It's just for show.
  
  

• Legendary Edition of a Legendary Game

  
  By A2689A2EVQSEJJ on 2007-09-27
  With the literally thousands of reviews of Halo 3 available throughout the internet and print media, I'll let you decide for yourself. Instead I will focus on merely THIS edition of Halo 3.
  
  First off, if the price tag didn't let you know, this is for serious fans only. If you're a casual fan, or maybe you like having the occasional local match, youd be better off with the Limited edition, or just the normal. This is purely for those who live for Halo.
  
  The packaging is mythic. It's a hell of a lot bigger than it looks in these pictures. The helmet is the size of an adult's head, plus the base. The box is wrapped with a VERY cool Legendary Edition poster, so be careful opening it. Inside it's pretty straightforward. A helmet, a Base, and two DVD cases.
  
  The helmet is beautiful. It's plastic, so it wont weigh a ton, but man, it looks the part. it slides over the base, which is also quite impressive. on the back of it is a serial number.
  
  The discs. first off you get the game disc in a black dvd style case with a darker cover art than the other editions. this disc is identical to all other editions.
  
  the other dvd case has two dvd's in it with special features. one is the same as the limited edition, with behind the scenes, interviews, etc etc. lots of fun there, very comparable to Halo 2's special eidtion.
  
  the 2nd bonus disc has a few features on it, like the voice of cortana going on a PR tour, bonus episodes of Red vs. Blue and This Spartan Life, and a full bestiary which was really cool for any fan of the canon.
  
  the base has a lot of room for DVDs in it. I took out the bonus dvd case and keep halo 1 2 and 3 all in there, they fit nicely, with room to spare.
  i think the legendary was originally going to get the metallic case like the limited edition, hence the wider space in the base.
  
  Was it worth $130? yes, but barely. The helmet is what really sells it. the extra bonus features are cool, especially the Red vs. Blue episodes, but unless youre a MAJOR and im talking friggin MAJOR halo fan (as in accounts on halo.bungie.org, read all the novels, own the soundtracks, have downloaded every movie on XBL, and have a Halo 3 Zune) then its not necessary.
  
  

• Return of the King

  
  By AY3Y9ROK6LRPI on 2007-09-25
  Halo 3 - Circa 2007
  
  
  GOOD:
  - Four-player online (or offline) co-op Gameplay allows two; three, or four players play through the game from start to end. A co-op player can come into the game at any time and leave at any time (note only one of you will play as the Master Chief, while another will play as the Arbiter, and the other two players will be Elites that work with humans)
  - Great looking graphics and animation, that look even better then Halo 2, F.E.A.R. and just as good as Bioshock, while these graphics might not look as good as Gears of War do to some people these graphics still are some of the best seen to date.
  - Intense multiplayer action online through Xbox Live with matches as small as one on one and as big as 16 players (and offline with out using Xbox Live using either spilt screen, or system link). Halo 3 is set up similar to Halo 2 in the sense that you're given a rank when you play multiplayer (this rank can go up or down at any time) this rank is representative of your skill and your matched with others of your skill type, that way new unskilled players and hardcore veterans will not often play against one another, unless they make a special match themselves that ignores rank.
  
  BAD:
  - Confusing plot to new players of this franchise - Playing Pervious games and read the Halo Novels will fill you in on the details, if you are incline to learn them.
  - No Clan Support (like in Halo 2) - This might get fixed in a future patch
  - Game is considered short to some (Campaign Story Mode).
  
  IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
  - A Sci-Fi First Person Shooter with quick pacing and vehicle combat.
  - Co-op and online versus/team games is the big draw here.
  - NEW MODE: Forge is a mode that lets you edit all the maps in Halo 3, while you cannot rebuild the maps themselves you can in this mode, add and take away any and all of the objects from vehicles and guns to spawning points and flag zones. This is all done in real time and you can invite friends to this mode while your customizing the map(s), they can play a multiplayer game while your doing this (instead of just waiting for you) and if you want you can forgo editing the map and join the game at hand as either a player or the map editor (who looks like 343 Guilty Spark), while playing as the map editor you can still add and take away any and all objects from vehicles and guns to spawning points and flag zones any time you want.
  - NEW MODE: Theater Mode is a video editor that lets you record and play back any and all matches from Campaign, Multiplayer, and Forge modes from the point of view of any player either in first person or third person (even in a orbit-cam where the camera circles around the player) all in real time (you can also pause this at any time as well as fast forward and rewind), even use your camera to fly around the match and see the match from any angle you want, Don't forget you must save your videos before you turn off the game or you will lose said videos. Also you can take a picture at any time and save it to your Xbox 360 then download your picture at Bungie.com.
  
  GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
  - Halo 2 (Xbox)
  - Halo (Xbox)
  - Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
  - Bioshock (360)
  - Gears of War (360)
  
  ADDITIONAL NOTES:
  - There are bonus items scattered through the Campaign Story Mode called Skulls getting these "Skulls" will make the game harder (by doing things like turning off radar for the rest of the Campaign Mode your playing it) but will also greatly increase your meta game score for the Campaign Mode.
  - There are two different limited collectors editions of this game. One is called the limited edition, which comes in a metal tin and has a bonus disc (with behind the scene videos and such) and also comes with an art book. While the other limited edition (called Legendary edition) you will find an art book a mini poster two bonus DVDs (with behind the scene videos and such as well as a collection of all the cut scenes form Halo and Halo 2 and themes you can download to your 360) And the it comes with a plastic Master Chief Helmet to keep your DVDs in (Helmet as big a volley ball).
  - At Bungie.com you can sign up and pay a small fee to upgrade your Halo 3 account (default is free) to hold more space on their serves for your videos/pictures/clips that you made.
  
  

• Is the helmet worth it?

  
  By A3G4P85XJCCZEH on 2007-09-26
  The game is the game, nothing different. You can find reviews of that all over the web.
  
  The other special features, like behind the scenes, etc., you can find those all over too.
  
  The HELMET: That's one thing you can't get anywhere else. This review is for people who want to know: is the helmet worth it?
  
  In short: YES
  
  When I first saw pictures of this version with the helmet, it seemed to me that the helmet would be a hollow, plastic, Halloween-costume-type toy. But being a hard core fan, I bought it anyway.
  
  You may already know that the helmet is not full-size. Also, it is not wearable. However, what you can't tell from the pictures is that the helmet is HEAVY and SOLID.
  
  It is not gutted out and hollow inside, but rather it has a slight rectangular cavity that fits over the base (where you can store your Halo games). It comes in the box covered with a special cloth cover fitted specifically for the helmet.
  
  Each one also has a unique serial number (big deal, but still cool).
  
  I don't think of it is spending $130 bucks for the Legendary version; Rather, I think of it as spending an additional 70 bucks for the helmet. To me, this helmet is definitely worth the $70 as a collector's item.
  
  

• Finishing the Fight

  
  By A2ZR8CF71QAUV2 on 2007-09-25
  This edition is a waste of money, but yet it is worth every penny. Unfortunately you can't wear the helmet over your head. However, you can duct tape it to either one of your shoulders and you can feel like you're really fighting right along side the Master Chief. FIVE STARS!!!
  
  
• The Game of the Year!
  By AVTQCYSEALAQ6 on 2007-09-25
  The halo 3 Legendary Edition is the best collection you ever have. It may cost more than any games out there, but it worth your money. It worth it, because this's the Last Halo Game, you won't find any thing like this. Beside if you buy it, you get master chief Helmet, art book, and the game itself. And there a serect in Legendary Edition like behide the Master Chief mask DVD(making of Halo3). If you just wanted to play the game, but dosen't care the extre, just rent it or Buy the $59.99 standard Edition (if you have the first two games).
  
  Halo 3 have many features like 1080p, 4 co-op on online and story mode, adjust your maps, new armors and helmets of your choice and many others
  you should find out yourself. Halo 3 Have the greatest story ever, all you know is finish this fight, but you have play the game and find out what happened to Master chief at the end(don't want to spoiled). The cut-sence are like top 10 Hollywood Best viual Effect Movies. The multiplayer is great, but do you remenber Halo 3 Beta? Will is nothing like Halo 3 beta at all. There other weapons to know about, and the new feature of map-making like buy objects and place it in the map, you custom your spatan and Sangheili Armor and helment. And many more.
  If you are real fan to halo games, this is something you shouldn't Miss.
  Three word(A must buy!).
  
  P.S. Like I tell you there a serect in the Legendary Edition, Serect with Peter Jackon(humor).
  
  
• The most fun I've had in years
  By A3M5IKUOB70R6P on 2007-10-02
  The Game:
  I am not a true gamer. I'm 34 and just can't keep up with the kids. :) Still, Halo is the most fun I've had in years. The music is wonderful, and everything about the game seems to work well together. It's obvious there was a lot of time put into polish and balance. The first time I finished the campaign I couldn't wait to play again. Halo 3 has enormous depth and replayability. As a huge Firefly / Serenity fan I was absolutely thrilled by ... eh, I'm not going to spoil it.
  
  The Legendary Edition:
  The helmet is much higher quality than I had anticipated. It's solid, put together with screws (not simply snap-lock), and the paint has real depth. The packaging, while larger than that of the 360 console is good, but not great; it's obviously still paper and cardboard, with some less-than-legendary rough edges and downright cheap molded plastic positioners inside. Microsoft should have hired Apple's packaging designer for this one. The DVD case insert for the game disc is different (and cooler) than that of the standard Halo 3 package.
  
  
• The best version of the best game
  By A2BNZVARZKSLZ on 2007-10-04
  The actual game review:
  Graphics: Not the kind of graphics that would make you say wow as soon as you see them. But the more you play, the better they look. The lighting, water effects and draw distance are especially good. 4.5/5
  Gameplay: Very similar to halo 2's gameplay. And that's not a bad thing. The new weapons, vehicles, equipment and the new control scheme are great additions. 4.5/5
  Sound: Exactly what you would expect from the genius Marty O'Donnell. Everything is top notch. 5/5
  Lasting Appeal: This game packs so many new additions; you will find yourself glued to your seat 'till 2010. An amazing replay editor, four-player online co-op, a map editor and the best online ever made. Period. Definitely the most bang for your buck. 5/5
  
  The legendary edition:
  The halo 3 legendary Edition is, simply put, Legendary.
  Before I give my scores of the bonus content in the legendary edition, let's review the differences between the three editions:
  
  Standard Edition:
  This is the complete third installment of the legendary epic.
  
  Limited Edition:The Limited Edition ships in a sleek metal collector's case. In addition to the game, the Limited Edition includes the "Bestiarum," a hardcover guide to the game's species, civilizations, and cultures. The bonus disc includes Bungie's high-definition home theater calibration tool; "Art Attack" with concept, production art, an exclusive Dashboard theme, and gamer pics; a Halo-themed minigame; and a variety of short films on a wide range of subjects.
  
  Legendary Edition:
  Individually numbered and available while supplies last, the Legendary Edition includes a copy of Halo 3 in a collectible Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI helmet case, as well as an exclusive collection of storyboard art and the same bonus disc included with the Limited Edition. You'll also get the Legendary Edition disc, including remastered, high-res versions of the Halo and Halo 2 cinematics; an expanded digital "Bestiarum" guide to the creatures and cultures of Halo 3; The Cortana Chronicles; and exclusive machinima episodes.
  
  My scores for the additional content:
  Helmet: pros- very nice and quite large. Cons- has a slightly cheap feeling. 4/5
  Storyboard art: pros- very nice art organized into somewhat of a comic book. Cons- could have been longer. 4/5
  Limited edition disk: pros- very nice menus and nice behind the scenes footage. Cons- I expected more from the video setup guide. 4.5/5
  Legendary edition: pros- lots of bonus material and great creators commentary. The bestiarum is great. Cons- the remastered cutscenes are not high res as stated on the box. They are remastered though, with additional effects and removal of the annoying pop in textures. 5/5
  
  In conclusion:
  Game score: 5/5
  Legendary edition bonus content score: 4.5/5
  Final words: this game is amazing. If you have an Xbox 360, buy this game. Heck, if you don't have a 360, buy one and then buy this game.
  The legendary edition is worth the money in my opinion. If it's within your budget, I really recommend spending the extra money for the legendary edition.
  
  
• Should've been the limited edition plus the helmet... BOO!
  By A3QP3WF60CPJRX on 2007-10-07
  This is a pretty pathetic move on their part. Not sure if it's Bungie's choice or Microsoft's... but the helmet is essentially the best part. You don't get the sweet metal case like the limited edition. Hell, you don't even get the standard green DVD cases that 360 games usually come in (even the pictures show the green cases). You just get plain black plastic ones. It should have at least included the little bestiary book (the "legendary" version just has a DVD version). The thing is obviously built to hold the big metal case of the limited edition. It's as if somebody realized after the design was finalized that they could get the hardcore fans to buy both the limited and legendary editions if they skimped on the innards of the legendary edition.
  
  There's absolutely no excuse, considering the price, that this shouldn't expand on the limited edition. For shame. Did they really need the extra money?
  
  Unless you really want the helmet, save your money. You're not going to get much else.
  
  
  
• LEGENDARY...INDEED
  By A2XQ9Q5PEH50SG on 2007-09-26
  Im very, very happy that i bought the legendary edition because for big fans and no fans the package is just beautiful, the helmet is a perfect replica of master chief's and the extras are worth the extra money.
  
  The game is the best one in the trilogy and the ending is awesome i really liked it a lot, it was worth the wait to have this beautiful game.
  If you liked halo 1 and 2 like i did dont hesitate in buying the third installment is a great game great graphics and to much fun, and i strongly recommend to you to buy this edition believe me is a very beautifull edition with great extras for all halo fans. this edition is worth the extra money every penny.
  
  
• If your a Halo Fan the helmet is worth it!
  By AFSO6LNLI0BMK on 2007-09-28
  I am not going to review the game because you can get that anywhere....IF you are a Halo Fan or a collector the Legendary addition is great for one reason. The Helmet....larger and better quality than I expected. I don't normally fall to the hype of games but the Legendary addition is worth it for the helmet alone...
  
  
• Not As Good As Marketed
  By A2COMGW8R6BQTF on 2007-10-21
  I love the Halo franchise, however both Halo 2 and Halo 3 were a let down in My opinion. As far as the Legendary package goes, there wasn't enough included with it for the price that was being asked for it. The helmet could have been bigger. Halo 3, from what I've read from all of the books about the games, is actually the other half of Halo 2, so Bungie and Microsoft sold us out for game content and story plot.
  
  Where's the rest of the story? I personally preferred Halo : Combat Evolved over these 2nd and 3rd games. I plan on making my own Master Chief helmet with the one from the Legendary package utilizing resin and clay.
  
  
• Great, but could be a little better
  By A27QXQQOLAMRRR on 2007-10-01
  The packaging on the legendary package was great and I'm loving having the helmet, it's a nice add to my living room entertainment center.
  
  The story line of this was good but it was pretty short, I only played it for like half a days worth and it was over. I even found 4 of the skulls in that time. The multi player aspect of the game is were it's at though. The best of any game out IMO.
  
  It's been rumored that there is another Halo in construction but it may be a movie. We'll see what they do. I would like to see this go to a H4 but IDK if they will be doing this, there is a slight possibility but they did kill some of the game for me, so we'll just have to wait and see.
  
  
• Halo 3 Not All That Great
  By A1SRJSP3K6DP6C on 2007-10-02
  I'm a huge fan of the Halo franchise and was ecstatic to finally get this set in the mail. Unfortunately when I started to play it, I notice that there was no difference from the fist Halo game, same jungle layout and very few indoor areas.
  
  There are more flaws with this game, then the other two Halo games. For instance the Flood are in greater numbers and far more annoying. They come at you in much larger waves then the second Halo game and you run out of ammo and are forced to use the [...] of your gun.
  
  The thing that really pissed me off the most was the fact this game is way too short. I finished it in about a day, which makes me wonder why the hell they shorten it so much.
  
  The new guns and vehicles are cool, but you do not have much time to enjoy them because the game is too short and the new guns are interesting, but not enough ammo lying around to keep yourself loaded. Going even further it's a lot harder to try and get in enemy vehicles this time around.
  
  All this hype about Halo 3 falls dead short of being the greatest game of the year. The game could have been longer; the story could have been much more involved.
  
  Bottom line is, it's worth getting this cool Halo package, but this is one disappointed fan who thought Halo 3 was going to be the best and instead Halo 1 and 2 are far better.
  
  
  
• Very cool Collectors Set
  By AK4UPCH41RKBC on 2007-10-20
  I got this for my kid and he loves it. I was very surprised to see all the goodies that came with it. The helmet is not adult sized which is why I didnt get one for my self but it is a good sized helmet.
  
  
• AWESOME!
  By A3F4UOS6I1S9O7 on 2007-09-28
  I think alot of people were thinking about amazon when it came to Halo 3 legendary edition i was mad when i couldnt get this legendary at Game Stop because i didnt pre-order it but amazon is a great way to BUY it. Its a great edition must BUY game edition its worth the price completely. and it ships really fast i choose free shipping for 8-9 business days but it came 2 days after. SWEET!. So if your thinking about getting Halo 3 this is your best choice the special features discs (3 discs total, 2 special features discs) is great all the Halo 3 videos including "Starry Night" and all the Vidoc videos and never seen videos. GREAT BUY!!!!!!!!!
  
  
• great game...but...
  By A3D8TM1VBVNFOG on 2007-10-07
  anyone who spends $130 on and freaking video game is a idiot. i dont care how much money you make or how much time you have to kill thats ridiculous.
  
  the game is really fun, just get the regualar version save like $70 dollars!!! i mean cmon people...the only helmet this game should come with is for the any retard that wastes this much money
  
  
• Freakin Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  By A3BJTYLVE1HR1Q on 2007-10-23
  This game is awesome and so is the Legendary Edition. The helmet is cool cuz u can use it as a hold for ur game.
  
  
• Save your money
  By A36HHLGB8BRLQS on 2007-11-15
  The reason I say save your money is it is just a plastic helmet. Buy the game by itself and use the saved money to get another game. The helmet is cool looking but that is about it. Eventually you will grow tired of it, take it to Gamestop to sell it, and they won't even want it. I love the game, but the helmet is no more of a collectible than my empty bottle of Halo 3 Mountain Dew.
  
  
• Very cool package
  By A36U7NO5WC37HO on 2007-11-24
  The package is cool, but I was expecting a little more in terms of bonus materials. The story was ok good ending to the series.
  
  
• Why you SHOULD NOT buy Halo 3 Legendary Edition, and why you SHOULD buy Halo 3 Limited Edition.
  By A1RM3Z7QYYU1F4 on 2007-12-28
  Halo 3 legendary edition has the following components in them: Halo 3 (game), a bonus disc with all of these great features, another disc with basically the cutscenes from Halo 1 and 2, all edited together and of course the Master Cheif helmet. Where did Bungie go wrong? The second bonus disc with the cutscenes from Halo 1 and 2 are cropped so badly, that it looks better if you would just replay Halo 1 and 2. Other then that, the first bonus disc is great- but it comes with Halo 3 limited edition as well. The Master Cheif helmet is not wearable. It is only a game holder for 3 cases. Halo 1, 2 and 3? Not quite. Halo 3 has 2 DVD cases (the game and the bonus material), and there is not enough room for 4 cases in the helmet. This is a MAJOR flaw in the design. If I cannot wear the helmet, which I want to, then I want to atleast fit Halo 1, 2, 3 and the bonus disci n the helmet. This is not the case. As far as the game goes, Halo 3 is top notch. I recommend the game, but not in the Legendary Edition. Overall, I would just go with the Limited Edition, because it has an awesome case. The Legendary Edition, Halo 3 game, comes in a standard DVD case, and it is nothing special at all. It is black, and not the usual neon green of a normal Xbox 360 game. The Legendary Edition just feels like an afterthough.
  
  
• Gettin some head from Halo
  By A14LZDUZ61EJSJ on 2007-12-28
  I got lucky and happened to run across the Legendary edition of Halo 3 on sale for 60 bucks. I like Halo 3 a lot, but I wouldn't call myself a fanboy or nothing. I don't think I would've bought the legendary edition for regular price for what is included with it. I've seen the Spartan helmet on ebay for around 40 bucks. The extra content is okay, but I don't think it's worth that much. It would've been nice to include something else like a plasma grenade or action figure with it. All in all It's still an awesome game, and hopefully next time Bungie does something else with the franchise they include a lil something extra with the "legendary edition" of whatever it is they're making.
  
  
• not for the faint-hearted or light-headed...
  By A2GIWKKAE5F87J on 2008-08-28
  i've had this game for a few months already..., and to me, this game is probably one of the by-far most talked about game in recent 'history'. the graphics are pretty intense. story line is good too. i haven't heard of much bad opinions about this game at all. to me it's another microsoft success.
  
  while playing the game, it gave me the feeling as if i'm in the story. sometimes to the point that i get dizzy because i'm too into it. perhaps because i do get slight motion sick if i concentrate too much into the whole environment. i had to put down the controller a couple times to rest. this whole package (legendary edition) basically includes the game, the making of the game dvd, as well as a commemorative helmet which you can't wear (although it'd be cool if you could). definitely makes a great gift; i've given away a couple already.
  
  so lastly, like my title..., it's definitely not for the faint-hearted nor light-headed...
  
  
• What you get
  By A21RW6HYZTUIYH on 2008-09-09
  Part three of the greatest video game in human history...check.
  Many additions without subtraction in the ongoing process of best game design ever...check.
  
  The thing is, if you can't describe by the meter where the cave people in the game are, you probably wouldn't pick this up. If you can, you probably already have it.
  But if you're somehow on the fence, I'll take a shot at describing what the Legendary Edition provides.
  
  1. The Helmet - Wow. Appx. 9 inches of Master Chief goodness. A nice display size without being intrusive. It might seem that an all-plastic Spartan head would be lame and fake looking. But it ain't. My only issue is that it's so close to being actual size, why not make it actual size ?
  
  2. DVD extras - Worth the price of admission alone: The three main guys behind the primary aspects of the game commenting the viewer through every cut scene from Halo 1 & 2. As a (rabid) fan, I couldn't think of a more interesting investment of a couple of hours. It was like candy to hear Jones, Staten and O'Donnell elaborate on the foibles of production, failed concepts and what might have been in the Halo universe. And far from a self-congratulatory attempt at promotion, the entire dialogue is a hilariously self-deprecating voyage of perfectionists pointing out the plot holes and oversights of both the cut-scenes and series itself.
  
  3. DVD extras - Torn straight from the pages of the Halo Bible are (very scientific looking) descriptions of the various Halo species, including population and interstellar capability ratings. Only a nerd of colossal proportions would find this cool, and this one did. Throw in a primitive, yet satisfyingly challenging game of Warthog physics, some artistic rendering aspects and you've got the basic blueprint.
  
  No buyer's remorse here.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• A must buy for the XBox 360
  By A1RAJDTNLO5457 on 2007-10-09
  Extremely addicting and very fun.
  
  It is seriously worth buying an Xbox 360 just to play this game.
  
  The online part of the game is amazing.
  
  5/5

  If you just want to play the game and nothing else buy it, it rocks. The 2+ hour movie of the last two halo games was cool too. I was not thinking about buying the legendary halo 3, but after my friend bought it for me as an early Christmas gift I have changed my mind about the price tag. Sure it didn't cost me a thing, but if you have the money and you love halo, then buy this. The picture of the helmut does not do it justice. On the web sites I thougt it looked like a 5 inch bust of the Master Cheif, I was wrong. Even my wife was in shock by the almost life sized helmut. This has my vote for best video game collectable ever.

  halo 3 is an awesome ending to an awesome story arc. The game was great from beginning to end. The legendary edition is awesome as well. It has alot of bonus material, but I feel there could have been more. I still don't regret buying it. The helmet is sweet!

  It was so worth the money just for the extra videos on the 3rd disc! Also the life sized helmit looks cool too

  +++++First, do not read J. Rambo "Bone"'s review on the last page, for his review contains a spoiler.+++++++++++++
  Second, this game is awesome, you should really play it on Heroic or Legendary because that sets the perfect pace of gameplay. The helmet is well built, and serves well for displaying. If you are single, maybe not the best move, but if you are like me, married and have a Man Room in the house, then this full size helmet is an excellent decoration. It is very classy and is not overdone. As for the bonus material, that's also a very nice extra, but not worth the extra unless you are seriously into the Halo universe. There are two bonus episodes of RvB on the Legendary bonus disc, as well as a lot of other nice content. Also, don't be impatient, watch the credits all the way through, it's worth it.
  
  
• Helmet just for looks

  Thought the helmet did something other than store the game boxes. Unles you plan on keeping the helmet as a collectors item, don't waste your money.
