Finaly a review for Halo 3 that i agree with.

So to sum up its....................

I never understood the hype with Halo. I was half bored playing it, so after a couple sections and a good drive with the truck + screwing around with the then good physics (lame by todays standards), I was done. Bored.

I can say though that Halo is way better than Grand Theft Auto - a game I rate much much much worse than Halo. I can't say I've been much more bored than playing GTA in any form. I've seen a couple of them, including San Andreas or whatever, but they are just terrible. Fantasy world to think you will get 5 feet in the real world doing even one thing in GTA. It did have a minor piccup when getting some large vehicle to go smash around town with, but that lasted for a whole 30 seconds before that was boring too.

Never understood the Halo hype either, but thats because when it comes to shooters its been done and better multiple times on the PC. Besides that when i play a shooter i go for something like Rainbox Six which is grat in single player and multiplayer.

Anyway unlike you i have liked the GTA series, deffinately not my favorite game by a longshot but still fun.

If you read the Halo novels they are actually rather deep. Alot of the backstory that you never hear in the games is in there. Like how they call them Spartans. Its not just cause they're kick ass soldiers but also because they're all taken as young children at 7 I think (also the same age that Spartan children were to begin military training) and forced to undergo insnae training et cetera...

But I was exited about this game before M$ bought off Bungie and made it an XBox thing.

And as for GTA, well just because you don't agree with the premise of its fantasy doesn't mean it its truly terrible. I don't think anyone playing GTA thinks its a cops and robbers simulation.:p

Read part four first, thought it was very, very good, got the set and thought part one was good then read part two. I think the author had mind block and played Halo because it read just like a FPS on steroids. I couldn't get more then half way through. I'm not too sure I can work it up to read part three because two was so bad.

The second novel (game novelization) was actually written by a different author than the one who wrote the other novels (1, 3, and 4), and yes, most people think the second one sucked. I don't think you'll be dissapointed by the third book though.
