Halo 3 review by Crooked Abstraction (http://www.crookedabstraction.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/39-Halo-3-Review.html)

I have no idea who the hell these people are but they are from the UK I believe and have reviewed the game.

Score: 9/10

I advise if you don't want spoilers, don't read the review. Looking at the comments in the review, people are reporting them to MS about spoilers

We would like to congratulate you on your world exclusive review , however we have noted your ip as Microsoft have asked us to do so for anyone who posts spoilers to the game - before launch .So as a well respected organization we will be passing this information onto Microsoft who will inflict suitable punishment .

Regards
Damien Rice

That's from someone leaving a comment on the review.

Here's the only thing I will quote.

It’s great to be able to say that Halo 3 has far exceeded my own personal expectations of the game. It’s unputdownably good for the vast majority of the game. It's not all rosey in the garden mind you, there is some backtracking though and it's not as long as I'd like it to be (probably around 10-12 hours or so). If you’re a Halo fan it’ll probably make you cry with happiness. If you’re just a normal gamer then you’ll find that it really is one of the best games of this year and I can see it slotting into the top 10 great game lists for a long time to come. I take my hat off to Bungie, I didn’t think they’d be able to pull it off but you know what? I was wrong.

10-12 hrs of storyline.

Well I went to the site, and Argos is actually a retailer..that sold it when they shouldnt have, so these guys wont get punished at all, Argos will though.

this isn't the first review..the famistu review was.....

anyway... I think it's a bit low... I never thought the campaign was all that fantastic in the past games...multilayer was where it was at....and that was how the game was designed.......

but now with online 4p co-op (and the co-op even has scores).....and the skull unlockables.....and all those freakin multiplayer modes and stats........not to mention forge....... don't see how it could be much less than a 9.5... but we'll see when I get the game in just.... 3 DAYS!

Excitement side note:

man...first Metroid Prime 3....now Halo 3....and then Smash 3......shit... I am lovin' the year of the threes!

People will kill each other if, say... IGN gives it a 9.
