After a 3 year absence, Halo 3 has finally made it. But lets cut right to the quick here: this game is awesome.
Almost all the people that have bought Halo 3 have probably been wondering what happens in the story, so when they buy it they immediately play through the campaign. That is out of pure speculation by the way. Which leads me to the reason why I'm righting this comment.
The story of Halo 3 is one of the most twisted and darkest stories to ever be put in a game. Sure the first game led to self-explanatory action with an unfolding story to go with it, and the second game told a more complex and diverse story that had many twists that no one expected. There were books and other novelty items that filled the gaps between the history all the way to how Halo 3 begins.
But what makes Halo 3's story so dark is it's atmosphere. The story has more twists and turns than any other game before it. Bungie promised the fans that it would play out like The Lord of the Rings The Return of the King, in which characters die, destinies are made, and above all else, the end of a long running war.
The game does relate to this, but there remains a question behind every theory: characters within the game WILL die, but who?
Destinies WILL be made, but who's will and what will they sacrifice in order in achieve it?
Sacrifices WILL be made, but under what exchange?
And this is me speaking out for all the fans and I AM telling the honest truth: I did cry at certain parts of this game because I am a TRUE fan, and if you are a true fan of the series it will be your choice if you wish to do the same.
I am proud for what Bungie has done. They have put so much effort into creating and imagining this wonderful series that in the end I actually shed tears, just like I did with Lord of the Rings.
This IS the only game to have ever touched my heart and taught me that we all have something to fight for, even if it means giving up destiny, the ones we love, and our lives to do so.
10/10
