For $99.99 it has to...

1. Take me to work.
2. Bring an HD-DVD drive with it.
3. Solve the 360 heating issues.
4. Not lag a milisecond in xbox live.
5. Solve the freezing screen in the 360.
6. Give me a discount in a 2nd wireless control.
7. Give me a xbox live modder free.
8. Take a walk with my dog.
9. Cook.
10. Clean the dishes.

Don't get me wrong. The game will be AWSOME, but the price tag for this item is too HIGH! The helmet is not wearable and after a couple of weeks will serve you to keep more dust in your house. I will buy the collector edition, 'cause it has the extra stuff without the ridiculous price tag of the helmet.

Not As Good As Marketed

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.

We all no that this game is going to be ace, we all new that the others were ace, but untill this game comes out we just cant say how ace. all we need is to preorder it and get it the day it comes out, like me, just didnt get it from here, i got it from game for £70 (plus its cheaper in the uk), so you yanks dont get the best deal this time.

Should've been the limited edition plus the helmet... BOO!

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.

Halo 3 Not All That Great

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.

Excellent game... For the 15 mins it lasted.

I know this will probably ruffle alot of feathers but I have to say that i'm not very happy with this penultimate edition of the Halo series. Don't get me wrong, the graphics and sound and even the story was very good. No complaints there. But it just seemed to me that the whole game took about half as long as the previous games to play. Where I felt the game should just be getting started, it was over. Granted, i played the game on the normal difficulty. But i believe the only reason that the gameplay would be longer on legendary would be because I would have to reload three times as often. I just remember playing the first Halo for what seemed like a month... and for Halo 3 it took 2 days. Enjoyable game, which I'm sure will give me hours of enjoyment thru Multiplayer (love odd ball) but otherwise, the story mode and the length of the game came up short for me. By 3 weeks.

Very cool package

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.

Halo 3 LE- game as good as expected, extras not so much

I'm going to make my game review quick, because we really want to move on to the extras included with Legendary Edition. Halo 3 as a game is pretty much as most players expected - good, but nothing revolutionary or great. A decent variety of maps (but not hardly enough, even after the expansion pack), solid gameplay, an okay single player campaign, and a few cool modes make it fairly enjoyable - for a month or two, at most. That's when you begin to understand that the game is just repetitive, more slow-paced than most other FPS games, and has very sluggish controls. Picture the physics playing Call of Duty 4 on the moon, in a spacesuit, and you've pretty much got Halo 3 in a nutshell.

Now, as for Legendary Edition...
I already owned the standard Halo 3, and only purchased LE because it was $60. Why? No idea. It comes with some interesting extras - an entire extra DVD of videos, making-of content, and an art book. It also comes with a Spartan helmet - which you might not know, but CANNOT be worn. It stupidly has a plastic bottom mold that can only fit on the display stand it comes with - and after attempted tries to unscrew/disassemble this interior of the helmet, I found the only way you could possibly do it would be to break out the insides, and subsequently destroy it. Now I'm sure not everyone is really interested in goofing around and wearing the helmet - but I mean, let's be realistic here: what else are you supposed to do with it? For the standard $140 or whatever the price tag originally was, these extras are laughable at best. You get the world's coolest-looking paperweight, but that's about it.

If you liked Halo 2, you'll obviously like Halo 3, but only the most avid of competitive FPS gamer will keep playing it for more than a month or two. And the extras in LE are NOT worth the hefty price tag. If you can find a deal like I did, jump on it, but otherwise just go for the standard edition.

only for the hardcore

This Halo 3 pack is really rediculous when you think about it. Nobody needs half the stuff that comes with it or the pretty packaging itself. Only the hardcore fans will shell out the money for this. Don't think me a hater, I'm not. I dig this game in the extreme (along with Killzone; though I'm actually anticipating Killzone 2 more than Halo 3). I've spent many hours fragging and being fragged online much to the detrement of my GPA. But this bundle is only for the fanz of Trekky proportions. That being said I can't wait to play H3.
