Halo 3 Legendary Review - a Journey, a Way of Life

[admin]

Ok, there are a hundred other reviews out there that are surely very informative as to the content of this game. I am a home theater enthusiast so I want to touch on the good and bad of the game from an audioholic perspective. I know, when you look at my mini blog up there, it looks like I am some kind of fanboy, but rest assured that I am as critical as the next guy...

I gotta say that I'm impressed with the game. It really does play just like Halo 2, but that is not a bad thing. The LFE is really pretty impressive on my SVS PB12 NSD.

There is one thing I am disapointed in, and that is the jaggies. I had to double check to make sure I hadn't set the resolution to 1080i last time I traveled with my xbox. I was playing on a 56" 720P samsung DLP from 8-10 and the jaggies were really bothersome. Oh well, I'm sure after a few more days I'll get used to it.

Aren't most video games this way thought?

Would you like your game to run at 60fps or 30fps?

You're going to get jaggies on consoles, anti-aliasing requires a lot of gpu power to pull off.

And if you ask me, 1080p really isn't that high of a resolution. For tv's yes, but pc monitors have been beyond that for ages.

I thought that the system had been designed so that anti aliasing was easy on the GPU. 720P is a pretty low rez compared to PC gaming. I would think that the XBOX360 could handle some anti aliasing.

Note: My POV is from reviewing campaign .. not MP which is probably going to be the "big" thing with H3.

While H2 & H3 have many similar things on paper the gameplay through the campaigns in H3 seems much smoother than what I saw in H2. Basically I do think that H3 is it's own game ... it's not H2.1 as some other people are saying.
