I got lucky and happened to run across the Legendary edition of Halo 3 on sale for 60 bucks. I like Halo 3 a lot, but I wouldn't call myself a fanboy or nothing. I don't think I would've bought the legendary edition for regular price for what is included with it. I've seen the Spartan helmet on ebay for around 40 bucks. The extra content is okay, but I don't think it's worth that much. It would've been nice to include something else like a plasma grenade or action figure with it. All in all It's still an awesome game, and hopefully next time Bungie does something else with the franchise they include a lil something extra with the "legendary edition" of whatever it is they're making.

If you want to play campaign. If your just in it to play multiplayer on Xbox Live then get Halo 3: ODST. It has all the maps you would have to buy and a new campaign without Master Chief.

I purchased this for 59 dollars which is a great price since it originally sold for 129. The helmet is totally cool and the game play is great. Playing online is still the best thing.

It was so worth the money just for the extra videos on the 3rd disc! Also the life sized helmit looks cool too

I got this for my son and he just loves it and so do his friends. They think the helmet is "wicked" and the game is a lot of fun. Well worth the money spent.

• from

one of the best game francises in the history of games just raised the bar with awsome graphics, musicial score and perfect gameplay packed with spartan helmet you can't beat that

• from

Extremely addicting and very fun.

It is seriously worth buying an Xbox 360 just to play this game.

The online part of the game is amazing.

5/5

Halo 3 legendary edition has the following components in them: Halo 3 (game), a bonus disc with all of these great features, another disc with basically the cutscenes from Halo 1 and 2, all edited together and of course the Master Cheif helmet. Where did Bungie go wrong? The second bonus disc with the cutscenes from Halo 1 and 2 are cropped so badly, that it looks better if you would just replay Halo 1 and 2. Other then that, the first bonus disc is great- but it comes with Halo 3 limited edition as well. The Master Cheif helmet is not wearable. It is only a game holder for 3 cases. Halo 1, 2 and 3? Not quite. Halo 3 has 2 DVD cases (the game and the bonus material), and there is not enough room for 4 cases in the helmet. This is a MAJOR flaw in the design. If I cannot wear the helmet, which I want to, then I want to atleast fit Halo 1, 2, 3 and the bonus disci n the helmet. This is not the case. As far as the game goes, Halo 3 is top notch. I recommend the game, but not in the Legendary Edition. Overall, I would just go with the Limited Edition, because it has an awesome case. The Legendary Edition, Halo 3 game, comes in a standard DVD case, and it is nothing special at all. It is black, and not the usual neon green of a normal Xbox 360 game. The Legendary Edition just feels like an afterthough.

If you just want to play the game and nothing else buy it, it rocks. The 2+ hour movie of the last two halo games was cool too. I was not thinking about buying the legendary halo 3, but after my friend bought it for me as an early Christmas gift I have changed my mind about the price tag. Sure it didn't cost me a thing, but if you have the money and you love halo, then buy this. The picture of the helmut does not do it justice. On the web sites I thougt it looked like a 5 inch bust of the Master Cheif, I was wrong. Even my wife was in shock by the almost life sized helmut. This has my vote for best video game collectable ever.

Halo 3 manages to stay original despite being the third of a trilogy. The first Halo game on the Xbox 360, it has incredible graphics and sound, exceeding expectations.

Given that the multiplayer is the most important feature to many users, I can assure you that it has seen improvements as well; the Forge (build a map) and Theater (replay matches) modes are incredible additions to the series. A must-own for 360 owners.

The special features included in the Legendary Edition are fun, although it's up to you as to whether they're worth the extra money

Most of you have probably already played the game and want to know what comes with the Legendary edition.

The things that come with the Legendary edition are great. It Comes with the regular game of coarse, but also comes with a second case containing a DVD on Commentary of making Halo. It has like 2hours worth of footage which gives you a lot of information on the making of Halo and Bungie. The DVD also comes with 3 free themes and gamerpicture packs that are really cool. It also contains some Machinima epsiodes including Red vs. Blue and commentary where you actually meet the Red vs. Blue creators. The Spartan Helmet that comes with it is Life sized, but the disappointing part is that you can't wear it. It's meant to be put on the Halo 3 stand that comes with the packaging, but it makes a great edition to your room. Overall, I think this game gets a 5/5, and if you haven't played halo before, or didn't like Halo CE or Halo 2, you should at least give Halo 3 a chance. The Forge and Theatre mode make the game stick out from the series and it's just plain a pretty cool game. Halo Reach is also coming out in only a couple months so take a look at that too.

The shipping was fast and every thing was there. Halo 3 legendary edition rocks and everyone that loves halo should buy it and its a good price

A sequel should be incremental, and never a radical departure from the source. Pithy remarks about this being "Halo 2.5" demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding concerning interactive storytelling. This is in every way the perfect sequel.

The Halo series remains one of the few console FPS games that I truly enjoy, and Bungie does that honor justice once again with Halo 3. The graphics have been improved without losing the Halo style, something that could have happened had they focused overly hard on going ultra-realistic. The Halo games have primarily had two things going for them: finely tuned control and gameplay, and clarity of artistic vision (something few games manage), and that is continued beautifully here. Martin O'Donnell's score is once again alternately epic and contemplative, but always delicious to the ear. The story hits a high point here, at the end of the series, and the narrative unfolds with more expertise than in Halo 2, delivering a much more satisfying single player mode. It benefits from higher resolution cutscenes, which use a combination of in-engine models to continue to stylistic flow and cinematic tricks like matte paintings to make them extra gorgeous.

Just make sure you stay past the credits, or you'll be upset!
