There really isn't much to say about Zero Punctuation's
review of
Halo 3. Suffice it to say this -- and this really applies to all ZP reviews -- if you like the game in question, prepare to disagree. Yeah, that's pretty much all we could come up with to introduce the video for which this post was written. Prepare yourself for a rapid-fire dissection of
Halo 3. If you're among the millions of
Halo fans out there, you should probably take your chill pill
before you watch. Those of you simply waiting for the constant outpour of
Halo-related news to cease should sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

While a horrible review, I have to say that video was absolutely brilliant. I tip my hat (Or I would, if I had one on) to these guys

haha, that guy is hilarious. i loved the bioshock review, as well. though i love halo 3, his points are more than valid. why give a perfect score to a very imperfect game? then again, the multiplayer options more than make it for it for me. but since he doesn't care for mp, i guess he's a twat, as well! either way, it's always fun and refreshing to hear this dude trash the biggest releases once in a while

Best...review...evar...
The vehicle AI part is so ridiculously true and makes everyone who claims the AI is so advanced sound absolutely retarded. I've yet to get into a vehicle with an AI driver and get from point A to point B without an extended period of rock humping.

Someone should teach him to take a few breathes in between sentences. Maybe he would enjoy Halo 3 a bit more. Otherwise, good on you, Aussie.

Though he did say that STALKER was better than Bioshock, which is just stupid.

really, it doesnt matter if you agree or not with ZP, his reviews are always utter fucking genuis.
i disagreed with his bioshock review heavily, and then watched it 5 times and laughed more with each one.
"...An evil combination of hitler and skeletor that pisses pure malevolence.."
classic.

I love these videoes. They are hilarious. I loved his Console War Rundown and Heavenly Sword videos. And finally we get some honest commentary on Halo 3 (I to have, dare I say, not played the first two).

i would say bioshock is a renter. no multiplayer. those australians just dont ilke multiplayer games becuase everyone who plays them is on the other side of the world and they lag to bad to enjoy them.

That's fantastic! Whilst these are obviously very tongue in cheek i wish more people would see how shockingly average H3 was as an INDIVIDUAL game, rather than the 'if u dnt liek teh haloz ur ghey!!1!' mentality that seems to spew out whenever it's mentioned anywhere...
And this is another small piece of proof why Brits and funnier than Americans ;-)

I would say the AI is great on average... but only for the enemies. Even outside of a vehicle, NPC teammates are completely useless in this game. I often find the Arbiter just standing in place.

ZP is just brilliant! His take on the Darkness and Bioshock was dead on!

Halo 3 is a fun game no doubt but it still is one of the more overrated series in a long time. Right up there with FF VII...
That being said Halo 3 campaign should be experienced in co-op to be fully appreciated...
