Halo 3 reviewers, start your engines! (and rip up those non-disclosure agreements!) At 12:01 pm on Sunday, the Halo 3 reviews went up, and the tidal wave of reviews washed over the internet like a Russian virus. There were so many reviews and coverage of the reviews and coverage of the coverage of the reviews that even OJ was embarrassed by Halo 3 media crush.

What’s the verdict?

They like it like a fat kid loves cake. Like Britney loves Haagen Dazs. Based on 16 reviews, the metascore on Metacritic.com is 97. The metascore of 97, for those keeping track, is exactly one better than Bioshock, the previous critical darling of 2007.

What do the reviewers like? The multiplayer and the story. What, if any, criticisms are there? Some knock it for the marine allies’ A.I. and a “somewhat lackluster conclusion,” as described by GameDaily. Oh yeah and the reviewers love the level editor called “the Forge.” For pure entertainment’s sake, I recommend starting at the lowest scored review and working your way up. The lowest scored review reads like a vampire rain review, but the reveiwer still scores the game at an 8.8 out of 10. This will ground you and prepare you for the absolute love letters written by the reviewers that scored the game a perfect 10 out of 1o. I’m looking at you 1up.com! IGN didn’t even give it as high of a review as you guys did. Get a room!

What’s the bottom line?

Should you buy it? Heck, you’re probably reading this while in line to buy it, so why do you care what I say anyway.
