Writing an Xbox 360 game review can be fun, but there are some simple guidelines that you need to follow in order to make your review successful. The first thing you want to do is know your target audience. An Xbox 360 game review will be written in different styles depending on who the audience for your review is. Users of the Xbox 360 game system range in age from the very young all the way to the very old, so keep this in mind when writing your Xbox 360 game review. If you have a review for younger kids, try to keep the review simple so that they or their parents can explain to them what the game is all about and what benefits and features it has that are relevant. If it is a game designed for more mature players, you probably will want to say that and slant your review accordingly. One example of this would be an Xbox 360 game review for games that are extremely violent. A review for children would probably put the game in an unfavorable light, while one for adults or teens may view the game very favorably. Again, your audience plays a huge role in determining how you review a game. What games to review? Choosing which games to write your Xbox 360 game review about can be a tricky decision. When you first start out it is probably best to pick a game you are very familiar with so you can write an in depth review. I would not do an Xbox 360 HD DVD review as more than likely a review will be out somewhere else. As you get better at writing Xbox 360 game reviews you can move on to newer games and titles that you are less familiar with. Also, at first I would avoid writing about controversial games and stick to titles that can be played be a wide audience. Sports games are great for this. In addition, many sports titles are built around the same player control engine year after year so your reviews do not have to change much as new titles come out. My suggestion would be to find a sports game that you like to start your Xbox 360 game review off. If you are not a fan of sports titles, perhaps then you may want to look at a children’s game or a game that can be played by children. For the Xbox, the Halo series of games has long been fun for a wide variety of players. Try there and I am sure you can find something you will enjoy. So in conclusion, the thing to do when writing Xbox 360 game review is to know your target audience and review games you enjoy, if you do that are sure you will find writing the reviews enjoyable and satisfying.

Halo 3 Review: Finish the Fight

The highly anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive makes its way to the public. For those three people who are unaware of Halo 3, here is the breakdown. Halo 3 is a first person shooter that transpires after the events of the Xbox smash hit Halo 2. Master Chief is reprising his role as the protagonist all the way through the entire game, and he is accompanied by the Arbiter. Those who played Halo 2 will remember that the Arbiter is now an ally of Master Chief. The storyline in Halo 3 starts with Master Chief and his men fighting against the Covenant. The plot is definitely the best in the series, and it answers all of the unanswered questions from Halo 2. In terms of gameplay, Halo 3 is eerily similar to the previous iterations of Halo and Halo 2. Avid Halo fans should have no problem picking up the controls of Master Chief or the Arbiter. Gamers will not be surprised with the assortment of weapons. These entail the handgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, energy sword, grenades, bubble shield, and so much more. I seldom utilized the bubble shield, but it is still a nice touch. A grenade in an opponents mouth is my preference. The most grandiose part of the multiplayer is the cooperative gameplay. Gamers can enjoy the whole Halo 3 experience with three other players. That means a total of four people can play the game from start to finish. One player will be in control of Master Chief. Another will be in control of the Arbiter. The final two players will be in control of two soldiers that fight alongside Master Chief and the Arbiter. The visuals in Halo 3 are not impressive. The game looks adequate; however, nothing anyone sees will make their jaw hit the floor. Some of the environments appear to be next generation. On the other hand, there are a few character models that look downright dreadful. Maybe I have been spoiled with the graphics from video games like Heavenly Sword, BioShock, GRAW, Killzone 2, FEAR, and Gears of War. But I was disappointed with the graphics in Halo 3. For the most part, the graphics look exactly like the multiplayer beta. I might have high expectations, nevertheless I would have appreciated it if the visuals were better than the final product (especially for a next generation console like the Xbox 360). Another blunder with Halo 3 is the artificial intelligence. All of Master Chief's allies act like asinine children. Fortunately, the frame rate runs smoothly throughout the duration of Halo 3. The audio in the game is amazing. All of the dialogue is rich and full of life; furthermore, the voice acting never seems to be insipid. The sound of gunfire and recoil gives a fairly immersive atmosphere. There are even a few comedic aspects with your teammates. The musical score is one of the best I have heard in a video game. A live orchestral musical score has a flawless amount of crescendos and decrescendos. It significantly enhances the gameplay experience. The artificial intelligence adjusts accordingly to your every move, so do not expect to see all fights to be identical. The wide selection of vehicles is limitless. Some of them are reconnaissance vehicles, tanks, aircrafts, transport automobiles, and most notorious of all the Warthog. There are also some original vehicles to the Halo universe. Most notably, the Mongoose ATV (who the hell comes up with these absurd names?) is a vehicle that has a motorcycle-like feel to it. The multiplayer features up to sixteen players and eleven different maps. It is not as engrossing as the 32 player multiplayer that Warhawk supports, but sixteen that is not bad. There is also a level and video editor. The video editor is like making your own Halo 3 movie. Even though Halo 3 is only a succinct ten hours, the game is still worth the gameplay. The final verdict on Halo 3 is that fans of the Halo series will enjoy Halo 3 for months to come. Overall, gamers should believe in Halo 3 and finish the fight.
