The good:

Satisfying storyline that simultaneously provides closure while making you wonder what will happen next
Four-player online co-op is a lot of fun
Forge mode map editor lets you do some extremely crazy and unexpected things
Web integration makes sharing new maps and custom modes easy.

The bad:

Rewinding saved films doesn't work quite like you'd expect it to
AI-controlled Marines can't drive to save their lives (or yours)
Inevitable flood of prepubescent online players sure to hamper your enjoyment of the online modes.

The bottomline:

Halo 3 builds upon the concepts of Halo 2 in ways that you'd expect, but there are also new modes and options that send the series in exciting new directions.
