Halo 3 vs Vanquish
Halo 3
Halo 3 once more puts you into the shoes of the Master Chief as he battles on to save the galaxy from the madness of both the Covenant and the Flood. You also have the Arbiter along for the ride as the civil war rages on and there are still rogue elements to clean up. As you all head to the Ark to try and stop the last of the Prophets a magnificent story evolves taking you across all kinds of different worlds, places and spaces.With all the classic first person gameplay from the series alongside new items and cooldowns you have a spectacular game. With upgrades to every aspect from the graphics to the interface you have an experience well worth a try, and the online and multiplayer has also been smoothed out making for a fun place to be, not to mention the competitive side of the rankings too.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
