Halo on the PS3?

Yes. Halo IS on the PS3. The Legends Blu-Ray movie that is.

This is a short story similar to the Batman: Gotham Knight and the Animatrix as well, where they are all animated to life. Where a certain amount of studios take the story and add their own style and flavor to the franchise making the universe more rich and creative.

The movie starts out with the first two stories called Origins one and two. It tells the tale of the Forerunners, Floods and those unlucky bastards later on, humans. It's honestly a good back story for those uninitiated to the universe and sets the story up.

The third story, The Duel depicts the Elite with some human emotions and gives them samurai spirits. Its distinct art style is a mix of water color and canvels.

Fourth story is called Homecoming. This one has incredible coincidence. There is a FEMALE in a SUIT and fights alien in her RED armor. She's BLOND but has short hair. I honestly thought I was watching Samus Aran whopping ass until I realized it was Halo. It's alright, I guess.

This one is the funniest one of the seven story. Called Odd One Out, it tells the story of a Spartan named 1337 who falls from the ship and it's a comic relief for the over dramatic story. It has Dragon Ball Z aspect where the fights are concerned. I nice twist to this one.

The sixth story is my personal favorite, called Prototype. It tells the tale of a solder that lost his whole squad and be came a Spartan called Ghost. In a mission to destroy a Prototype suit, his squad gets pinned down and they assume that Ghost has abandoned them. Ghost not only saves them from death but uses the Prototype to save is man. He is a cold hearted soldier with no feeling but after getting his troops to safety, he finally becomes human in a last strike in the battle field.

The Babysitter, being the seventh story, is more of the arrogant one. Hot shots believe they got the biggest whanks in the universe are assigned with a Spartan for a mission of assassination. The character development is a bit better where one of the soldiers see his ways of being an arrogant jerk.

Finally, The Package finishes the story well. The Chief making his way to save some broad in a mix of all 3D and smooth animation. More Spartans are here so the story is action packed.

This movie ISN'T for everyone. Thus, this movie will be enjoyed more for those fans of anime THAN those of the game. Because everyone knows, people who play Halo can't go 27seconds without killing something. So there IS a story but they don't care because of the development in the story and mild action(with the exception of the Odd One Out).

Over I give this movie who's clearly riding on the fans that don't watch, let alone buy a movie, 3.9/5

I would Buy it if you love anime, other wise Flush it!
