After playing the single player campaign, he concludes that the Halo 3 hype was excessive because the game is average and not great.

True but his job is not to be a serious reviewer, his job is to rant in a funny way.
I pretty much decided I hated this guy after watching his Brawl review, he made a few good points like the sprites being too small but he clearly didn't get all his facts right. Like when he complained about it taking 10 hours to unlock Sonic, first off that was only one method of unlocking him, he didn't seem to realise that you could unlock Sonic by simply beating the arcade mode with 10 different characters, that's what I did and it only took me an hour.
However I realise that his job is to simply rant about his subjective opinions in a funny manner, not to give objective and professional reviews, anyone who considers his reviews unbiased and reliable consumer advice is clearly an idiot.
But for that I can forgive him for getting his facts wrong from time to time. That's not what he's being paid to do.

What he doesn't acknowledge or seem to understand is that the 1 player campaign wasn't the reason for the hype - the multiplayer bit which he never even tried was. Halo fans like the multiplayer and so obviously they weren't looking forward to Halo 3 because of the single player, duh.
I mean, as a review, it's embarassing - but at least it entertains.

At least he's honest for admitting he hasn't played it.
And I do agree with his point that not everybody wants to spend a lot of money on a game that's only good for multiplayer. And that you shouldn't call a game perfect if you keep having to make excuses for it. Half assed single player is a legitimate complaint, if the single player isn't important then why is it there to begin with?

Inevitably, people are gonna do the same to MW2. Some who like multiplayer will probably say it's a great game and then there are those who pick it up and only ever play the 1p campaign and that's perhaps good for what .. 4-5 hours or a bit more of fun?
They're gonna complain of course and say the game is overhyped. ;)

Which is why if I ever get this game I'll be sure I can play it online.
