The soon-to-be-released, highly anticipated X-Box game, Halo 3, was recently given an incredible promotion tool. This tool is a new web site called “Halo 3 Believe.” It is an amazing, interactive experience in which the user on the web site is basically able to fly around a massive, Halo-3 inspired environment. The environment itself is actually a real diorama that was hand-built, and is 12 ft. tall by (many) feet wide. The amount of detail and intricacy involved in the structures, characters, and scenes in the diorama is nothing short of fantastic. In addition to simply viewing the diorama, you can also view some of the recent Halo 3 TV commercials, the Making-of (the diorama) video, and read character’s stories and the general story of different parts of the scene itself. This is some great advertainment, folks.
I am a pretty big Halo buff. Back when I had X-Box live, which enables you to play online with people around the world, my girlfriend found herself in a constant struggle with a tiny black box and a controller for my free time. And that was with Halo 2…Halo 3 stands to be much better, with far better graphics, a great storyline, and an overall improved experience. However, I believe that even someone who isn’t a big Halo fanatic would still love the Believe web site. It is definitely worth checking out, mainly because it is unlike anything you have seen before. It is taking the old, seemingly outmoded craft of diorama building, and bringing it to a new medium on the ‘Net. This is worth checking out if you have the time to roam around and really get a feel for it.
Kudos to Marka at Adverblog, who brought the new Halo 3 Believe web site to my attention. And even more kudos to Dustin Burg, who wrote a Blog Article about it that had the correct link to the web site, and gave some valuable insight as to what the site is all about.
