If you don't like it, don't buy it, plain and simple.
Halo is in no way as advanced or easily controlled as PC FPS but the fact is that it is probably the best FPS series on any console system.
And to say "Halo 3 is nothing extraordinary like everyone is making it out to be" seems a bit presumptuous. Judging from the reviews it has received so far it is, in fact, extraordinary. Most reviews are saying that it actually lives up to the hype and that it is the most "next generation" experience to come out so far on any console.

Most reviews nowadays are based a lot on how well the site thinks the game will sell. At least that's what people who have worked for IGN have told me.
I can totally see it especially from sites like Gamespot. It's quite funny really - Gamespot marked down Metroid Prime 3 because it was too much like the first two (which were in the 9.5 range) and yet Halo 3 gets a 9.5. More advertising/hype and more potential sales = better rating.
