3/5 Flop. This sucks!

http://triplecombo.piczo.com/post/3878/Halo+ODST+Review:+Prepare+to...Flop%3F?cr=3

1.5/5

VERDICT

Halo 3: ODST is a disappointment. The story starts off great, but can't maintain its consistency and by the end is just a let down. This started off as DLC, and it's obvious that it should have remained as such. The new co-op mode is nice, and at times the single player campaign can be thoroughly entertaining. However, the 60-dollar price tag and short story mode really bring this game down.

When Bungie announced this would be released on a disc for full price, we all expected a much longer and much more complete game. Halo 3: ODST feels like a cheap money grab and there's very little reason to buy it. It's obvious now why the Halo: Reach beta was included. This game isn't worth a purchase. If you are interested in the story, give it a rental, it won't take you more than a day to complete it.

I agree. I've never heard of it and I thought there was an embargo on reviews for ODSt until tomorrow.

Sounds about right, the ending leaves a VERY bad taste in your mouth, there is just no epic or compassionate feel to the dramatic conclusion.

Very dissapointing, and Firefight looks boring as a whole

Who cares... really? Im not buying ODST or Uncharted. ODST will sell billions more, Uncharted will get higher reviews and the world keeps spinning.

Yeah, I agree. I edited what I said, the site seems reliable-- much more than that random journalist :roll:

But it's still going to be disregarded-- until then, cows are going to have a little fun with this, especially with Uncharted 2's IGN review today.

Why is this site reputable?

Edit: Actually, nevermind, the review is somewhat vague.

Nah, I wouldn't worry about that. I don't expect it to get anywhere near the 9.5 UC2 got but it'll probably still get a solid 8.5-8.9.

Ouch, I thought it was supposed to be as long as Halo 3's campaign. I had considered picking this up at some point down the road, as it actually looks better than Halo 3 to me. However, since I am not the biggest Halo fan, I'll probably just pass. Too many other games that are higher priority for me releasing from now, well on into next year. I still want to hear a review from a better source, though.

Well, let's hope.

I'm starting to think this review might not even be legit. The embargo isn't even lifted until tomorrow. What's the deal?

i wouldnt doubt it lol, its so easy to create a site/blogsite now its not even funny, just go to N4G and youll see. PS3 fanboys run that site, and every obscure review from blogs are posted on it lol, yet the bad reviews for PS3 games are quickly discredited, and swept under the rug.

Woah , another Honest review.

Conclusion - "Halo 3 fans will have a love-hate relationship with the 4-5 hours provided by Halo 3:ODST, but newcomers to the franchise will loathe it to the very core. Poor storyline, unimaginative and outdated gameplay, and low-resolution graphics are all contributors to the terrible nature of Halo 3:ODST"
