Halo 3: ODST review Xbox 360
So, what's the issue? Well, how about how short the game is? After a few hours the credits will roll, and you'll wonder why you didn't just watch the story on youtube.
The SP itself is repetitive. It's pretty much the exact same as Halo 3, except you are a ODST, and you can't jump as high :P
The dark gritty city setting was a nice new look at first, but after a while you realize it's not enough to make the experience fresh. The visuals are pretty much the same aswell - keeping in mind this is a 2009 game, and released along with games like UC2, Forza 3, it feels incredibly dated.
The SP story didn't interest me if i'm honest. The whole ODST SP was just a blur of repetitive killing, and dark city streets.
Now onto the 2nd disc. Bungie decided to include a Halo 3 MP disc including all the maps. This is a nice thing to include, but most halo fans will have bought these already.
To sum it all up Halo 3 ODST is a massive disappointment. The familiar Halo gameplay is still here, so you could enjoy it if you're a massive fan, but for me you're better off just renting this.
Still with it's halo gameplay, it gets a 6.0/10 by the skin of it's teeth.
