Hi,

Well I'm on another break from college & I'm back to visit Gamespot, Because this site is so friendly. Anyway I finally got Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360) below is my impression.

Halo 3: ODST is simply just a Halo game all the features with some new ones like Firefight, you play as an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) that drops into New Mombasa during the events of Halo 2. There are two big features that have been removed from the game, they are dual wielding & rechargeable shields, which is a big deal because Halo was the first game to introduce the rechargeable shields, so in a way its just like Halo: Combat Evolved.

The campaign is a great if you think of the game as an expansion pack more than a full retail game, the campaign will last any player 7 hours even on the harder levels. Some of the set peaces in Halo 3: ODST put Halo 3's set peaces to shame. There are two new weapons in ODST well sort of new, the silence SMG & Magnum (or the pistol from Halo 1) these weapons are just silence versions of the Halo SMG & Magnum. The Magnum is just awesome if you played Halo 1 the pistol in that game could take out a tank although the Magnum can't do that it still pretty much kills everything in one shot.

The star of the shot is the new Firefight mode, which is where you fight wave after wave after wave of Covenant horde. I is like Gears of Wars 2's Horde mode, Call of Duty: World at War's Nazi Zombies & Left 4 Dead's Survival mode but just presented in a better way, & just to clear something up Bungie didn't copy Gears of War or any other game that has a survival mode if you play a game called Marathon that was release in 1992 well Dual anyway had an awesome survival mode. This feature this awesome I is a great replay feature but isn't by itself worth the £35. Anyway thats just a quick impression of Halo 3: ODST.


I also got Kingdom Heart: 385/2 Days (DS) (this has to be the weirdest name for a game in while), this games is awesome allot better then Chains of Memory on the GBA, I'll write my impression of this game later, awesome.

Thank you,
Simon.
