Halo 3: ODST for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Great game. The environments were just stunning especially in the city at night, the soundtrack is far above par, and the gameplay is quite fun. Alot of people nay say about it but I really enjoyed the game; however, strike, the campaign is kind of short. Try it on legendary difficulty and I promise you it will be longer. I'd have liked to have seen more of the game through the campaign though but being short kind of keeps with the overall feel and storyline which is understandable once u beat it. Also, the majority of your gaming experience, in particular in the city at night as the rookie, is spent with a night vision on, so sometimes you may want to turn it off just to catch a glimpse of the environment to see what I mean. I also enjoyed the execution of the story through the opening of the game. Firefight mode is very enjoyable for the casual gamer who wants to team up or just play a game of survival solo vs getting raped in Halo 3 matchups by other players. The soundtrack in particular really sets the mood for the game, again especially in the city at night.The game is challenging for the most part and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun gaming experience. The nay sayers about this game are probably Halo 3 heads and just aren't impressed because they can't kill each other and the game isn't really centered around kicking in the door, shooting and taking names. There's more of a stealthy quality about it so it might turn some people off. But to regular/casual gamers, its a danm decent shooter for you and/or you and your friends. Broke my heart to send the game back to GF, I plan on purchasing the game in the future, I just feel it's a worthy add on to my collection.

I love the story. I love the controls compared to halo 3. Movement speed and the ability to 'run' should be upgraded! There are a few things that should be tweeked so far as the hardest difficulty....

First... weapon selection for enemies at 'choke points' makes combat pretty much a no can do unless you get lucky.

SAVE YOUR AMMO for heavy guns or the choke points will choke you.

Giving an elite brute a heavy weapon like the fuel gun at a choke point is insain but you can try to get around and not fight at all lol.

AWESOME GAME AND WELL WORTH IT!

The firefight MODE is VERY entertaining! it's like being a gladiator fighting wave after wave of nasties!

I havent even tried multiplayer yet! So yea.... this game ROCKS!!!!
