Review of Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360)

Halo3

Advantages: Fantastic multi-player, Simple to get into, difficult to put down!
Disadvantages: Short 1 player game. Need to pay extra for more multi-player maps

The game that made me put my hand in my pocket to buy the system!!! The same can be said of the 1st Halo, both these games made the difference between Sony & Microsoft getting my hard earned! Loved the original Halo, it set the benchmark @ the time. In Halo 3, the single player mode is good fun but not long enough or different enough to really push itself beyond the levels of Halo 1&2, it's really more of the same(run around, kill the alien invaders known as the covenant, well, anything that isn't wearing green & talking in an American accent) with a few tweaks & greatly improved graphics. That isn't necessarily a bad thing tho, as the 1st 2 were great!

Review of Halo 3 (Xbox 360)

Magnificent Halo!

Advantages: Fantastic story and a great playable character.
Disadvantages: It should have been possible to use the plasma sword.

even more dangerous is when they run towards you, with their big, mounted shield/weapon. Jackals - Very annoying with their croaky voice and their sheilds. You need a well placed shot to take down these. If you do, I promise you satisfaction. Grunts - So easy to kill when they're alone, and it provides the player with a laugh when they run away. However, DO NOT underestimate them when they are with an Elite....they can get nasty. SOUND/MUSIC/DIALOGUE: One thing that truly brings Halo alive is the sound. Without it, the game wouldnt be as half as good. This is because the music really drags the player into the Halo Universe, pushing them along to complete another level and to feel truly 'macho'. When battling against the Covenant, the music playing is that of a fast-paced action movie scene, encouraging the player to pump lead ...
