Halo 3: ODST
Xbox 360 version
Gorgeous spectacle undermined by its short story.
The Good
This game, even for today's standards, is SPECTACULAR spectacle for gamers to behold: it's like watching a more cyberpunk-y version of Star Wars and Blade Runner rolled into one package. its lighting is glorious and the satisfaction you get when blowing aliens away is rather satisfying.
The Bad
I think the story was a bit too short and not fully exploring of the Halo lore. It didn't add anything nor did it really detract anything. It's still a glory for the eyes but not the brain.
The Bottom Line
You like space and war movies? Halo's that and then some. Halo 3: ODST is a visually gorgeous experience that honors its space opera heritage, even if the story's rinse and repeat-y in the end.
