This is part two of my review of Halo 3 ODST, where I explore the controversy surrounding the media hype and oddly high review scores that were given to this rather mediocre game.

@SpriteMaster214 Its sad but just the vast number of exclusives kills the xbox.

[MrGoLuckyFish]

@snkrules Its your fault for watching a review from 2009. Im only rewatching for entertainment value.

[SpriteMaster214]

Not being a troll but Phil is right ps3 exclusives kill 360 exclusives in all respects

[beeyotch23]

Phil, why would anyone buy the game just for the firefight mode. You'd have to be a complete noob/casual gamer to immediately dive into the multiplayer..

[DevilsSI5421]

@homestar84 uhgg... its a remake you know and it does have a some new story added

so its not ment to be new.

watched expecting a good review, walked out with a gamer rant over "my taste > to your taste and I don''t believe you like this game"

[M3IDEH]

dsp, you're a LEGEND!!!

I don't know if i'm alone here, but next to the Original Halo for the original Xbox, Halo 3: ODST had my favourite campaign of the series, it's just a shame it's ending is awful

i liked the game. Overall I give the game a 7.5 and the only reason I'm coming on here and commenting to this is because my friend keeps being a dick about it saying it sucked and I'm saying it was okay. Yes it should have been DLC. Yes the campaign should have been longer but overall I liked the game and I just went back and played it a few weeks ago and beat it solo on legendary which took me about a week to do during my free time. I liked the characters well the ones who did talk.

I have a few problems about this review even though I know it is a bit old I'm still going to comment. DSP my friends like you and think you're funny but I don't find you amazingly funny. You don't really look at this game as a game with story and everything else and just look at it as gameplay. It was one of the worst Halo games but you don't exactly know Halo. And the pistol in this game isn't new it was brought back from Halo: combat evolved
