- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 July 2012As a big fan of Halo, despite being probably not that great at it, I decided to order Halo: ODST basically for the full story as well as the actual fun of shooting Covenant scum.
Although you're not Master Chief and you don't have the assistance of Cortana, it doesn't matter as all aliens die eventually and I didn't see this as a problem, especially since this new character lends itself to a unique (especially for Halo) campaign. I would have preffered Cortana (or the like) but having the HUD got the job done in the end and this was different also. The graphics seemed improved also (compared to Halo 3) - secifically the actual gameplay. My biggest praise is for the improvement of the manouverability of the vehicles. With these parts of the campaigns, being one of the only things I seem capable of doing confidently, I really benefited from having greater control of the vehicles.
Despite this I did not enjoy not being able to rejuvenate health after a while - instead you have to go and find health packs - not ideal in a combat situation but I suppose more realistic. Running around New Mombasa was also not that fun, but became so when you finally reached your destination and an exciting campiagn began. Finally, the 'terminal'-type things I found boring and naff - especially compared to other terminals in other Halo games but this was only a small gripe.
Overall then I would recommend this game. Although it probably didn't need to be made as it doesn't add really anything to the overall story, it did keep Halo fans ticking and at least deserves a try.
