MEGamers Halo 3 ODST Review

"There is no doubt about it, without Halo, the Xbox as a brand would have been a whole lot less impressive or prolific you might say. Back in the days when almost every house on the planet had a Playstation or a Playstation 2, Halo brought gamers closer to the Xbox. With its fantastic graphics, story and a kickass protagonist, little was wrong with the game. Along came the 2nd Halo helping push the Xbox profile even further. And as the next generation of consoles kicked off, the 3rd Halo again had a big say, effecting sales of the whole system and helping the Xbox 360 move more consoles than the mighty Wii…for a few months at least. Many people complained about the 3rd installment in the series. Some said the graphics wasn’t up to par, other said the story was too short and offered little in originality but regardless of what was said, the game sold extremely well and millions of hours were logged in around the world online. It was just the right explosion the Xbox needed. Now, with a slightly less subdued launch, we have Halo 3: ODST, a single player cum multiplayer expansion that adds in a short campaign and a whole lot of multiplayer action. Love it or hate it, we have a new Halo on our hands, and a Halo that certainly adds something to the series."
