Gamereactor (Norway) : Halo 3 ODST Review

Asmus Nergaard writes "At some point last year, Microsoft realized that they faced a sleek 2009-autumn.Having delivered a powerful bundle of games every fall since the launch of the Xbox 360 came suddenly a vacuum in 2009.So what do they do then? Bearing an additional package into a full-price game."

Uncharted 2 8/10
Halo ODST 10/10.

[jahcure]

wtf......

[KingKionic]

yeah...

They like halo more .

[Sunny_D]

This is Gamereactor(NORWAY). The main Gamereactor gave Halo ODST an 8 as well. But, this score, LOL.

[SupaPlaya]

when the reviewer mention how he's not going to like Uncharted 2's multiplayer anyways compared to Halo and Gears.

I don't see them mention Uncharted 's single player or Uncharted's graphics when doing the ODST review.

[table]

hehe. Unbelievable Gamereactor. All their representatives are out of their minds.

[G3TDOWN]

what they say is MICROSOFT paid Us Microsoft paid Us...

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

They need to fire some of their reviewers.

[G3TDOWN]

It's all run by a dumbazz that bought a website... now he is making money by Microsoft

[Turn 10 Studios]

woooooooooooooooooooooooh

THATS OWNAGE

[menoyou]

Ridiculous. These "professional reviewers" are out of their minds and are destroying the game industry. Why pour your heart and soul trying to make an amazing blockbuster hollywood movie style game with tons of replayability and groundbreaking graphics when you can just make a Halo expansion pack and get better scores/sales?

[JonnyBigBoss]

7 sound guys.

Because Uncharted / Uncharted 2 don't have arguably some of the best music and voice overs in gaming, right? These reviewers were either paid or have serious bias problems.

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

This sh*t is f*ck up.
It ain't cool.

Gamereactor is seriously lacking professionalism.

[Turn 10 Studios]

HaHa

Back to 8

same as Uncharted 2

Cannot wait

[ShabzS]

odst is as good as the reviews say?.. hmm ? i mean how many reviews with 8's and 9's have come out for it... IGN gave it a 9!! yet you all are still screaming bias.. get a grip.. its clear from most reviewers that the 60$ price tag is in question but the game's quality is pretty solid

and damn uncharted 2 is getting 10 on 10's from almost every site... so this guy gave it an 8 ... wats the big deal ? how does this effect you and uc2's quality ?

[FlameBaitGod]

Y wouldnt it get a better score than uncharted ? I has 3 new maps, 1 new game mode and a 4 hour campaign LOL!!!, this 360 fanboys are extreemely blind, they support their 66% failure rate console and paying 4 anything with halo on it LOL!. Paying 20 bucks for 3 new maps, 20 bucks for a new game mode and 20 bucks more for a 4 hour campaign which = 60bucks ROFL!!!!!!! This guys really dont have any good games to play. At least when I buy forza I know it will be worth it

[WenisWagon]

That's being a bit too generous.

[prowiew]

Again. How many halo reviews i have to read?

[TheFreak]

There are different gamereactors. you got Sweden, Denmark and Norway and no Norway is not the capitol in Sweden like some of you guys think. Gamereactor Norway gave Uncharted 2 9/10.... while Gamereactor Denmark gave Uncharted 2 8/10...

[Alcon Caper]

Approving translated sites hurts me every time. Oh well...

[TheColbertinator]

Sorry.Wish I had a more precise translator

[Alcon Caper]

Not your fault at all. I appreciate you finding the article. And it's all withing N4G Guidelines. I just personally don't like em cause they're sometimes annoying to read.

But thanks for contributing! Bubbles for the hellofit.

[TheColbertinator]

This is Gamereactor Norway,not Gamereactor Sweden.

Also the 10/10 and 5/5 systems of scores are very different.5/5 is more common than 10/10 games since they represent the 95%-100% range.

[cranium]

But they both come up as a perfect score on Metacritic.

[TheColbertinator]

Each site doesn't care about Metacritic.Thy only focus and give you their own reviews.The only other site who cares what the others think is IGN since they own Gamestats

[Grandreaper9999]

Didn't I just see a Gamereactor review of Uncharted 2 (8/10)?

Somebody pinch me. Surely this can't be real.

[TheBand1t]

Different Gamereactor. This is Gamereactor Norway. Gamereactor Sweden gave both ODST and Uncharted 2 an 8/10.

[Christopher]

Short campaign game with one extra mode otherwise the same multiplayer as the previous game vs a game that's literally leaped into the next generation and added a whole new multiplayer element.

Anyway, nothing I can do will talk sense into reviewers. Especially reviewers who think 50% of Uncharted 2 should be hard puzzles...

[solar]

this is gonna be good. wheres my popcorn...

[TheColbertinator]

Put away your popcorn.You'll enjoy what happens

[solar]

its like clockwork on this site. look at the 8/10 review for UC2, which im still on the fence to buy, compared to the 8/10 review here for Halo:ODST. the ps3 droids are going crazy calling the site everything under the book. its so laughable.

Destructoid is right. at least on this website. waiting on petition.

[TheColbertinator]

lol

[solar]

not only did that article from Destructoid get labeled as "fake" and "flamebait", it was an actual well written "BLOG" piece. ive seen much, much, much worse blogs get approved here as "N4G". its sad that the users/members of this so called "gamer community" didnt accept it. but then again, why criticize the ps3?

[Snatcher]

THIS IS GAMEREACTOR NORWAY, not SWEDEN. Learn to read.

[Grandreaper9999]

It's still Gamereactor isn't it? Or are they a completely different entity?

[Kraken]

As you can see it says "beta test". The actual review can be found here-> http://www.gamereactor.no/a...

[SupaPlaya]

what's up with the 2 different score and the "Beta Test"?

Fishy...

[Flyingelephant]

then it certainly should'nt have given odst an 8 as well, if Uncharted 2 get's an 8 then odst deserves a 3 seeing as how it's not even half of the quality of uncharted 2. But alas, no gameractor site is even listed on metacritic for good reasons me thinks...

[Evoluti0n]

Here we go again.

[Dsnyder]

This Halo thing is getting highly disturbing. Game that innovate and try new ideas get based while generic games like this that make the same ideas over and over get praised and showered with money. Are gamers afraid to try new things? To go into new territory? Are you really that happy when you recieve halo 14?

[mrv321]

Halo:ODST 10/10
Uncharted 2 8/10

Hmm... WHAT THE HELL?

I mean there's so much wrong with that I don't even care to explain. Firstly Graphics Uncharted wins, Gameplay Uncharted wins, Story Uncharted wins, Online Draw(pretty close), Sound Uncharted wins

So you decide, Uncharted 2 which is one of the best games I've played or Halo 3 with 5 hours of story.

[PandemicPrawn0]

I can agree that uncharted2 has the better graphics. No argument there.

But to be fair, chances are you haven't played either of these games yet so your probably not in much of a position to compare the gameplay or story of either.

Both games are getting great reviews and Uncharted2 will be a very strong contender for most GOTY awards.

So just relax, OK?

[mrv321]

I've play Halo 3 online and completed the singleplayer.

I'm also playing the Uncharted 2 demo a bit too much... it's far superior in my opinion.

[Double Toasted]

it'll make you famous...Who said that? I think it was Butch Cassidy...

[Killzonegamer84]

WOW

[Pizzagaki]

ODST GOTY Confirmed.
Actually, Forza 3 will be even better!

[Saaking]

Good joke pizza...NOT. Only a fanboy would say something like that. UC2 is of much greater quality than either of those two games.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

we know what it is. if these reviews wanna plaster halos name in a uncharted review thats fine. we knew it would happen. this is the reviewers way of saying fck you sony fans because we kicked thier a$$ in arguments since 2008. i dont think the most gullable casual gamer will know wtf these bogus reviewers are saying. and it doesnt matter what they say.

the metacritic for uncharted 2 can be a 5 and uncharted 2 could lose goty to halo or some other xbox game. nothinng we could do except ask sony to black ball these websites. sony listens so if more of us ask sony to drop em and make it illegal to talk about playstation. sorry but sony does not support this website.

bloggers aka the gaming media on a lunch break can talk but whoever listens to bloggers? seriously.
i think its all about voice chat really.

[testerg35]

Wooohoooo.. let's blame MS, let's blame Xbox fanboys. There's no way someone cannot actually like UC2. If reviewers like ODST, they must have paid off!

[Sumadyan]

Good reviews for ODST are paid off, bad reviews for UC2 are bias,

/sarcasm off

same n4g bs, different thread.

Uncharted is gears combat/ tomb raider exploration rip off, how can anyone think that's innovative?
