All reviewsHalo 3: ODST2009
4 out of 5 starsThere are a lot of things I really liked about Halo 3: ODST, and there are a lot of things that bugged me about Halo 3: ODST. That sentence should nicely sum up my review score.

There will be points where you have to hold out against waves of…

There are tons of customization options, and the game looks better than…
