Summary

New Mombasa is in ruins, yet the fight is far from over. Halo 3: ODST drops players onto the streets of the besieged city in this first-person shooter. Assume the role of “The Rookie”, an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, and discover the truth behind the Covenant invasion. Engage in intense online multiplayer battles with the complete collection of Halo 3 multiplayer maps – including three all-new battlefields – and join your teammates in Firefight, a new cooperative mode that pits you against waves of Covenant invaders.

Halo 3:Walking simulator started off like a drag, but it grew on me, piece by piece. The music, the atmosphere, hell, the story kept me hooked, even when I was ready to bail. I kept pushing till I reach the end, And then I reached the ending, felt like a punch that never landed.

Still, I had a good time, even if the payoff didn’t match the ride.

If you ever Fall for a woman, make sure she has balls

Definitely lacks the gravitas the rest of the Halo franchise delivers, but still fun. I like the spooky vibe that permeates the game as you walk the streets of New Mombasa alone. You never know when you turn the next corner if you're in the clear, or you'll encounter 2 Hunters ready to send you to your last checkpoint. The story is....well it's there, take it or leave it. Coastal Highway is easily the best level, almost on par with most levels from the previous games. I will say the game feels very empty. When in the streets, you really have absolutely nothing to do but move to your next map marker, which gets pretty tedious around halfway through. If I'd played this game when I was younger, I definitely would have had a huge crush on Dare. Maybe I still kinda do...

I'm not sure why there are boring and tedious walking sections between the exciting levels but it was a fun game otherwise.
