Halo 3: ODST

Polished and just as competent as prior entries, but the roughly four-hour campaign feels far too short to justify a full $60 price. It plays like overpriced downloadable content padded out from a planned mini-campaign, earning a slightly-above-average verdict despite widespread overrating elsewhere.

Solid Halo entry differentiates by ODST vulnerability. Firefly cast + Firefight co-op shine; minimal innovation overall.
