I really like ODST.
It captures the atmosphere of what post-destruction New Mombasa would look like after the Covenant have been terrorizing it, it displays the skills and durability of the ODST (UNSC's Special Forces group of soldiers) perfectly, it shows that Halo has more depth in it's story than what the Spartans are doing, and most importantly, it has Nathan Fillion in it.

It was good.
Could've been better, but I certainly enjoyed it.
Soundtrack was amazing though, personally it's my favourite soundtrack out of all the Halo games...

I got a new copy for $20 and for that I'd say it was worth it. It isn't my favorite Halo but there's no flood so I like it a lot more than the second half of the other three numerical Halo titles. I kind of liked how the multiplayer was its own disc but I never really used it honestly. After Reach came out though I stopped caring about it though...Reach was my favorite because of no flood and, armor customization that works outside of multiplayer.
Dutch: Like the Good Book says, "Payback is a *****!"
Mickey: Dutch, I don't think that's in there.

It's my favourite Halo game. I just wish it was longer, a bit more different, and had an actually useful SMG.
The characterisation in ODST was pretty good. The Firefly references was nice extra.
I didn't enjoy Reach's characters because they were so undeveloped or bland in comparison, and I only started liking Noble team in any way after half of them were dead.

I think that it was the best campaign to come out of the Halo franchise. The subtle changes in mood and game-play really worked for me. But it should have either been longer or cheaper. And it definitely wasn't worth it for the people who had forked out their money for DLC *shakes fist*
I loved it.
Quite enjoyed the game. The challenge level was pretty high (despite the incredible hours I've spent gaming, I am not actually very good at it), but it was rewarding. I also liked the ending. It was a pretty clever way to explain how your godlike self didn't survive.

Maked good for the dissapointment that's called Halo 3.
I love the whole series but 3 was/is something I just can't seem to like.

My biggest gripe is that Bungie still doesn't know how to make a good looking female character. For example:RaffB said:
Also, Romeo was pretty hated on and Buck looked pretty strange, but the game still had its moments.
I didn't really like the whole free roaming part, it didn't really work very well and I constantly found myself bored and/or lost. Apart from that its a great game, worth the money and time.
Although I was never a big Halo fan, it was the only game I ever really played online back when I had an Xbox 360 because I was actually very good at it. I enjoyed Halo 3 to an extent, but it was mostly because I played online and through the campaign with my friends. However, I tackled ODST by myself and I enjoyed it. I thought the story was a lot more interesting than Halo 3's and the atmosphere and characters created a much more engaging narrative. My problem with it however was not only was it short, it was also too easy. I did the game on my own on legendary on the first play through and I can't recall ever being in a situation where I struggled to progress.
should have been a downloadable game. If compared to the £40 price tag, it wasn't worth the cost, but overall it was a generally good game. It did a lot of things right, even if Firefight was limited. I liked it.
I liked it. It was a nice change of pace for the Halo series. It let you incorporate stealth in a series that was mainly run & gun and had the atmosphere to make it work. I enjoyed the Firefight mode as well. The maps worked well for it and the difficulty multipliers(skulls) made each wave a little bit more challenging. It was all-in-all a good game with a solid campaign/co-op element. Plus, it came with all of the multiplayer maps for Halo 3 so it technically had a competitive multiplayer as well. So the whole deal was great.
I liked it, one of the better Halo Games I thought, even though the cutscene animation was a little cartoonish. It had a cool and clever story though and some good level design and characters, which is more tan can be said for most over Halo games.
My favourite character was Brick, at least I think that was his name, the little, quiet techie/demolition guy.

A good game. Not infinitely replayable like some of the Halo titles, but remember that this is a side-story. It's not *meant* to be epic and every second of it filled with exploding alien space ninjas shooting double-bladed laser katanas out of their asses. Rambling through the city can get repetitive if you're itching for some usual Halo-fare, but the flashback missions are good (and much better played cooperatively). Yes, Dare and Buck are ugly SOBs and look out of place in a Halo game. Yes, the non-existent sexual tension is needlessly overplayed. Yes, hearing the f***ing try-hard "atmospheric" sax-fellating soundtrack while you walk through the f***ing rain in circles gets tiring. But hey, no game is perfect.
Also: The best version of Firefight mode, which was first bastardised and then euthanised in Reach by Bungie and 343 respectively. Play ODST Firefight with 3 decent friends and tell me you're not having fun.
Also Also: It comes with the ultimate Halo 3 multiplayer disc featuring ALL DLC maps. What the hell more do you want?
If you're picking up ODST these days it's likely to be a bargain-bucket purchase, so you'll be getting your money's worth.
