Unfortunately we were not graced with a preview copy of HALO 3: ODST and as such we have to rely on what others are saying about the game now that the embargo has been listed.
Instead of reporting on someone else’s review though I am just going to list all the reviews I can find along with the scores, sort of like a LazyMetaCritic…
IGN UK – 8.6
IGN USA – 9.0
IGN AU – 8.0
Joystiq – worth the money
Eurogamer – 8.0
CVG – 9.0
GamesRadar – 7.0
OXM – 9.0
GameTrailers – 8.9
Feel free to add more links when you spot them and I will update the story throughout the day, now I am just waiting for the negative attention grabbing reviews to skyrocket to the top of N4G…

No, but this is Halo we talking about. Review scores are inflated by at least 3 points to begin with.

Also, I was right when I called it a glorified expansion pack. Every review I have read commented about the full retail price.

Well halo 3 odst is the cheapest new 360 game you can buy this month!
R506.66 with free shipping from kalahari. So yeah, a large expansion pack to a great game = more great fun to be had.
The game is R380 at UK duty free 🙁 We have a buddy picking a few extra copies up for us.

It’s Halo, you either love it or hate it I guess…
I love the Halo multiplayer but generally hate the Halo players 😛
