Microsoft - Campaign lengths - View Post

Halo 3:ODST only takes 5 hours to pass this game on Normal/Easy mode. A lot of people do not play games much higher than Easy/Normal mode. The higher difficulty settings would increase the length of the gameplay due to enemies being more difficult to kill and you take less damage before you are killed on higher difficulty settings.
Minimum of 5 hours up to 9 hours on the most difficult setting for campaign mode.
Online Multiplayer adds a lot of replayability which more enough makes up for the short campaign mode. 21 Halo 3 maps are included plus 3 new Halo maps. New Firefight mode added to the online as well. 4 player co-op for campaign in Halo 3:ODST.

Most games get boring after finishing the campaign once through on Normal mode. Only the great games are worth playing through multiple times.

Critical review scores between 8 and 9 seem fair for this game.
