The Noir-type tone of the game is very calming and peaceful, and the use of color, just like Halo 3, makes for a gorgeous looking game, and a satisfactory depiction of New Mombasa. The series of events in the storyline are interesting in the way they're told, as well as the characters, while not too in depth, are likeable.

Though, the same looking buildings constantly surrounding you, and no real variation of gameplay makes it uninteresting to play, or it simply just feels like another Halo game with "vulnerable" ODSTs plastered on top of it.

Though, the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful, and conveys the Noir tone of the game perfectly.
