So I just finished my 3rd playthrough of [b]Halo 3[/b] and as epic as I find driving off the ring (?) I find it to be very annoying as well.
I still have ODST but I don't like it one bit, but I'm thinking about trying it out once more...

I was thinking the same thing.... -epic
Halo seems to like the running away from explosions endings, but for a game that is usually much easier when you take your time, the sudden rushed feeling makes me more frustrated than exhilarated. That level in particular has so much moving scenery that you are basically supposed to die repeatedly until you remember what pathway doesn't blow up.
ODST was actually pretty easy for the last few missions. I only played the Heroic difficulty, but the bruits that I tried to avoid at start were easily dispatched in packs by the end. the key is using the right weapons (all covey weapons work well... SMGs, Pistols and Shotguns suck.) Though I wasn't annoyed with the game, the story is just lame. The battles are lame as well... so if you are fine with a lack luster experience, ODST will be okay for you.
I am playing [b]Skyward Sword[/b] and so far, I couldn't be happier.
