After beating it, I'd have to say that it's a good game, but not a great game. Well worth the price for Halo fans, and probably a good game even for people who are just seeking a decent FPS. I ended up liking the cast, despite the fact that the characters all seem to be based on various soldier archetypes. I felt that the game had the best soundtrack in the series, and the gameplay tweaks to make it feel more human were very welcome -- some firefights seemed incredibly tense and rewarding because of the health system, lack of uber jumping, and slower run speed.
However, the city didn't feel very open-ended after all, and for the most part seemed incredibly dull for me. I feel like there was a lot of wasted potential to hide some extras or something besides the audio logs and a stray weapon here and there. The flashback missions were fine, but the Rookie's nighttime sections were just not as good.
Overall, I feel like it's a B-level game.

yeah you make a fair point, the city was very limited, but within that space there was also 1 route, that being the shortest one. about the firefights, engageing random patrols and enimies whipst manovering the city was by far my favourate, as when looking for a clue two patrols actually bumped into me, giving me a large firefight on my almost nothing ammunition :D
