This is the worst game I have ever, EVER, played in 15 years. This is just the biggest pile of steaming crape that i have ever seen. I would rathe rip my tounge out and eat it then play this mind numbing trash.

"Where were you the day Halo 2 came out?"

I was reading the official Xbox mag about a month ago and that was the way they began an article that was about how well the game sold it's first day out. Then they (seriously) went on to compare the day Halo 2 came out to the day Kennedy was shot in terms of cultural significance. And never have I been so completely disgusted, offended and pissed off while reading a gaming mag. The article began by conceding that maybe the release of Halo 2 isn't quite as significant as November 22, 1963, but my point is that this is OBVIOUS, and the concession felt halfhearted. How dare they?! I mean, aside from the fact that this game is not even that great, its release is no more significant than the release of any other VIDEO GAME (except i suppose to the FANBOYS who actually lost sleep waiting up all night for it to come out.) I went to RENT this game a single week after it came out and it was certainly on the shelf. An hour later i could see why. Shoot, run, shoot, duck, shoot, hide--long cut scene-- repeat. it was boring, and I LOVED the first Halo. I don't know how The people at bungie could spend 3 years tweaking a SEQUEL, and end up with a product that is not only no better, but also SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER than its predecessor. I have nothing against first person shooters, but by the time i got past the bit where you are up againt the flood i was bored to tears. Folks go on about the story, but i'm like 'What story?' I wasn't even paying attention, because IT'S A SHOOTER. If you're gonna make a game that's supposed to be the best SHOOTER ever made, why interrupt the fighting with a bunch of corny ___ drama?? Furthermore, even a novice storyteller could tell you that limiting the audience time with a main character will only make you care about him/ her LESS, which has the unavoidable consequence of weakening any drama the storyteller is trying to create. What does bungie do? Take us away from the Master Chief and have us fighting as a covenant. Halo 1 had a really nice balance of story and action, better weapons, better atmosphere.. better everything. Halo 2 has online which is cool i haveto admit, but it doesn't make this a 5 star game. Here's some bad points of the game: you move too slow, like you're feet are in mollasas, you jump too unrealistically high--not expecting realism out of a video game, but if something aint broke why change it, especially if you're gonna make it worse? The new regenerating shield was a bad idea.. no more drama in running around with almost no energy left looking for health and finding it just in time.. just find a corner and wait for your shields to come back up. WEAK WEAPONS. Anybody who has been into Halo since game one and actually says that the new weapons- even with dual weilding- is an improvement over the old style pistol, smg, and shotgun.. is probably a fanboy.
2 star tho, cuz i'd be lying if i said the first few battles weren't fun, but mostly the other star because, when those first two Brutes blow up that wall and step onto the scene like rockstars.. that's pretty cool. If this game had not taken three years to make, had not had all the fanfare built up around it, and if the people at bungie and i guess xbox in general did not come off as so self satisfied with their product i don't think i would have disliked the game as much as i do.

This is by far the worst game ever. I will only beat it 5 more times ... Tonight. It is short, so short i beat it in an hour and a half. I have 3 preordered copies: 1 for my game collection, 1 to play, and 1 to set on fire. If i knew that this was such a heaping pile of [crap], I would have only bought two. (...)

GREAT game, but...

I remember being very excited about getting this game in the mail. I must say, I was impressed by the new features and overhauled graphics. However, unless you have xbox live (which, sadly, I don't), this game gets quite boring after a good amount of playing on Campaign mode.

Now, before you all hit that "No" button below this review where it asks, "Did this review help you?" let's be fair and establish the true reason why it's there.

The purpose of that button is NOT to tell me whether or not you agreed with my review, but rather to tell me whether or not the review helped you make your decision on buying the product. With that in mind, please choose wisely before clicking on your decision.

I don't get it!!

Wow. First off I have to ask every one, what is that great about this game? Some say that its a bunch of fun to go around and shoot the crap out of things, but having played both Halo 2 AND The Punisher, the Punisher dominates when it comes to all out killing virtual people. Some people say its the storyline, the storyline really isn't all that great either when you come to think about it, I mean anyone could have pulled that out of their butt. Hmmm a huge weapon that can blow up a planet?? that sounds familiar... Ohhh that's right it's called the DEATHSTAR!!! The graphics are pretty good but I have seen better, so I wouldn't say they're outstanding. The controls are pretty good as well, but basically they are the exact same controls that every other FPS shares, so its nothing new.
The ONLY good thing that really came out of Halo 2 is the online but that gets SOOOOO limited, and everyone cheats or finds glitches that give them a huge advantage anyway.
So lets take another look at Halo 2. The game has a P.O.S. storyline, the graphics are less than spectacular, the control isn't great, its just standard, and when it comes to flat-out shooting people and feeling big about it, it STILL isn't that great. So whats the big deal? After playing, seeing, and experiencing better games, Halo 2 is really just a bore. I only play it for the multiplayer. (Which wasn't worth the $50).

Disappointed Halo Fan

This is for single player only. I really like the first Halo, and still play it often, but I find Halo 2 to be a disappointment. The game is way too short, I finished it in only a few hours. At first I thought I had only completed one level, but much to my surprise it was the whole game. They also ruined some of my favorite weapons. The needler, one of my favorites, is now practically useless. Never had a need for, or an opportunity to really use the sniper rifle, another favorite. The Banshee controls have been made way too difficult to use. I really enjoyed using the Banshee in the first game, but flying one in this game is a pain. Banshees also cannot hover or hold position, another pain. The play is also limited as far as where you can go and do, you don't have the same room to move around as in the first game. I was shocked to change from the master chief to a covenant part way through the game. This really destroys the whole game purpose, Earth against Covenant. I really have no interest in the Covenant side of the story, and feel the long Covenant story lines waste valuable fighting time. I was also disappointed in the levels of play, as the most difficult level is easier than in the original Halo. And the ending is a joke, as it happens practically in mid-battle. I also don't like that there are too many female characters. There are so many female voices you can barely tell which one is cortana, which effectively eliminates her character from the game. You simply don't have the one-on-one interaction with cortana that made the first game so compelling. The first time I played this game I kept expecting more, but it never came. Overall the game has excellent graphics, is entertaining, and is worth buying. But after playing in through a few times I have lost interest. Whereas I still play the original, which after a year or so is still fun. I sort of wonder if the game programmers got caught up in the hype from Halo and forgot premis of the first, thinking a wild story line and better graphics are more important than substance. This game is not really worth $50, I would wait to buy until prices come down.

This game is a load of horse s$#t!!!

Halo 2 is even worse than Halo 1. Halo 2 is more unrealistic than the first. The vehicles are mainly the same and the guns are a little different. If you didnt like the firt Halo dont buy this because it is even stupider. They should have changed the name because it sounds like a game for girls. The grafics havent gotten better. If you like realistic shooting games get Conflict Veitnam. It is very realistic and theres 14 missions and over 40 weapons.

oh so overrated

Halo is such an overrated game period. It is fun the first time but gets boring so quick, and is pointless. Halo one was ok but after a while it got so repetetive and long. They need to know when to quit. Now i don't have this game or an xbox because i dont want to waste my time with this. I really don't like this game. If you want to get a real good FPS then get counter strike source. Its realistic and actually hard, and fun. Halo doesn't make the cut in my opinion. If you like it then thats fine. I wouldn't hold it against you, but reconsider when you are looking at halo 1 or 2 and counter strike.(get CS source on pc)To all the halo fanatics who say killzone sucks you are naive. Killzone is a great game and is better than halo. So if you take the time to tell me im an idiot you are a huge nerd and need to find yourself a new hobby. So dont let people influence you into buying this game. Only buy it if you know you will like it. You can take that 50 bucks and buy some nice cologne to impress that really pretty girl in school. Or buy some nice clothes from hollister or something.

Has got to be the most overrated game of all time

Halo 2 has got to be the most overrated game of all time. People say that they love it and it's the best game ever, but what's fun about running around and shooting people? Just a few good things about the game take the world by storm, and it's annoying.

The multiplayer component, the graphics, the vehicles, and that's all. The game requires barely any skill either, you can beat Legendary mode real easy, unless you're that bad at the game. No challenge, no reason to be the best game of all time, the storyline is really unoriginal (wow, an alien invasion, how many times has that been implemented into a storyline...)
