As a writer by trade, I know a great storyline when I see one, and Halo 2 has just that. The characters have grown up a bit, becoming more intertwined in their relationships and the environment around them.
The covenant storyline is a welcome addition that serves to round out the overall game play. I like the fact that you now see the action from both sides as dark inner elements draw the main characters toward each other.
I'm not going to reveal much more on the storyline as to not ruin the many surprises that awaits.
Overall, this game is a well designed fun fest that was worth the long wait. Now bring on Halo 3!!!!
Great game

When I got the first Halo it blew me away. It was as Revolutionary as 007 GoldenEye was on N64! As far as Halo2, I did not enjoy the story line nearly as much as the first Halo. But.... the multi-player via Xbox Live is THE BEST multi-player Fist Person Shooter ever!!! Halo3 is going to blow my mind.
It's Halo.

Great game, Halo rocks! My wife became upset with me because I beat it in 2 days of her buying it for me! That would have to be my only negative comment, the gameplay was way to short and not that difficult.
good graphics, fun, long, AWSOME!!!!!!!

THIS WAS DEFINETLY THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED, IT TOOK ME ABOUT 12 HOURES TO BEAT (WHICH IS A LONG TIME FOR ME;i BEAT THUG 1 IN 6, AND HALO 1 IN 10) ALTHOUGH i WOULDN`T SAY THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN HALO 1(WHICH WAS AWSOME, 5 STARS), IT HAS MORE WEAPONS AND BETTER GRAPHICS.
THIS IS DEFINETLY A MUST HAVE, 9.6 STARS BY GAMESPOT.

This game is so much fun. The many different game modes/maps, make this game a must buy for both xbox and xbox 360 owners. Even when just playing with 3 friends, this game is still incredibly fun. The single player story mode is also long and satisfying, and really fills you in on many aspects of the halo plot. The graphics are very nice looking, and the sound is great too. I would definitely either buy the map pack, or if you have xbox live, download the map pack/patch. The patch is especially important as it fixes many glitches like the rocket/sword lunge, and many others.
Amazing Game

I've been meaning to get this game forever and finally got around to it. It's amazing how much fun it is and once you get on live it really starts to shine. Can't wait for Halo 3 and see if bungie can keep the streak of great games alive.
Halo: They love it.

The campaign was ok. It was not that entertaining. But multiplayer on Xbox live is fantastic. It is easy to manage a clan and a friends list, it is easy to set up or join games, and it is also alot of fun to play with friends in one of the many maps that it offers. I love the game and yes, if you do play it hours on end it will get boring but if you play it mabye one or two hours a day, it is worth buying and you will get your moneys worth.
The second in along line of great fps'

Halo 2 is a great game but there are a few flaws.
The graphics are pretty good but the facial animations suck. People are going to hate me for dissing this game but it IS THE most overated Xbox game of all time.
Xbox Live is definately where this game shines brightest. Granted there are a few modders but I happen to be a professional glitcher. If you want to play to win, you play a normal game. If you want to glitch, play a game with a few likeminded friends or custom game.
The story is almost identical to the first one except you get to play as the Covanant, and no matter how many times you play it the ending will still SUCK.
