This game rules! It is amazing the how the graphics are. This is a classic but not as good as Halo. It still deserves five stars though. Some of the new weapons are the Beam Rifle, and Energy Sword. The Energy sword is my favorite. My favorite vehicle is probably the Spectre. Now the vehicles can blow up. YEA!!! Overall a must buy (however make sure your Xbox is strong.. mine wasn't and I kept on having to clean the disc).

This game had a lot of hype before it was released and it lives up to it.

Both single player and multiplayer are awesome. The sound is incredible and the graphics are the best that will put out by the XBOX.

The best part of this game for me is to play CO-OP Campaign on Legendary with a buddy. Nirvana.

Wow!!!

Very well designed game, with few flaws. Once you pick up the controller you wont want to put it down. You will be telling yourself, 'ok, just one more level then i will go..' or 'one more round then i will shut it off' over and over again.

Halo 2 review

Halo 2 is a fantastic game. If there are any people left that are still sitting on the fence, it is definitely worth the money. That said, not all is perfect with this game.

Halo's single player experience was probably the best I have ever experienced (with the possible exception of KOTOR). You could follow the logic of each mission in relation to the story arc and, subsequently, everything you did felt important, be it storming a wide-open snowscape or running the gauntlet of an exploding ship. Halo 2's campaign does not compare so favorably. The first couple levels are of a quality with the original, but then the game pulls an MGS2-esque move by putting you in the alien shoes of the Arbiter, an elevated Elite in the Covenant. Nothing is technically wrong with the Arbiter levels, but I had a powerful sense of apathy while playing them. I wanted to get back to the "important" parts with Master Chief, and even though the Arbiter is a good facet of the story, he is not that fun to play. Also, the levels seem to be stretched more than they should have. Many levels come in "pairs" and, when combined, only amount to about 8 Halo-length levels. However, the revamped Legendary difficulty adds to the replay value, as does the return of co-op play.

Halo 2's multiplayer is where the game shines. If you never took the time to organize a 16-player LAN for the original Halo, you likely saw only untapped potential for large-scale battles. Even without this experience, Halo's already tight control returns even more refined, and the weapons are more numerous and more balanced (as soon as you figure out how to counter the sword). The tools are there, and Xbox Live elevates the game to incredible new heights. The online service has the most complete integration of any game to date, giving you great control of who you play with and what you want to play. Also, an auto-update released over the service further tweaked the balance so that melees are now effective, as well as introducing a slew of quality new maps. Halo 2 is without question the best Xbox Live game and the online battleground is a great way to elevate your game.

Although I didn't touch on the graphics or sound, rest assured that they are both very high quality (even though I wish the Covenant voices had been in their own language with subtitles), and they both add a lot to the gameplay. Halo 2 has a single-player experience that is only lackluster when compared to the original, and its multiplayer is unbelievably top-notch

Excellent Shooter w/ Robust Networking Features

Granted, I give the first Halo 6 out of 5 stars, and the campaign level in this sequel involves a story not as compelling as the first story was to me.

But this game is about more than just the campaigns. I spent three or four weeks working through them. Now I spend my days battling my sons via System Link (we have two Xboxes on the family network and two copies of the game), or on the free but sometimes glitchy Xbox Connect, or on Xbox live. The proximity voice programming is very good as is the team communication feature. I wish they'd made it so that you could be weaponless (for the smackdown tourneys out there), and I miss the fall damage from the first game, but these are minor complaints when one considers the lushness of the maps, the variety of weapons and vehicles, the art of the grenade stick and the many other aspects of this game that make it every playable with the other fans of this great software.

If you're just looking for a First Person Shooter to play alone, this game is very good to excellent anyway. But if you are inclined to network, this is the game to get and develop some skills in.

The Gamer's Game

This game is, in a word, incredible. The single player, while not containing all that Bungie promised, is still one of the finest experiences yet to be had on any system. From the very beginning when you first pick up the battle rifle, to the end when you drop your energy sword for the last time, you are completely immersed in the majestic qualities of this game. Each weapon feels completely different, from the stunning accuracy of the beam rifle to the erratic firing patterns of the SMG. The four difficulty settings ensure that you will be killing the Covenant for a long, long, time. The hardest difficulty, "Legendary", is incredibly hard, providing some frustrating, but still inexplicably fun, moments.

As good as the single-player campiagn is, multiplayer blows it away. If you have Xbox Live, then you are in for THE best experience available on the service. If you don't have Xbox Live, get it, because it IS worth it, just for this game. Each multiplayer map is unique, and can be played with any gametype. Each gametype is also fully customizable, with a set scenario that can be edited to the player's content. This is truly a game for the ages.

Just a reminder...

Just a reminder that if you plan to play Halo 2 on the x360 (as we all do), just remember that the grpahics won't be affected that much as teh game software cannot properly utilize the amazing hardware of the XBox 360.

Great Game
