Master Chief and the Covanent dont go good together

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 0 / 6

Date released: 2004
Rating: M for Mature
Genre: Gory, Action

The Covenant Are on the Earth trying to give the prophet of truth enough time to activate all of the sacred rings to destroy every human life force in the galaxy. By doing this the covenant will destroy the flood by starving them to death. So the Master Chief (which is you) has to follow him and stop him before the prophet can do this.

When you're playing this game and you get to your level that you're on, it looks like real environments from somewhere in space or in the world. Its so realistic that if you shoot one of your guys he will die, it even shows all of the blood, it is awesome even when someone is dead on the ground (enemy or ally) you can look at the ground where their laying and melee attack them and make more blood come out.

The voices in this game are awesome they fit the characters perfectly. The voices are awesome sounding like the Master Chief he has a low voice. The grunts all of them (which are over a hundred) are sounded by one person, it would be pretty hard to do that, the grunts have a high voice as the game says the grunts are the infantry group of the covenant elite force. Speaking of Elite the game has another group of the covenant they are called the Elites, they have normal pitched voices, they are also sounded by one person. The brutes have the lowest voices plus their traitors against Everyone, Also there are The Drones, the drones are new to the covenant elite force so are the brutes the drones don't talk but they screech, they are bug like. The strongest out of all the covenant are the Hunters, the hunters don't talk they stand 12ft and have armor all over their body, you cant tell what they look like because of the armor, they have the most powerful gun attached to their arm. Another of the covenant are the jackals they have a shield attached to their arm. The jackals stand 5ft 10.

You have to buy, rent, or borrow this game from a friend or a video game store near you. If you like blood, gore, guns, statistics, strategies, and much more Halo2 is the game for you, Halo2 in stores now.

The most realistic game ever!

One of the most cleverly put together games that I have ever played, Halo 2 is without a doubt, better than the first. Much more detail and much more combat, it feels like you are really in the game. However there is a little too much problem solving and too many puzzles. Also, near the end of the game, a level ends in the middle of a battle with the leader of the enemy, which is very frustrating. But other than that, it is a very good game. Your allies in the game are very smart and will follow you around and protect you. Yes, Halo 2 is the best game ever!

Does it live up to the hype?

Let me first start this review by saying that this is NOT the best FPS ever made. That honor still belongs to Halo 1, which I believe will not be topped for a very long time (even when Halo 3 comes out). Another question: Does it live up to the massive hype that has been building up ever since the first screens were released? In my humble opinion: Not really. It is, indeed, a great game. But the single mode is just too dissapointing on many levels. First, let me start off by saying that the story DOES NOT take place on earth. Second, the Master Chief is not the only character you play as. And third, the story is just not that great. The Arbitor (while cool) is not as cool as the Master Chief. To make matters worse, the story doesn't even have an ending. This game (unlike the first) contains no innovation at all besides the energy sword. The Assault Rifle is replaced by the SMG, which is weak as.....heck. The pistol is useless, and duel wielding isn't really that great. It may seem like that I've been ripping on this game since the beginning of this review, but there are some high points. The gamplay is near perfect, the music is amazing, and the graphics are pretty good (besides the ugly pop-in). Overall, I think this game will be remembered for its tremendous hype, rather than its story.

Graphics:9

Sound:10

Halo2 is probobly the most vantastic games very made being a huge fan of the first me and my friends waited until Nov9th cam I was petrafied to what a vantastic game it was you can do any thing that you think woulde be cool to do in a battle jack vehicles trade weopons with marines

Im afraid there are no quads but tons of new weopons and vehicles new enemys as well

but aside from the campaign probobly the bigest heart stopper is how awsome the multi player is tons of maps and everything that is in campaign is also in multi player Im talking about Banshees Wraiths and Gun turrets
Theres also an expansion to the multiplayer with 9 new huge levels and there are so much ways you can customize your charecter and u can even give him his own type of flag and the best part is that u can play online

so pick up this game as soon as you can

A GREAT GAME WITH LITTLE FLAWS

ok now the graphics for Halo 2 are very detailed and very realistic so I give the graphics 5 stars.
The campaign mode for halo 2 is very fun, but it can get a little boring and sometimes hard after a while; so I give the campaign mode 4 stars.
The multiplayer mode for Halo 2 I give 2 thumbs up, 5 stars, and Bungie a pat on the back for such an awesome multiplayer mode and what would Halo be WITHOUT multiplayer mode? Ugh.... I shudder to think.....

Sure they changed the weapons around a little but I think thats an IMPROVEMENT. Halo 2 has very nice (and fun) weapons so I give the weapons 5 stars (and my favoriate weapon is the awesome energy sword)

Now the flaws..... :(
1) the ending of campaign mode sucks
2) campaign mode can get boring
3) if you don't have friends, don't buy the game because
multiplayer is the best feature of Halo 2, and Halo 2
would be garbage without it

So my point of view is that you should buy this game because Halo 2 is byfar the BEST game for Xbox. Keep up the great work Bungie!

I hope that this review was helpful to you
God Bless

When I played Halo 2, it was like watching a movie. A CGI movie to be more specific. The graphics are awesome and highly realistic. The sound was like a chorus and a orchrestra put together. And some nice rock music put in it to. I love the gameplay too cause of dual shooting. The story was confusing at first but I figured it out in a hour. The multiplayer is awesome even though my brother and I don't have Xbox Live. Overall if you like to buy a FPS then choose Halo 2 over anything else. Its a great game.

2nd Best Video Game Sequel ever made!

I Think this game is awesome for people who are interested in first person shooters. I'm actually a big fan of first person shooting like Turok: Evolution, and Half-Life! but I think Halo 2 is like one of the best 2nd Video Game Sequels ever made (in my Opinion)! and besides if I bought the X-Box 360 (Microsoft's New Video game System) I would recommend my first game to be Halo 2!

Almost better than the first

When I first got Halo 2 on the day it came out I was hyped to play it. I thought that the graphics where very good. The sound tracks were amazing and the gameplay was as good as the first. I didn't like that the levels were really easy. Some of the weapons that were in the first were better than the one's in Halo 2. You are hardly the Master Cheif and you have to play as the Arbiter (the Elite). After you beat the game there is not much that you can do with it. But during the gameplay I thought that it was really fun at the time. I would prefer games like Doom 3 that is coming out on April 4. I have played the computer version of it and I am planning on getting it on X-Box. It is a really fun, scary, and challenging game. It will scare you out of your pants. There is plenty of single player action in Doom 3 compared to Halo 2.

If you don't like it, your not worthy to to even own a XBox

Halo 2 is an action packed game with pretty straight foward gameplay- fallow the path, maybe flip a switch, and don't die. Sure the single player mode isn't great, but it's not bad either, all i'm saying, is that the story could have used a little more work. Multiplayer is fast and exiting, with friends, foe's, or people you don't even know online. So if you have Xbox Live, GET THIS GAME! If you don't have Xbox live, get it anyway!
