I purchased Halo 2 following all the hype over Halo 3. I beat Halo 1 a few years back and wanted to beat Halo 2 to get myself up to date. I currently only have a regular Xbox and am planning to purchase an Xbox 360 in order to play Halo 3. Overall, I would rate Halo 2 an excellent game and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes playing first-person games.
The best hell shooter around

why play Halo? don't ask me. but it's graphics are the best (only because i dont have a ps3 or a 360) and the plot will leave you drooling for the next one.
The good things:
1.instead of sticking solely on the master chief bungie gave a new name to the covenent; The Arbiter. altough the name sounds strangely boring it suits him well.
2.Master chief has a fancy more hell shooter looking suit that i thoght looked like a major improvement from the old one.
3.the new weapons were great and i love the homing rocket (great for other spartains and Banshees!) along with the plasma energy lasts longer unlike halo 1.
4.the background annd the foreground were amazing. tons of details into everything.
The bad
1.there is a annoying glitch where people disappear and appear in the cut scenes
2.The poor assault rifle (what happened to it?)
3.all of a sudden it makes the humans look as if they're winning and then... good-bye earth!
Mediocre 1st Person Shooter

The Legendary level is way much harder than Halo 1. The game is also boring I quit playing after a couple hours.

This game is absolute trash. In fact the whole Halo series is trash. The whole idea of an inter-galactic warrior batteling space creatures is a dumb idea. I played all of the games in the series and after 10 minutes with each of them I wanted to gauge my eyes out. Wht don't you go out and buy a real game like Saints Row, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six, or any other game that isn't this.If you even think about buying this you might as well throw your money into a fire and watch it as it slowly burns.
One of the best titles ever.

If you are a vetran of the first Halo game, this game will consume every waking hour of your time for at least a week. For true Halo fans, the flaws are few and not very major: The music is not as good, the levels have become more repetitive, and everyone's favorite- the assault rifle- is gone. But the pros outweigh the cons by far. The ability to pilot the awe-inspiring Wraith tank from Halo is great. The Scorpion's main cannon reload time is much shorter, although the tank itself is slower. The addition of Xbox Live is a definite advantage. And everyone who played the first game learned to fear the energy sword. Well, now you can wield it, complete with a one-hit-kill ability. If you are new to the genre, I HIGHLY suggest playing the first Halo before you play this one, in order to better understand the story and be familiar with the enemies, controls, etc. If you pass this game up, you'll be reminded of it constantly, as most everyone with an Xbox is playing it now. Don't miss out, this is a great game.
Not Just for Guys

This game is awesome! It's the sole reason I bought my X-Box. Being a girl, I've had many guys on X-box Live say this is a game just for guys, that is definetly not true. Being an avid gamer (and yes I do have a life other than video games), I can easily say that this game beats all first person shooters I've played. It's graphics are awesome, it's got secrets galore, the story line is great, and the X-box Live feature just makes it even better. I recomend this game or anyone who hasn't played it, or is having second thoughts.
Lives up to the hype-Top notch FPS experience.

Halo 2 is a top-notch FPS experience. It is not the "Best game ever made", but if you ar an Xbox owner, you have to buy it. If you like FPSs, buy Halo 2. IF you don't, then you probably won't like it.
Halo - Sequel? Or game on it's own?

Well, this game simply lives up to the name of it's predecessor. The story is great, not exactly original though. The music is great, and the Xbox Live is the best part! (I'm SkeletonPack) I'm trying to beat it on Legendary. Well, enjoy the game. (And if you play on easy, you're a noob)
One of the best FPS's for XBox

This game is just flat out excellent. The story line's great. The playability is great. The graphics are great. The amount of stuff you can do is great. Don't even get me started how great multiplayer is for this game. If you don't own this game, and you have an XBox or an XBox 360, and you love First Person Shooters, then buy this game.
