I hadnt played a video game for over 5 years, since Playstation 1. I then buy an XBox 360 and this game came with the purchase as it was able to be played for the 360. So this was my first game I played in 5 years. I had surround speakers for the XBox and I just fell in love with this game. I havent played it in a year so theres only so much I can say. But you'll surely like it. I dont need to go in depth with the game and point out some minor flaw and compare it to other versions lol. But the music for this game, the scenery, the adventures, the story is just remarkable. When I eventually beat it (its a long game and I liked that), this cool music was playing, it felt like I was in a movie, I was so happy when I beat it. I felt as if I was the character I played and we did it lol. We saved the universe. It took so long to finish the game and it was an amazing experience. Especially with surround sound playing in the dark on your bed, you become apart of the game and it takes you on a wild ride. Buy it, you cant go wrong, nice addition to your collection at a cheap price.

great game, fast shipping

The original HALO was the game that saved the X-Box and kept Microsoft's fledging HALO 2 continues the adventures of Master Chief and the soldiers of Earth as they try to save the universe. Besides Master Chief's adventures, the game also has a parallel story that begins with a cut-scene on the Covenant homeworld. A Covenant Elite Supreme Commander is disgraced, beaten, and punished because of his failure to capture Master Chief and is selected by the High Prophets to be the Arbiter and atone for his sins. The Prophets believe that the Arbiter will soon be killed in action as all Arbiters were before him, but this Arbiter is different and isn't killed in action. Instead, he fulfills his first few missions, uncovers a secret about the High Prophets, and joins forces with Master Chief.

Story-wise, HALO 2 is a bit of a let down than HALO. The original game had a great story that was well contained and stands upon its own. Apparently the makers of HALO 2 decided to take a cue from bad Hollywood franchises and HALO 2 isn't self-contained. The game is just as fun to play as the original, but without having played the first game, some of the plot elements are lost on newbies. Of course, then there's the whole "cliffhanger" (aka dumb) ending for the game that isn't an ending at all.

A new improvement to the game is that characters can choose to fight with two weapons (of only certain types) at the same time.

The game has a great deal of replay value because of the great co-op features.

Overall, even though I was disappointed by some of the points of the story and the abrupt ending, I enjoyed playing HALO 2.

Halo 2, don't hold the ending against the whole experience!

So we were forced to play to much as Arbie, big deal. Don't be afraid to admit that you thought the game rocked right up to the cliffhanger (poor choice) ending. It was awesome watching the cutscene when MC went flying through a space battle holding on to that nuke-like, Covenant bomb! Also I enjoyed dual welding SMGs and Needlers. Halo 2 has given us some great gaming experiences both on line and in campaign. Atleast Bungie tried to improve and expand on the game's universe instead of just rehashing the first (awesome) title. They improved the look, sound and controls and gave us some new toys. Overall, it's an excellent game (just not as fun as the original, not counting LIVE play)!

Better than Halo

I really loved Halo. It had really good graphics and a really good story. Halo 2 on the other hand has great graphics and a great story. Halo 2 offers more weapons and more vehicles to drive in. Some of the weapons are not as effective as they were in the origional Halo. For example, the plama pistol and the magnum hand gun are pretty weak. But, the all new weapons make up for that. The rocket launcher can now lock on to enemy vehicles and you can now use the Couvenant energy sword which makes a divistating kill. There are also certain gliches found in the game when you play it a lot. And I mean.....a lot., which makes the game even more cool. Thanks for reading, and I hope my review came in handy. I have to go now because I'm in the middle of playing Halo 2. Nah I'm just kidding. I've already played this game three times already, and I don't think that I'll ever get tired of it.

Yes people. In my honest opinion it's much better than Halo 3. I played Halo 3 and beat it thinking it would show MC's face... it didn't.

Furthermore, Halo 3 was boring, and unimpressive. Although the soundtrack was amazing, Halo 2 is better in ALL aspects. The story is amazing, multiplayer is phenomenal, and if you don't have it already, I suggest you buy it this Christmas.

5/5

They are here. Prepair thyself.

You know you want to. You know they deserve it. Do something usefull. Tune out your troubles and kill the enemy. The Arbitor learns the truth and now the brainwashing is a memory. Find the key. Save your race. Also the human Spartan gets upgrade in armor has new weapons and he (you) gets to kill the brainwashed aliens. They deserve it. Buy the game and kill them. I did.

Solid sequel to a great game
