Video Game Reviews of Halo 2
Customer Review: The Best Game Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
It's the best game I have ever played, this is per my 12 year old grandson. I purchased it for him as he has all the Halo games and is waiting for the next one to come out. He loves playing Halo as they are exciting and challenging.Customer Review: Better than Halo
Summary: 3 Stars
Halo 2 improved over Halo with better controls, dual wielding, and a few new weapons and enemies. One should be prepared for a little confusion, you not only fight as the master chief, in some chapters you fight as an enemy called the arbiter. I found this somewhat confusing and did not really care for playing the arbiter, it seemed like I was betraying my side. While it is a fun game, there are others I like much better.Customer Review: Sweet game!!!

I own Halo Combat Evolved (Halo 1) and its pretty good but when I played Halo 2 at my cousins house it blew Evolved right of the map! Great graphics, awesome game play, about 1000 different weapons (alien and UNSC). You get to play as the alien traitor "THE ARBITER" and Master Chief (rip out guts tough as nails type of guy). Unfortunately as "THE ARBITER" you can's kill humans. Story lines...eh... who am I kiding it sucked but ya' know, ya' win some ya' lose some. I strongly recommend this game! Oh, buy the way this game wouldn't be rated M if when you whack a flood (zombie like creatures) they kinda' explode. Customer Review: Just as good as the original.

Even though it shouldn't have to be said, this game is really good. Really good. If you ever played the first Halo, "Halo: Combat Evolved", then you should immediatly buy this sequel. You won't be dissapointed. My only complaint about this game is the missing Assault Rifle, but it was easy to get over because of the added in SMG. If you play Halo 2, I guarantee you won't ever be able to get enough of it. And just incase you do, I suggest you go buy a 360 and get Halo 3. Just trust me on this one, would I lie to you?Customer Review: The game that brought xbox its glory. Halo Combat Evolved. Ambitious and Exciting.
Summary: 5 Stars
Halo 2 is a great game with quality flare and just about everything imaginable to back it up. There is no true flaw to this game but nothing exactly in the game feels non-stop. Not to say that there isn't moments where you just can't help but scream "I love this game", but there could be more heart pounding scences.
Halo like many FPS's has a pretty bland story and you feel yourself just skipping many story elements for the basic fact that they are too long. The game exceeds any game of it's time but feel as if "we've done this before right?". Halo has many vehicles to choose from, Tanks, Aircrafts and hovercrafts. The one thing though is that there is not a wide array to choose from and the aircraft you see most in the game you cannot even pilot it.
One of the changes from the old game is now you are able to use a sword and believe me many people wanted it in the game. It can be difficult to use it as the sword loses power everytime you attack an object. There is only one sword to choose from which doesn't help the lack of weapons. You do go through many weapons but it can feel all too easy to get caught up using one weapon. In intense levels though you frequently must pick up another weapon to battle the aliens that want to kill you.
A few things in the game are destructible but not enough to feel like that much of an intense firefight. Many of the times instead you will see the marks of a shot in the wall or the blood of you or your enemies, which makes it feel like a warzone after it is all said and done. Many times in the game you have A.I controlled partners who are extremely smart in fact if they see you killing too many of them they will start to fire back at you and eventually kill you if you don't kill them.
The multiplayer easily is the best thing about this game. There are over 10 maps to choose from each with a different scenery from the next and there are a few revamped old school maps. The thing that makes the multiplayer s great is co-op when fighting with a friend against two other friends it feels so real and alive that you burst out with excitement. You can customize just about everything in the level from the weapons it will have on it to the vehicles it will have on it.
More over the game never has that many dull moments although in campaign backtracking can feel wierd and you get lost easily. The game is not a rent it's a buy the game is the best game on the xbox to date and when its sequel comes out for xbox 360 you can bet it will be a hit too.
