Halo 2 wheee

Strengths: Improved graphics, well implemented dual weilding, great same gameplay, additional vehicles, true multiplayer, vehicle jacking, co-op mode is still great to play, continuation of a good story.

Weakness: Still suffers from repetitive level syndrome, no more than 2 player co-op or system or online co-op, Campaign mode is kind of short, texture pop-in delay is noticeable, Dissapointing ending

Seeing as how there are so many non-reviews on here I thought i'd write an actual review (from somone who owns all 3 consoles and has no console bias whatsoever) instead of all the useless stuff from fanboys and haters. Well it's been quite awhile since Halo 1 which I played for countless hours (always in co-op) with a friend. Sometimes we'd be attacking covenant forces and sometimes we'd be...

Halo 2

Strengths: the high graphics and quality of game play. The non-respawning on legendary

Weakness: a rubish ending and the lengh of the game is to short

congradulations to the guys at bungie for making another sucessfull game but making it to short made half life 2 the better game by far but still 1 of the best games ever made. Any way at least it lasted two days instead of one, like the other (on normal of course).

Halo 2

Strengths: All around the greatest FPS and maybe game ever. As always, awsome graphics, nonstop action, and the beam sword!

Weakness: Still can't get bots in multiplayer... XBOX live compensates for that small fact. also, it had the worst ending possible.

Please, all of you who are complaining about this game, shut up. The only flaw in this masterpiece is the ending, which is gay, but it just means that you will be forced to purchase Halo 3. This is unfourtunate, but it means that about the time this game dies out of the limelight, Halo 3 will be released, giving us all something more to talk about. It will give us one more way to compete and...

Halo 2

Strengths: fun, has xbox live and of course,... marines

Weakness: the story is short,& the ending sucks

you can disagree with me but i am right halo 2 sucks it can be fun, if you know a good game the you know that halo 2 is ok, when u get out of the pause menu you can see the textures in the game which is retarded. the xbox live is cool though.

Halo 2

Strengths: -New weapons -Excellent Physics -Online Play

Weakness: -Poor Story -Short Game -No Computer AI in multiplayer -Replay Value

Halo 2 is by far the most realistic FPS to date. You can actually feel every bullet. And with a new arsenal that is doubled that of the first, thats a lot of bullets. The gameplay goes into more depth with the Arbiter becoming a playable character giving players the weilding power of a vibrosword. But above all is Master Chief back in action whoopin as$. The games awesome when it comes to...

Halo 2

Strengths: The strengths for Halo 2 is the muilt- player mode. Plus, now it can connect to XBOX Live, it makes its even better. I love how, you can play as an Elite and you see their side of the story.

Weakness: The only weakness that Halo 2 had was that the cut- sences were dropped and not long effort.

Just get this game, you will not feel sorry about it. If you do, I'll pay for the game. Remember in it's 1st 24 hours Halo 2 sold about 1.5 million copies, making about 125 million dollars.

Strengths: graphics are great. covenant are harded to fight on legendary.that are so good that i still cant beat the first level on legendary

Sweet story line

Strengths: Complex story, great graphics

Weakness: objectives not obvious at times

incredible web of parallel perspectives of good and evil. what you believed was the enemy had it's own side to the story and what you though was your friend was something else. great action sequences and imaginative weapons.

Halo 2

The most anticipated. The most talked about. The most pre-ordered. The fastest selling. Halo 2 has become the game that everyone wanted it to be: the most important reason to ignore reality and escape to a world that's 100% better than your own. Everyone waited for Halo 2 because of its multiplayer gameplay. That's the reason why it has a chance at becoming the most played game of this console...

Halo 2

Halo 2 is a bigger, more feature filled, and much more polished game than the original Halo. It might seem similar to the original at first glance, but the already great gameplay has been improved and the level designs are much better. This is everything a sequel should be: Bigger and better in every way. Hype is a dangerous thing, and Halo 2 might not live up to the massive expectations placed...

Halo 2 (xbox)

In the history of videogames, each system invariably lands its super-mega winner, it's system-seller, it's Barry Bonds. On Genesis, you rolled with Sonic the Hedgehog, on Nintendo 64, you got Super Mario 64, on PlayStation you had Final Fantasy VII, and on Dreamcast you loved Soul Calibur. On Xbox, Halo has become the MVP for three years. But there is a new kid in town, and you've known it's name...
