Halo 2. What can you say. You either hate it or love it. Just like
Halo:Combat Evolved. Many say this sequel was a complete let down and
was overhyped. But the majority of xbox owners love this game and
waste-spent a great deal of hours on this game.
Gameplay: What can you say. Bungie mastered it. The gameplay is
perfect. I can't think of one thing wrong with it. It is what you
expect from a FPS. It has a number of different guns, grenades, sticky
grenades and of course the energy blade. Which is basically a sword,
but in the future. One thing you can do in which you couldn't in the
first game, is duel wield. This means you can use two weapons at the
same time.
Aside from the weapons there is also an array of vehicles. There is a
bout 4 or 5 vehicles in which you could take control of. Some of them
can hold more than one person. Also, you can not only play as the
bada** Master Chiif (I don't know why you wouldn't want to) but you can
play as the Arbiter. This is an elite in which you take control of in
the single player mission. You take control of his body, use the alien
weapons, and also, take control of his camoflage armour :) oh yeah, is
kool.
Graphics: Stunning. The character models, the environments. I can
honestly say this game looks better than a number of xbox360 games.
Some slopiness here and there, but in the end, quite satisfying.
Sound: Voice acting, gun sounds, orchestrated music, all top-notch in
this game. You must hear it for yourself to really appreciate it.
Value: Totally worth the money. I have my own personal reasons for not
giving this section a 10/10. But dont let that phase you. It is
definitely worth the money, especially since its only like $30 these
days.
Tilt: Great game. I enjoyed it. Had some flaws because, of course, this
game is not perfect. The flaws. The story. The story is immersive, I
enjoyed the ending, but the single player was quite short. It is
dissapointing, but what can you do. It does, however vary the gameplay
up(playing as Arbiter, what not) but still too short for my liking.
Al in all, great game. Must have for any xbox owner or xbox360 owner. Even today. :)
