Editorial Reviews: Halo 2 returns you to the role of the Master Chief - still humanity's best weapon against the Covenant. Their defeat at Halo was only temporary, and they are pursuing their goal - the complete obliteration of humankind - with renewed zeal. Human military forces are exhausted and unable to stave off the Covenant's rapid advance toward Earth.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A masterpiece starring Master Chief Comment: Halo has cemented itself in the forefront of one of the best first person shooter series of all time. Great graphics and arguably the best analog controls in any first person shooter. Honestly I liked Halo 2 better than the original Halo and I am not sure why but I just enjoyed it more. This is a game you can pick up and play keep playing. The multiplayer in Halo 2 has added to the formula either offline or online. Granted I do not have Xbox Live a friend of mine does and thats how I got to experience the online part. I really like how people complain about the length of modern video games. Do you people not remember old atari and nes games ? Some of them could be easily beaten in a half hour ! Granted with modern technology people expect more and I clearly better than anyone understand that. Lets put it this way if you have a shorter game your more apt to replay it again. If you have a 50 hour game are you really going to go back to it ? I dunno maybe its just my preference but I enjoy a shorter game thats between 5 to 12 hours. Graphics - By Xbox standards this is a masterpiece and really raised the bar for what first person shooters can look like on a home console for its generation. Gameplay - Its pretty simple if you enjoyed Halo Combat Evolved you are going to enjoy this one with great controls that set the bar for what a console game can do. Replayability - Is all how much you love this game and I know most will like it and others will think its just hype. If you have XBOX Live chances are you are going to love it. Pros - Great graphics, exceptional use of analog thumbsticks, pretty interesting story for a game, multiplayer is fun with friends and is also fun online and the newest addition in this game THE SWORD ! Cons - That I did not buy this game sooner Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome Comment: Ordered this game for my 14 year old son. It arrived within 3 days of the order. It was in great condition and we would order from this seller again without hesitation. Customer Rating: Summary: Super fast shipping! Comment: Item arrived within a couple days of ordering. Item was in condition promised. Great seller. Thanks! Customer Rating: Summary: Fine if you care more about multiplayer games Comment: Halo 2 is a game that really starts well, but piddles out in the final acts of its single-player campaign. The story of this game falls into clichés and doesn't really try to surprise the gamer; most of the game is just predictable and offers far less replay value than its predecessor. The game just goes on, and on, and on without getting much done for its story, and aside from two levels taking place on Earth there aren't many levels that offer much in the ways of entertainment and replay value. Also, the feeling of the game feels very cheap, and light compared to its predecessor, which offered some legitimately intense gaming moments (such as the introduction of the Flood). This game offers little worth remembering, aside from cool things you do on Xbox Live. The game's single-player is just weak compared to the original game. If this was the game we got in 2001 Xbox would have certainly been sunk. The character designs are a downgrade, I'm afraid to say. The Marines units have been reduced to what I'd expect soldiers to be wearing in CNN newsreel footage and they do not look like they are from the future in any way. This is just one of my many complaints about the feel of this game. The first game you felt like you actually were serving a purpose and providing help (key word being "help") for the human forces. Everything about this game can be summed up by "Run in. Shoot stuff. Cut scene. Repeat." There never is really anything to challenge the gamer, other than whether or not he/she can shoot something enough that it dies, and then they have a cliché plot revolving around this concept (Serious, most of the missions you're goal is "You must kill this dude/thing"). Halo 2 does offer some positive things. The graphics are top notch, really improving upon the engines used in the previous game. Visually a lot of work obviously went into making this game look good, and visually Halo 2 has little in the way of flaws. It is probably one of the best games to look at in the original Xbox's inventory. The main aspect of Halo 2 that makes it worth playing is the online multiplayer, and I do believe Bungie put more effort into this aspect of the game than the actual game's campaign. However, if you're like me and seldom have access to Xbox Live you're gonna care more for the single-player campaign. It's a fun game especially for people who enjoy co-op and online multiplayer matches, but for someone looking for a thrilling 1st person experience such as that provided in the original game you'd best steer away from this game or lower your expectations. That being said this game is 50x better than the rip-off that was Halo 3. Customer Rating: Summary: Wrong Cover Comment: Next time please show the correct cover of the video game and not a fake one to lure buyers. I received the platinum edition and it states that this is the standard which is not. If I knew this was the one I was getting I would of never bought it.
