The sequel that still holds up
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. :)
