Halo 2 PC Reviewed - 7.0

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/halo2/review.html?sid=6171591

Not very surprising. I thought the achievements might add to the score, but still, its out-dated and the PC has more competition in this area.

I am perplexed as to why the reviewer mentioned its cliffhanger ending as a negative...the game is almost 3 years old and storyline should not impact the score as most people have played it (its a port, not a new IP).

And if anyone calls flop on this, it wasn't hyped, nor was Resident Evil 4 for PC.

Sorry if this is old news, too.

EDIT: damn this is old news, I searched the first 2 pages and didn't see anything but then I went back further and saw the threads :( . Well, let this thread die now.

The game is a lot of fun online. I would give it a 8 or higher and I doubt i will ever play the campaign. I got it just for the multiplayer and to check out Live for Vista. It's basically the same game but i was more impressed with Live for Vista. Just hope more games use it.

Well that games is so outdated, I don't see why they bothered remaking it in the first place.

Just goes to show you that once any Xbox/Xbox 360 game is compared to a PC game it is automatically 2 or more points lower in terms of quality.iunderstand

It's mainly to showcase Live for Vista and the game is still a lot of fun. DO you know what the most popular multiplayer shooter on the PC is? Well it's a game released back in November, 2000 called Counter Strike and the graphics look like poop.

The person who reviewed it did not do a good job at all. I read he is more into the Xbox.

Thats not true.  It's all about how well the game ages.  Halo on the PC got a 9.0 because the game was still amazing two years later.  The same can't be said about halo 2.  I think everyone can agree the game was a bit overrated to begin with.

I would see what other sites rate it. I cannot agree with the Gamespot review.
