Gameplay: The gameplay in Halo 2 feels similar to the first. While a few adjustments have been made, such as dual weilding and hijacking cars, It still feels like to much of the same thing. Same ol' kick a** action though. However the story, ending, and length all keep this game from being a lot higher. The Multiplayer for Xbox Live is outstanding. It's the best console FPS to date. Graphics: Not as good as you would think. Cutscenes look very ugly, and pop-ins from Hi-Res to Low-Res occur. Otherwise than that the game looks very nice. Sound: The best part of Halo 2. An outstanding score and gun sounds really make good use of some surround sound action. Value: You might wanna pop back into the story to do co-op or something, but story mode won't last long. Halo 2's multiplayer will keep you coming back till Halo 3, whenever that might be. Tilt: Sorry Halo lovers, Halo 2 isn't perfect like most thought it would be. If only the story was better, the ending wasn't...horrible, and the length of the story would've increased, the Campaign mode would've been more fun. However Halo 2's multiplayer as mentioned is what makes this game so great.
