I don't think many people have heard about this game, so I am reviewing it in hopes that I can spread the word. The story of this game continues off where the first left off. Just like the first game, the story is fantastic here too. The graphical detail has been improved a great amount. While the graphics are not the best on the console (I think that honour belongs to Ninja Gaiden), it definately does hold its own. The sound is once again terrific, as are the voiceovers. The music adds to the intensity of the game and really get you immersed in the action. Dual-weilding weapons kicks major butt. The online portion of the game is terrific. There are so many game modes to play, and the inclusion of vehicles online leads to an entertaining experience. One thing that gets annoying about the online play is that some games end up being a race for the energy sword, sniper rifle, or rocket launcher. This gets frustrating because an smg is typically no match for these weapons. The one gripe I have with this game is that you play with an Elite. This is like Metal Gear Solid 2 where people got made that you got to play with Raiden. Everyone bought Halo 2 play with the chief, not play as , and finish the game with the Elite. Otherwise, this is a awesome game. Go buy it now. Now!!!!!
