User Rating: 9.9 | Halo 2 XBOX
Well this game does that. The man being Halo: CE. This goes so much further /It has an improved online mode with much more unique matchmaking. You can even invite friends over for a non ranked fun game. You play the master chief and you and Cortana destroyed the Halo ring to begin with but the Convenant returned and there are a lot of rings now. The convenant attack your station while you two are being awarded a medal. How rude, would we interrupt them while they were being awarded kslatkas? Anyway, the gameplay is great. It is very easy to pick up and play and you have 2 players this time (but in different levels) Master Chief and the Arbiter. They both have their plusses and their minuses. Cheif is stronger and more damage resistant. Arbiter is faster and can go invisible. The graphics are lovely, just check out Cortana. It looks really realistic and they include little things as well. Bullet holes appearing in walls when you hit them, bullets flying out of the gun and great sword animations. The animation in this deserves a big plus as well as Bungie have really thrust their work into this to get a beautyful game. The water in this game has a nice shine, and I had to make sure that I was not watching a movie about water after seeing the water and the fog effects in this game add so much mystery to it. The sound is so so. You cannot really add anything new in a game of talking, bullet shots and grunting. It is an 9 though because of the voice actors who are widely known. I cannot remember there names so ask at the Halo 2 board. Value 1000000/10 (Dang max of 10 at bottom). There are loads of different ways. 4 difficulty settings and then you can make up your own variations. Such as, no using 1 hit kill weapons (Rocket, Sword and Sniper and Plasma and FRC), or no Grenades or Traitor mode. Even a minimum reload setting where you don't reload unless you really need to. And the graphics and story in this game make it worth buying. The story will keep you hooked for a very long time with out end. Overall, 9.9/10 This is a great game and, despite what people say, it lives up to the hype. Though the ending cutscene leaves a lot of unanswered (But a lot of people happily imagine what happens) questions. You really need to get Halo CE first to get the hang of the game but it does not matter if you do not get it, it is still a great game and that is why I gave it this score.
