Halo 2 -- The game that had a lot to live up to, and didn't quite make it.

User Rating: 9.6 | Halo 2 XBOX
Halo 2, the name just gives you memories of days gone past of how you plow your way through and destroying wave after wave of Covanent and Flood. This game though, well, is quite Halo. Halo 2 is a great game though, near perfect actually, but there are some problems that I think they could of improved on. The story, is good. I actually really like the story actually but I got to say, the ending sucked. It really stunk. The only reason I don't give the game play score an 8 or lower is because of Xbox Live. Best Live game to date, by far. No other game can come close to what it is. Just simply amazes me that I spent hours in front of my T.V. not playing the campaign, but actually Xbox Live. I alsways want to get better in there I try hard but recently not to hard. Levels as of now are 10s in Team Slayer and Rumble Pit, 13 in Big Team Battle, 8 in Head to Head, 7 in Team Skirmish and 6 in Major and Minor Clan Matches. Not bad but I want to get better. But besides that Graphics and Sound are probably one of the best you'll see on the Xbox by far. But the uncassional loading of things in-game kind of gets on my nerves sometimes. But sound, best music I've heard in a Xbox Game....period. I stongly reccomend getting this game if you have an Xbox, actually if you have an Xbox go get it. You will not be dissapointed at all. Great story, unbelievable Xbox Live play, good Graphics and awesome Sound this game is very, very good.
