Now, if this isn't the epitome of sequel's, then i really and sincerely DO NOT know what is. There are a few games that can come out with a really good FPS game, and then literally 3 or 4 more years later, you come out with an excellent sequel that tops the original in every department. You're still following Master Cheif of course, of course that wouldn't change, if it did, then i guess there would be no Halo. But this time it's different, you also get to play as a Covenant, which is a really nice addition to the game franchise in my opinion. Gameplay in this game is far superior in my opinion now that you have the ability to Dual Weild, which should be in every high maintenance FPS these days. Also, now your comrades can finally drive the Jeep this time around, which makes it cool, for a while at least. They start to become a little stupider when it comes to dodging enemy fire in the vehicle when they are driving it. Different weapons on the jeep's call for different reactions, a rocket launcher on one jeep, and then maybe a machine gun on another one. Graphics are simply amazing as usual, the xbox puts its hardware to the max with Halo 2. Although in some of the cutscenes, the limits of the Xbox are eventually noticeable. Audio in this game remains top notch of course, with Master Cheif and his witty humor, and then you have the Covenant that you play as, who has a mixed view on certain things, but it's all good. Value is awesome in this game. Reviewer's Tilt, there really isn't any replay value, unless you want to beat the game on Legendary.

Halo 2 is a worthy sequel to Halo. While the story does lack in some parts, overall, the game is still excellent, one of the best games ever. To get the bad points out of the way, i didn't like the single player campaig... Read Full Review
