Graphics: 10/10 Sounds: 10/10 Lifespan: 9/10 Playability: 10/10 Gameplay: 10/10 After playing through Half-Life 2, I got pretty dissapointed when I first saw Halo 2! It didn't look as good as HL2 I thought, but after playing a while I found out that there are just two very different graphic engines they are using. Halo 2 looks very good, but it looks very much different than HL2. There are some very nice lightning effects here, and the overall look is very solid. I figured that Half-Life 2 is pretty long ahead compared to the competition. The sounds are just as perfect as they where in Halo. The music is cool and very thrilling, and the sound effects are very crisp and solid. The voice overs are also very good. Halo 2 features a lot! There's a very cool single-player, xbox live! and split-screen multiplayer and co-op. The single-player is pure rock'n roll, and it features a lot more action than the one in Halo did. There is a war and you get to control both sides of it! Cause you don't just control Master Chief anymore, but now you get to take control of one of the aliens as well! This works very well, and the single-player is a reason to buy this game alone. The multiplayer is said to be extraordinary and I can't wait to try it out. Halo 2 is one of the best games ever, and is without doupt a must buy. + Good graphics. The sounds are as perfect as ever. Thrilling story. You get to control both sides. Good cut-scnes. Nice voice overs. Good multiplayer. Features Co-op action. You can now shoot with two weapons at the same time. The vehicles has been improved, and there are more of them. - The single-player is too short.

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
