A horribly overrated game but solid game that shows its real worth only in large multiplayer games.

User Rating: 7.5 | Halo 2 XBOX
By EikeofGaia | Review Date:
Allow me to start off saying this-- get a group a eight friends together, link up two Xbox's, pop in Halo 2, and you'll have a seriously fun time. And to continue-- sit alone on your couch at midnight, plug in your Xbox, pop in Halo 2, and... you'll be a bit bored. I'll say it straight. Halo 2 has very nice production values, boasting slick graphics and sound, but a pretty horrid single player campaign makes it hard to enjoy without a group of friends. The story is just plain awful, AI is as terrible as usually, and there's nothing really to compell you forward. In the wake of games like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 it's hard to even take Halo 2 as a serious FPS contender.

Verdict: Good, but not great. Horribly overrated.

7.5/10

    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
