Halo 2, the epic first person shooter
Halo 2 starts off in a space ship, near Earth, and getting ready for a battle. At the start your just running around getting used to controlls and everything until the Covenant enemies arrive. From there on its just basic good FPS action, with some vehicle driving and good cut scenes.
The graphics in the game are quite good, the charector models look great, but there is texture pop in and they dont look so good in cutscenes. The vehicles are nicely detailed, and are modeled good, and are also destructive. The water looks very good, but not as good as games like Far Cry. There is reflections, the explosions look nice when in the water. When you shoot the water, theres a satysfying splash. The enviroments i think, look the best in the game. From in space to amongst the fray on Earth riding a Scarab - all the way to the new Halo, all full of forests and ancient ruins.
The sound, is the absalute best out of the game. From the explosion of the rocket to the bounce of a rock, all sound fantastic. The voice acting is ok, Sgt. Johnson being the best of all. Even Marines have different voices (there's Australians, Mexican, and you standard American anxient). The gun affects are all good, giving a satysfying blow when you fire your Battle Rifle, and a good punch when you melee your opponent.
But the best thing, out of all this game is Multiplayer. I spent 6 months playing this one game online, i just found it so addicting. Theres practicly no lag, (i did have some, since i live in Australia) and it is great fun.
So i reccomend this, to all who love online FPS.
