User Rating: 10 | Halo 2 XBOX
When I finally got my hands on Halo2. I was too excited for words. I have waited years for this. I played through the campaign. On the normal difficulty everything felt just right. Not too hard, not too easy. During the cutscenes various textures would be loading as we are watching them. This was just a small problem for me. The real problem was the weak ending. I will not give anything away, but it was disappointing. After the campign I jumped onto Xbox Live. This is THE best Xbox Live game, ever. Matchmaking is great, although sometimes slow. Also, invite friends into a party and go from game to game with them. I don't even see how it is possible to cheat in this game. Which is one reason I love it so much. I've played Counter-Strike for a year, cheating is very common. Give it up to Bungie for a another solid game. But with an extra week or two I think they could have solved the very minor problems within the campaign.
