Halo 2 - hyped up to be the biggest video game ever. I am slightly disappointed. Gameplay - This to me is by far the best part of the game. There is nothing quite like dual wielding with two sub-machine guns. Although the gameplay is almost identical to the first game, I don't think that's a bad thing. There are some cool additions: being able to jump higher; not losing any health from jumping off ledges; dual wielding; different weapons that just feel much more powerful, especially the SMG and the Battle Rifle. Graphics - This game has alot of glitches with the graphics. Slightly better than the first, but not by much. Also, this game is not as smooth running as the first, probably because of all that Bungie shoved into the game. Slight freezups from time to time, some pop-up problems in the cutscenes. This part is the most disappointing part of the game. I really thought the graphics were going to be the best XBOX has to offer. Sound - Everything about the sound is pretty amazing. I think they could have changed some of the music parts to fit different scenes, but I really don't want to get into elaborating because it's such a small complaint. Value - This is pretty high mostly because of all the XBOX Live options. I have had problems though trying to get into a game on and off today. But, because of all the multi-player options, this makes the value of the game pretty good. Well, that's it. All in all a pretty good game, but not the best game out there.
