Halo 2 is an awesome game no doubt about that, but it has some issues that should be dealt with. As everyone agrees, the graphics are gorgeous with great detail and precision, and music is one of the best to be heard since Halo:Combat Evolved. The music is fantastic, but the only issues that might be uncomfortable are only minor. The view of the weapons in this game are super close up, as if someone is pressing their face to their weapons, and the gameplay is rather short. The story focuses mostly on the Covenant political debate which may seem rather different, but anybody whose read the novel Halo:First Strike well have a better idea of whats going on. The gameplay is awesome, with the graphics engine enhancing the gameplay quite a bit. The game rarely slows down, and the character sprites are really amazing. Once you see a Wrait blow up, you'll be thirsting for more. The close up view of the weapons is quite startling but once played, it'll be come second nature to you. The only other minor problem with the game is the loading time during multiplayer and the setup. The loading time with two players is understandable, but there are better approaches then listing the percentage loaded. The game is quite good, and the character A.I is awesome! If you have someone with Xbox Live, as if you don't, then start playing it and start storing that Mountain Dew. If you want a game of significant value and great graphics, music and more get Halo 2. It's that good. You'll want to see this epic movie game, and just wait untill Halo 3![hint hint]
