Ok.. i thought Halo 2 had a fantastic single player, lil on the short side but really good... gaphics were gourgous apart from the pop ups in the cut scenes, which overall were pretty ugly.... i also think that Halo 2 has sum great new features like hi jacking and dual wielding, the minior tweaks about the healthj and the jumping and no damage when you fall tweaks were quite tedious but overall improved the game. The audio is top notch stuff also, intwined with some excellent VoiceActing Through out.

XBL (Xbox Live) is where its all at of coruse, and the action its self will keep you coming back, it also has some roleplaying elements implemented liek most XBL (Xbox Live) titles but Halo 2 implemeants it very, very well. Instead of going in a game where everyone is better then you and a much higher level then you, Halo 2's matchmaking implementation pits you against players of your skill so most of the time you will always have a fair fight on your hands.

Overall mark: 96%

Pros: Revolutionary Multiplayer
Fantastic Graphics
Some amazing new features
Same amazing action
Fantastic Voiceover

Cons: Few pop ups in the graphics
Fairly Short Singleplayer
Ugly Cutscenes
