Description

Halo 2, a sci-fi action/first-person shooter game, is a full sequel to the best-selling original and will continue the story of the Master Chief, a genetically enhanced supersoldier who is the only man that has successfully defied the Covenant, a coalition of alien races on a murderous march toward Earth.

Halo 2 surpasses its predecessor both in graphical beauty and combat intensity. The Master Chief and his marine allies return to battle the full complement of Covenant forces, as well as new enemies who have not yet revealed themselves. Halo 2 also expands the Master Chief's already substantial arsenal with powerful new weapons, many pried from the twitching claws of defeated enemies, as well as more than twice as many drivable vehicles for exploring vast landscapes or speeding into battle.

In addition to its epic single-player campaign, Halo 2 will be playable online through Xbox Live.

"Must have for xbox owners"
Anyone who liked the single player game from the first Halo will love the second halo's story just as much. Sure they should have spent a couple more levels on earth, but the other levels are still engaging, as are the levels you play as a covenant elite. 8/10 for single player.

Multiplayer is where this game really shines. Whether playing co-op, system link, or xbox live. Halo 2 is without a doubt the best Xbox Live game to date, it could also be considered to be the best Xbox multiplayer game as well. The servers are very stable and I have played 16 player team games with a mixture of NZers, aussies and americans with minimal to no lag. Throw in voice chat for team tactics or talking trash to the yank you just fragged and youve got the icing on the cake. 10/10 for multiplayer.

Bottom line, if you own an Xbox, buy this game now.

Review by Cameron on 15th November, 2004
"Overhyped"
Halo 2 was a bit of a dissapointment.

After all the development the game still carried Halo's flaws with only a few features worth mentioning. The game still features repetitive level design and battle sequences, but it's the plot that was the real let down.

In short the story is boring and predictable, and if you have played the first Halo you have heard it all before.

The only new features are upgraded graphics (which have shocking pop-up in the cut scenes), the ability to dual-wield weapons, and also the ability to board enemy vehicles ala GTA.

Maybe worth a rental before you rush out and buy it, it's really "Halo 1.5".
