Halo 2

This has to be the best game that ever game out for the original xbox. With the diverse multiplayer maps and the story lines cut off that keeps you guessing. But there is a down fall to the multiplayer is the fact you can glitch or what most people call super jumps. Which can give a person a huge advatige over everyone else. But overall this is one of the greatest games ever made.

Halo 2

Best f#@%ing game ever! It's as good as the first one and it was the best when it came out. I think it was really fun when it came out since no other really really good games besides GTA was out at the time of its release. The guns, the sound and the controls were the best. Well, maybe the controls kinda sucked. Tne sound was kickass and the graphics were good at the time but are average compared to Halo 3. SPOILARZ: THIS IS HALO 2! YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT, GET OUT! PWN3D... =D

Incredible, but with some quirks. Read on...

This game really is incredible. For its time, the graphics were stellar, and they're improved by the fact that I'm playing Halo 2 on my Xbox 360. The TV that it's being played on is a 42-inch Plasma Screen TV. So, yeah, it's pretty good-looking. It introduces new weapons to the game. The battle rifle was a welcome addition, along with the SMG, the Carbine, and the Beam Rifle. Dual-wielding was a new innovation, giving you extra firepower BUT at the cost of grenades and meleeing. Unfortunately, though, they took out the Assault Rifle. That's my only real big gripe with this game. That, and the hit detection's way off. In hectic multiplayer matches the view can be confusing and disorienting, and sometimes when you hit, thinking that you just assassinated or beatdown some n00b, you miss, he turns around and blasts you, and you die. So, it's really good. This should definitely be in your Xbox/360 library. But be wary--it's definitely not as good as Halo 3, so don't be angry if you find Halo 2's taste not within your palate.

halo II

Halo 2 is a good all around game. Campaign is ok but it gets better ,this is mostly good for practicing. Multiplayer and xbox live are awesome.Depending on your skill level has a great deal to do with if you like xbox live or not. So dont forget to play campaign, because it plays a vital role in yor sucess in multiplayer and xbox live. LONG LIVE THE HALO SERIES!!

Legendary halo 2

Amazing is the only word that comes to mind when you say Halo.In this case you need a little more then amazing.Possibly the most advanced graphics ever.The online multiplayer is the best i have ever seen by far.Halo 2 is one of the most advanced games in the world.The campaigne was really well done only one problem was it wasn't long enough but you can change the difficulty so it evens out.Overall Halo 2 is a legend in online and just a really great game.

Only 5 hours of singleplayer!!

Bad! espite a rather short campaign and a disappointing storyline, Halo 2 is not the game i liked from halo 1! Big setback bungie:-( but nowhere near as good that most people say it is. It maybe beet Killzone, but the pc games are still the best!
