Description
Halo 2 returns you to the role of the Master Chief - still humanity's excellent weapon against the Covenant. Their defeat at Halo was only temporary, and they are pursuing their goal - the complete obliteration of humankind - together with renewed zeal. Human military forces are exhausted and unable to stave off the Covenant's rapid advance toward Earth.
Halo 2 is one of those rare video games this garnishes attention from regular folk who wouldn't recognize which direction to point a strategy controller. Together with extra than 1.5 million pre-orders and a massive open party in Times Square, the strategy enjoys the sort of buzz, and sales, generally reserved for boy wizards. But does it merit the hype?

Opening Scene

Halo 2 opens together with a cut scene in the Covenant Holy City of High Charity. Much has happened since Master Chief (this's you) created so much havoc for the Covenant in the first Halo, and the Arbiter has much atoning to do for his failures. This first cut scene is long, but the lush graphics, orchestral sound, and polished voice talent for together this and other cut scenes as well as the strategy itself put much animated television shows to shame.


Much has happened since Master Chief created so much havoc for the Covenant in the first Halo, and the Arbiter has much atoning to do.

In the end, though, Halo 2 is unabashedly a first-person shooter. It has a Mature rating and is not meant for children. Gameplay is constant and intense. No sooner is one bunch of aliens taken care of than another descends. The controls are identical to the first strategy so those familiar together with it will be up and blasting in no time. And the sound and graphics have been beefed up so this Halo 2 is undoubtedly one of the much stunning console games available.

Opening Fire

Much of the weapons from the first strategy return, although strangely the MA5B Assault Rifle (the default weapon in the first strategy) is not available. There is a single melee weapon known as the Covenant Sword, but the controls for it are the same as this for all the shooter weapons, making it difficult to direct. In addition, for a new twist, you can hold two of the smaller guns at the same time and shoot double-fisted.

As for vehicles, the old favorites are back and joined by a few new, mostly Covenant wheeled monsters. Some innovations have been made to the AI so this the nonplayer characters can drive not including running into too many obstacles while you man the turret. This improved AI in addition has enemies ducking for cover, and the banter from together the Marines and the bad guys has undergone massive innovations so this it no longer sounds quite so repetitive.

On Your Own

The much significant modify in the single-player strategy is together with Master Chief's much-touted defensive suit. At the beginning of the strategy, he is told this the suit has been upgraded, but it's really undergone a severe downgrade. In Halo 2, the player has only one lifeline. Unlike in the first strategy, there is basically no defensive shield on the suit, making gameplay tougher. It can often get multiple--sometimes a maddening number--strives to do it throughout thorny parts of the strategy.


Or together with a Friend

Finally, no review of a Halo strategy is complete not including mentioning multiplayer. One of the main reasons to buy Halo 2 is the capability to have fun throughout Xbox Exist, a aspect not integrated in the first strategy, which was among the original releases for the Xbox. Multiplayer for Halo 2 uses all of the same weapons and vehicles as in the single-player strategy, and the types of games available in Halo (King of the Hill, Slayer, Capture the Flag) return together with a host of new maps. Multiplayer Halo 2 proposes customizable profiles, control layout, and screens as well as a voice proximity aspect, where you can speak together with other players via an Xbox Communicator so this those closer to you sound louder than those farther away. Players can in addition make together permanent clans and temporary parties in the Xbox Exist world. Undoubtedly, this multiplayer aspect alone ensures this Halo 2 will remain a top-selling strategy for years to come. --David Morel

Pros:

  • Lush graphics and orchestral sound
  • Constant, thumping shoot-'em-up action
  • Multiplayer available throughout Xbox exist

Cons:

  • Suit downgrade makes single-player often overly difficult
  • Get ready for some bleary-eyed mornings

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Awsome GAME!!!!! but some minor setbacks...   2010-02-21
By Jhon Haigen
Halo 2 is the sequal to the all known and loved Halo combat evolved.

This sequal has new weapons, new abiliteis, and some new enemies to kill.You play as master chief to try to defend the human race angainst the covanent armies including the flood.
When i first played this game i enjoyed the grafics for an older xbox game the ability to dual wield 2 weapons and the controsls were great for a classic fps game.
something that i did not enjoy was that you play as the arbiter in a lot of levels and fells like your playing as the covenant killing more covanent. The story was great and also had a cool ending. i would definatly recomend buying this game
8/10

The second part of the Halo Trilogy is a must have for any Halo fan. The continuation from Halo: Combat Evolved is a very good story and will challenge any skilled player. Multiplayer on XBOX Live is still active so you can even take your skills against other players online.

My son asked for this game for Christmas, and I was so happy to order it at the last minute and still receive it before Christmas! Again, thanks Amazon for your prompt shipment of this item! My son has really enjoyed playing this game, and now he has the entire set of HALO games!
