- Halo 2 Seduced Me
I'm not a gamer. The most game I'll dabble in are games based off of movies or shows that I loved. So I really don't know much about what makes a great game a great game. I've enjoyed Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil 4 when I played, but only moderately. The story of how I got interested in HALO is very different than those. See, my friends love playing games, and when we'd chill and drink, the nights that we didn't go out would end in them playing against each other in HALO 3. Eventually, tired of being the odd man out, I picked up a controller and started playing... and naturally, got killed in each round. So I went home to practice, and since my dad loves games, all I had to do was ask him to borrow HALO 2. I started playing with the intention of ignoring the story and game play and just logging in some basic practice.

Well, turns out, the game rocks. The graphic were great, the story was enthralling and lacked the cheesy dialogue that even games hailed as the best of the best (the aforementioned Resident Evil 4) were rife with, and the gameplay was simply great. Each board is so interesting and throws you into such different, complex worlds that you sort of feel a mixture of triumph and regret every time you beat one level and move onto the next.

I had every intention of using HALO 2 to practice so I could whoop my buddies when we play HALO 3 together, but the game is just so good that I couldn't help but stick it out to the end and beat it. It's challenging but not overly hard and--most importantly--a very fun game.

9/10

- Good Game, But Could Be Better
Halo 2 is a good game, but not perfect. The campaign is fun, a little short, but fun. The levels are great on any difficulty, and I love the Elite missions. They are fun and challenging, a great twist to the game. The only two things I wished that did not happen in the game was the short storyline, and the ending. They leave you hanging, waiting for the third Halo. Campaign is fun, but it is not a fun game unless it has a good multiplayer. The multiplayer maps are great, but there are not enough of them. Bungie could have waited a while to bring out the game to make more multiplayer maps. Overall a good game.

Campaign- 4 stars
Multiplayer- 4 stars
Fun- 5 stars

Also here are some cheats:

To get the blind skull start the map Outskirts. Walk through the first door and crouch jump onto one of the lights. Then look to the leftand you will see a wall. Run at the wall and crouch jump onto that wall. Walk foward about 10 steps and look left. You should see a hallway. Go to the end of that hallway and press x to pick up the skull.

- Not as good as the first, but still an excellent follow-up
After the incredible installment of Halo it seemed like every gamer around simply couldn't wait to play the follow up! Well here it is, finally in my hands! I'm happy to report that overall this is a very solid follow-up to the first installment. There are a couple minor things that I didn't like, but there are a lot of things they added into the game that are just awesome.

After the first game I was kind of wondering how they would follow it up since the Halo facility blew up and the Master Chief with Cortana were the only two sentient beings left alive. Well Halo 2 brings us deeper into the lore of the rings and their Forerunner builders. Apparently there is definitely more than one ring, or else this game wouldn't have made as much sense without a Halo facility. I really don't want to give away any of the story line because it's a really intriguing story so far. To be honest the story is really what held this game together for me, but let's just say that they end up coming upon another Halo ring and there is already a major Covenant armada on site. The best chance for survival is to get onto Halo and fight from there because we all know the Covenant will not destroy the ring. The best part of the story is that the covenant between the species that make up the Covenant doesn't seem to be nearly as strong as we all assumed. In order to take us down that path we get to play as a Covenant elite named the Arbiter. This is one of the better changes they made to this game! It was a lot of fun to play on this side of war and see things from their perspective.

That's all I'll get into for the story. Honestly the game play and mission details are fairly rehashed from the first Halo. This is sort of unfortunate, but somewhat expected because what's Halo without Halo? But running missions through the Library to find the Index again seemed tedious and uncreative, although they managed to spice them up a little by throwing in the new Brute character named Tartarus (and the brutes in general). The thing that really saved these repetitive elements was the backdrop story of the Covenant. Also they threw in new lush atmospheres found on Halo. Halo is a big place and it stands to reason that not every place is going to look the same, so it was nice to see them try and capitalize on newer elements. This gives us some familiar maps and ground as well as giving us whole new terrains to explore. One of my favorite is that at one point we end up on Earth and go through a whole urban warfare sequence. That was probably one of my favorite parts of the game.

Aside from the repeated levels the only other major problem I had with this game was the HUD. If you read my review for the first game you would remember that I mentioned that the view was great because it gave you sort of a mock peripheral vision. In this game it feels like you're looking through a very confined screen, which makes it a little more difficult to play in co-op mode. This is unfortunate because it feels like they removed something that I thought was an improvement to a First Person Shooter game, maybe they felt it was an error? Of course I think this was more than made up for by being able to dual wield weapons and being able to use the Covenant energy swords. Though they got rid of the MA5B standard issue assault rifle from the original game and that made me sort of sad. Oh well, I can now wield two Needlers!

Overall I thought this was a very fun game. I even enjoyed going through the Library again, so while some may find that "uncreative", which it is, I still enjoyed it. The Flood takes a bit of a back seat in this game and show up more as an annoyance until a big revelation at the end. Story wise this game is much bigger and more ambitious. I think if you were into Halo for the unique world and story you will also like Halo 2 just as much. So be prepared for a wild ride to save the universe and see how precarious the Covenant's species allegiance just might be.

Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5

- good purchase
This one of the best deals i have found on a game by far. Halo 2 is a game where the multiplayer is not that interesting but the in depth story line is all there this game should be played for the story line if nothing else.
