Halo 2 - Classics (Xbox)

For the price you get a huge game, with many long detailed levels, a huge array of guns and perfect graphics. Although the story mode is not overly long, its 4 difficulty settings will have you playing for hours.

The real clincher for reply value though, is the multiplayer. I sadly dont own Xbox Live, so I cant really rate it on that aspect, but I bet it is amazing. But even with just 4 of you, there are tons of game modes, and maps. You can even choose what weapons you start with on the map!

My only con is that the games main story could have been a tad longer, but when you get into a multiplayer game that is just erased from your mind.

Do yourself a favor and buy it

Pretty dissapointing considering Halo1 was great. But they've tried to make the exact same game again. This game was made to make money for Bill Gates, as you can tell by the crap ending. It got good reviews because of the loyalty factor to the 1st game but once I got over the excitement of starting to play Halo2 I realised it's not that great. Stupid storyline, same graphics, the guns are pee-shooters, etc.Do yourself a favour and buy Half-Life2. It's the best game on the xbox by far.

this is a very good game i have completed it and all the levels are great it is the best of the 2 halo games out at the moment but i have heard that there is a halo 3 coming out soon. this game is for halo fans if you like games were you get to kill aleins then this is your type of game but you also get to be aleins on this game. this is a great game i spend hours on it so i think if you want to buy a game then this will be the perfect game for you.

I bought halo 2 the day that it was released back in 2004 and completed the solo missions in a couple of days. In reality, the solo missions are only a few percent of halo 2 with the xbox live multiplayer compatability dominating. I have been playing this on live since it was released and still do to this day, even though I have upgraded to an xbox 360.

The simple truth is that no other game can touch it in this arena. The strongest aspect of the multiplayer experience is the online community which is unrivaled for a console game. Bungie.net records each game that you play and you can view interactive maps and review yout kills, medals, hit percentage, deaths, etc etc as often as you like. Weekly info updates, updates to gameplay, new maps and new match making playlists have been added throughout the games life and still are today.

Until a sequel is released, I firmly believe that this is the strongest multiplayer game for the xbox or the xbox 360 and at this price is utterly essential for any serious gamer.

Sorry for the lack of focus on the single player, but truth is that it is only the thin surface to this monster title

Halo 2 is a very worth sequel to halo 1. Campain levels where you
play as the covenant and the humans, multiplayer with brand new areas to fight in, and some refurbished old favourates. Play as an elite or a spartan in xbox live, download downloadable content
which includes new maps for multiplayer. Thrash your mates, join a clan, or just have fun, halo 2 also comes with new, never before seen weapons and the covenant wraith tank.

You've heard of it, you've read the review, now all thats left to do is buy it!
