I Never Had An Xbox 360 But I Had This Game On The Xbox, I Played This Game Everyday Until My Xbox Broke, I Loved The Storyline, I Loved The Weapons the Characters And Just About Everything About The Game Was Amazing And There Were a Few Flaws But Overall This Game Nearly Rates At A 10, I Can't Describe How Much I loved Halo 2, It Was Very Fun And Almost Everything Was Evenly Balanced, There Wasn't Much Gore But There Was Lots Of Blood So Not Recommended For A Child. The Ratings Seemed Pretty Accurate But I Loved This Game Bungie Did A Great Job On This Game And I Knew I Could Trust Microsoft To Come Out With Some More Epic Halo Games in The Future!
While the game wasnt bad and fulfilled on graphics, playability and sound effects it didnt deliver on story and level play through. I kinda felt like alot of the levels dragged on for too long. While it can be good to have the game keep going you gotta remeber its an fps. The story this time around isnt as interesting and left gamers with a sense of "oh, after all that it just ended." While some may argue it was leaving a hanging ending which would be fine I thought there were still too many elements unanswered. I mean like that creature the Master Chief and the Arbiter finds. I mean really what was that and it didnt explain more about the story just left you with more questions. Overall while the gaming aspect was fulfilled I felt it fell short on delivering a story. Its kinda like watching the Matrix 2. We get its part of the same world, but some many new things left unanswered and the story was starting to vier off from what we understood from the first one. Its not something that isnt a good buy, but out of the Halo series my least favorite. I'm not even gonna touch on multiplayer as you can just get the newer Halos and play those so this one is out of date.
