Halo 2 - The Best Game For The XBox?
12/13/04
You call yourself a gamer? Why don't you own this game already? Is it the best XBox game yet?
Well, yes and no. In short, it combines the best of Halo with XBox Live compatibility. As of today
, XBox Live activity is up 4 times it was before H2's release. But what about the game? Halo 2 is a definite must-buy for its over the top action and single player campaign.
There are some nice twists to the plot which I don't want to give away but let's just say you'll get some background on more than just your character. Improvements to the game include new
weapons and vehicles although some (like me) may be bummed at some of the play balancing issues. Some weapons are less powerful than in Halo and some vehicles like the Wraith are a pale
shadow of before. But don't worry, with new features like being able to jump on an enemy ship and hijack it will more than make up for it. The first time you jump a Wraith and yank the driver out
, you'll be hooked on the feature which you can use on several enemy ships.
You can jump on ships and hijack them, but your enemies can too!
The Good:
- New weapons
- New enemies
- New vehicles
- XBox Live!
- More of the same
The Bad:
- Short single-player campaign
- Some have complained about the ending
Bottom line: If you liked Halo, you'll like Halo 2. Some have complained that its single player
campaign is too short but it's still worth playing. Get on XBox Live and you'll never stop!
