Halo 2 for Xbox

Pros: engaging campaign mode, many online game modes, good AI

Cons: online setup, maps too symetrical, not PC FPS quality, introduces nothing new to the genre

The Bottom Line: This is the best console first person shooter I have played, but it still pales in comparision to PC FPSes like Halflife.

Review: Console first person shooters (or FPSes) have always paled in comparison to their PC counterparts. This is mostly because the PC was always on the cutting edge of graphical speed and beauty. In addition, the console never adopted the mouse as the...

Pros: new weapons, new enemies, graphics and audio, Xbox Live multi-player action, Halo 3 is coming

Cons: short campaign, cliffhanger ending

The Bottom Line: If you have Xbox Live, then buy Halo 2 without reading this review. Otherwise, read it and decide for yourself.

Review: After all of the rumors, pushed back release dates, screenshots, movies, articles, previews and lofty expectations; it is finally here. It s been three long years since the release of

Pros: Nice graphics, good sound, tight controls, cool new twists, fun multiplayer.

Cons: Waiting forever to start a game online, server hiccups, anemic sound effects, ending.

The Bottom Line: No Halo 2 doesn't live up to the hype, but with this buildup, even the Second Coming would have been anti-climactic.

Review: Halo 2 is a lot like Halo 1, only it's Halo 1 on fire, going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone, being chased by helicopters and ninjas ... And, the ninjas are all on fire, too.

That quote from Bungie Studios head Jason...

Pros: online, engaging story, new weapons, dual wield

Cons: heck of a cliff hanger in single player, needs more multiplayer maps!

The Bottom Line: If you own an Xbox, you really need to own Halo 2.

Review: I didn't get an Xbox when it first came out, as I had no interest in it whatsoever. It was new, I didn't really like Microsoft in the first place, and I was much more interested in Nintendo's Gamecube. The Xbox had one killer app that the Gamecube...

Pros: Great gameplay, great story.

Cons: The whole "defend Earth" thing is a bit misleading.

The Bottom Line: A must play for Xbox owners.

Review: Three years ago, Microsoft entered the world of console gaming with a gargantuan machine known simply as the Xbox expectations were not particularly high amongst the gaming mainstream. While MS fought the uphill battle against industry leader Sony...

Pros: Better Graphics, More In Depth Story-line, Interactive Environments

Cons: New Weapons, Sound Effects, Plot Holes

The Bottom Line: Halo 2, despite it's hyped release, does not add up to Halo in any way, shape or form. An overall let down as a sequel.

Review: Well it's finally here, one of the most anticipated game releases of all time, Halo 2. If you need a refresher course for the first Halo, check out my review on it Here. Just a...

Pros: solid fps action

Cons: boring story, online needs some work

The Bottom Line: Halo 2's great visuals, online capabilities, and solid gameplay make it a must buy for Xbox owners.

Review: Halo 2 begins where the first left off. Master Chief (the character you control) and the military must protect Earth from an invasion by the Covenant. The Covenant is a bunch of plasma gun carrying aliens trying to get revenge on humans for...

Pros: Bump-mapping looks great, more Halo, just like Halo only more content

Cons: Some graphical glitches, standard A.I.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this game, because it's Halo with more power and the best online experience for Xbox

Review: The simple answer to the question "Should I buy this or not?" is: if you loved Halo, BUY IT! If you hated Halo, DON'T BUY IT, or possibly rent it! If you have never played Halo, try it or try this game; Halo 2.

But, there is more to it...

Pros: more of the same

Cons: more of the same

The Bottom Line: a great shoot-em-up easy to get into and great live capability

Review: Those of you who have read my various art attacks, that is reviews, will probably not have me pegged as a console gamer, and in general Im not. However I first experienced the original Halo a few years ago and found it to be one of the most fun ways...

Pros: Fighting, graphics, sounds, & voices

Cons: To dark at times, not enough improvements, & weaponry

The Bottom Line: Halo 2 is great, but Halo is just as good.

Review: I bought Halo 2 about a month ago for my oldest son. I have been hesitant to buy "M" rated games for him because of the violence. After reading "epinions" on the game, I felt a little better about buying it knowing that you are hunting down an alien...
