Halo 2 review

Intro:
Halo 2 is an amazing game. Despite the "Halo: Combat evolved" game which set off the craze for Halo, but had bad graphic capabilities, Halo 2 has amazing graphics for an Xbox. Halo 2 has a lot of glitches. But most aren't noticable unless you dedicate your life to trying to find these elusive little annoyances.

Pros:
Halo 2 has a great storyline and the mutiplayer will keep you hooked forever. The weapons are diverse and take along time to master certain ones. The graphics are awesome as I said before. The storymode is surprisingly replayable compaired to other Xbox FPS. You'll have lots of fun blasting aliens with different weapons, and playing the level over again but trying to destroy a Covenant patrol a different way than last time. The difficulty level is a fun addition to the game, you can pick from fighting super easy Covenant to fighting crazy strong Covenant. Also customizing your mutiplayer character might seen boring but Halo 2 gives you lots of options for armor colors, and clan symbols. The game's AI are incredibly smart and will backup a Warthog if it hits a wall, not just keep driving into it. Xbox Live adds so much replayability that this game will never grow old and be set aside... ever... ever!

Cons:
After playing the storymode over and over again half a million times it starts to wear out, and you start getting bored of finding the same Elite or grunt around the same corner. The game will start to develop more glitches as the disc gets more scratched up, like when selecting random spawning weapons for mutiplayer, all you get is sniper rifles spawing. Without Xbox Live, after putting in half a thousand to a thousand hours of game play the game will get boring and non colorful. Playing as the Arbiter ( a Covenant elite) might be discouraging and boring when you have to play as him a few times in the game.

Overall:
Halo 2 is a great game and is completely worth it if you would buy it for $50-$70, but it only costs $10-$15 on Ebay and lots of the deals on Ebay will give you a non-scratched version. I would recommend it for a person that has never played an FPS in his/her life or a person that is a Master gamer. This game is great for everyone!

Overall score: 9.0-9.5
