I never played, the original Halo so I don't know what all the hype about Halo 2 was for. I've never really been a fan of console first person shooters, and I can say after playing Halo 2 little has changed. Granted it is a good game, but relatively short. Standard first person shooter action, with the ability to dual wield certain weapon classes, and drive around in vehicles. I found it to be most enjoyable playing Co-op with my roommate. Graphics were all right. I don't see what revolutionary about them coming from my experience with PC games. Granted I did find the cuts scenes in game to be of the highest quality. Multiplayer was something I did not get to experience out side of 2 player co-op. So my decision is perhaps biased but from what I've experienced I think it's fair. (8/10)
