Halo 2 is the sequel to one of the greatest games released on the Xbox. It has a lot to live up to and in many ways it does. The storyline is not really as good as the first and you will find yourself in the shoes of the aliens as well as Master Chief. Future Earth just doesn't look enough like real Earth to make me really happy about the game. But the gameplay is as solid as any other 1st person shooter out there. The biggest fun of the game is multiplayer. There are so many modes in the game to keep you busy. You can even make up your own rules for multiplayer and decide what vehicles and weapons will be found within the level. Melee combat is a whole lot better this time around since you can now have a power sword that obliterates enemies. The story mode will last about a dozen hours but the multiplayer will keep you playing online or offline with friends for 100+ hours or until the next Halo comes out. This is an absolute must have Xbox title. 5/5
