Halo 2 is easily the game of the year. But dose it live up to the hype? In many ways it dose but in others it leaves the gamer dissapointed. For example Halo 2 is very short(around 10 hours of gameplay) in its story. The ending leaves you in a "to be continued" type. But the multiplayer is perfect 16 ppl on Live is great, and the 10or so hours in the story mode will be some of the best moments in your gaming live. Its action sound gameplay are totally perfect.
