Another of Xboxes over anticipated games. Bungie took 3 years to complete Halo 2 but thats not what it looks like. The only reason for the long wait would be the Xbox Live capabilities other than that, the single player could of been finished within a year and a half. The game suffers from too many details in cinematics that your Xbox will take a few seconds to load a couple details that should appear right away. The story was dissapointing and quickly ended. Linear levels got frustrating and useless. But the game still gets it's way up by introducing new weapons and better A.I., The new weapons are nice but the Rocket looks like an old model and is not new. The physics are better than Halo 1. The new vehicules are down right bad...and not good except the new Warthog. Although the game as these problems, its still very fun but dissapointing. Less than 15 hours but on Legendary theirs tremendous fun to be had with the incredible A.I.
I have the game and not Xbox Live.. but Multiplayer is still the strong point and will always be.
FINAL THOUGHT:
This game should be played by all new Xboxers and atleast tried a little bit by every Xboxers. I Loved it at first but i dont think i'll ever play the Campaign mode again.. I was dissapointed because their wasn't enough new stuff but most of the Halo fans will ignore that because its an awesome game for its incredible gameplay
