Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Oddities of Life!!!
How odd that one of the worst software companies in the world, Microsoft, who can't develop a decent operating system to date (Vista!) could actually be a part of the incredibly brilliant production of Halo2. I actually enjoyed this amazing work of art, an A in every catagory from the getgo. If there was ever a standard that all game developers should strive for, its this game. How about a novel idea, fire the morons at the microsoft operating system development area and let the Halo crew write the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Game, Not So Awesome Price
This game was great for Xbox and I still think it's great for the PC.

Installation - this game may not install well on some machines. If you do have trouble installing it, Microsoft Customer Service are a great help. I, personally, had some trouble and the issue was resolved in around forty minutes (considering my PC is basically trash).

Sound - great music and great quality.

Graphics - here's where this game gets a little crappy. If you don't have a good machine, ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Never Again
I bought Halo 2 for the PC excited about trying it on my brand-new Vista machine. I have had it for over a year now and have yet to be able to actually play the game all the way through.
I went through the agony of having to create a Live account, and then having the game not "see" the account (but not let me log in because I'm "already logged in"). I experienced the unfun joys of having Halo 2 randomly tell me my savegame file is corrupted and I have to start again. I had updates crash the game, ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - This game is a disgrace to halo 1 and 3 !!!
I bought both halo 1 and 2 the day it came out. I have to say, its pretty disappointing. I mean, halo 1 was GREAT! Good story line, multiplayer mode, good controlls and etc. But on the other hand, halo 2 is just a waste of money. The grphic is pretty much the same as halo 1 (microsoft didn't even try to improve the quality of the graphics after 2 long years). Its no comparison to games like Bioshock, Crysis, Call of duty 4, and etc. The only reason that they made this game is to attract Vista buyers. You can't ... Read More
