Title says it all. Back on August 16th I preordered Halo2. What a big let down this was. The game has many bugs. The AI is stupid as hell and the game, as good as it was, was short and too easy to beat.

I personally feel the game was rushed. With FMV seens not being 3D rendered right away causing objects to appear as blocks, and Visible/Invisible dead characters. (I shot a guy with the snipper and he lay dead, so I moved to look somewhere else a few inches away and the dead guy was gone, so I looked back where he was dead and he reappeared.) The first time I loaded the game and started a Campaign the game wouldn't load, it just sat playing music at the loading screen. So I hit back and tried a few times before I was actually able to play it.

Now don't get me wrong but the game play was awesome, the ability to fire 2 guns at once is amazing. The graphics are amazing as well but when a game is hyped so much to the point of being getting the the title " The God of all Games" you expect a bit more from something. I personally feel the Bungie (Microsoft) let us down. I don't know about the rest of you but I am pretty disgusted.

The ending is pathetic and predictable, but I wont spoil it for those who haven't beaten it yet.

You have to take currency conversion into account.

For example £1 roughly= $.50

I played Halo 2 multiplayer at a friends.

Suprisingly the controls were fairly simple for such a clogged controller. Only the "L" and "R" buttons and a control stick were really needed to play.

I didn't like the weird motion control/veiw control though. You have to use two seperate joysticks , one for walking and one for turning/aiming. It would of been easier to use Metroid Prime based controls.  I ended up using the energy sword or something like that the entire time for simplicity of control.

With the energy sword , no horrindous aiming is neccessairy and its a one hit kill. (Or perhaps it was my Zelda kicking in)

Overall it was an alright game , But it wasn't worth the huge fuss.

You may want to look around a bit. Prices drop all the time, even for just published games. And stores don't sell them all by the same price also...

eg: (all xbox versions)

On Amazon.com
Limited Edition Halo 2: $54.99 US
Normal Edition Halo 2: $44.99 US
Normal Edition Halo 1: $25.99 US

On Amazon.co.uk
Normal Edition Halo 2: $59.40 US

On Nedgame.com
Normal Edition Halo 2: $71.30 US

On Proxis
Limited Edition Halo 2: $81,63 US
Normal Edition Halo 2: $68.66 US
Normal Edition Halo 1: $75.14 US

etc... etc...


BIG TIP: If you're not a hardcore fan or you can not afford the money, look elsewhere in other stores and/or wait a bit, prices will vary much! Ordering something in backorder on the first occasion/site or store you visit, is almost always a bad idea and you will have spend too much money in the end... Stores know this also (that people want something instantly without waiting or looking around) and of course will sell it for a very high price.
