Halo 2 Campaign Review

Nick Momrik19 Comments

Last night I beat Halo 2’s single player campaign, so I think it’s time for a review. Note that I’m only reviewing the campaign and none of the online or multiplayer for now. That’ll come after I spend some more time on XBox Live.

I’ve read in countless reviews that the campaign was too short. I read that it took 10-12 hours when played at normal difficulty. I read that normal difficulty is easier than in the original Halo. I read that heroic and legendary are tougher than the original Halo and that legendary might be one of the toughest games out there.

I need a break

Halo 2 Limited EditionOver the next few days (or weeks) I’ll be taking a break from the online poker tables to play one of the most anticipated games ever. I’ve had my copy of Halo 2 on pre-order for 6 months now and have been waiting for the game for almost two years. If you’re interested, read some of the online reviews. I’ll be picking up my copy tomorrow during lunch!

With over 1.5 million copies on pre-order, Halo 2 promises to be AWESOME. Have I mentioned this enough in the past few weeks? Here’s some reading material to get you through the rest of the day.

As previously suggested, easily the worst part about the story is the way it ends, insofar as it doesn’t. You’ll run into this game’s cliff-hanger ending like a compact car into a brick wall, and you’ll certainly be left aching for more.

Yes, the actual gameplay of Halo’s single-player campaign is a blast. But the campaign also winds up being the most disappointing part of the game–probably the only disappointing part.

Listen to one of the songs used in Halo 2.

If you don’t see any updates on the site over the next few days don’t be suprised. Less than one day left…

Major Leage Gaming

Did you know there is a Major Leage Gaming (MLG) circuit? Me either. Yesterday I saw a show on MTV about it. They were playing Halo and the winner, who won $8,000 for the day, said he has made over $80,000 for the year. Playing video games? Damn, where do I sign up for this […]
