Halo 2 Reviews

SilentChris writes "As of 3 PM EST, major websites were finally 'permitted' to release their reviews of Halo 2. The verdict: near perfect scores. Check out reviews by Gamespot, IGN, and GameSpy. Bungie has done it again!"

I dont know why..

[bluewee]

...these reviews are so late, my copy of the game has been blowing me away for a week or so since I got it. Also my parents have been praising my newly learned language, French... :D

All our hopes are on Halo 2

[The_Mystic_For_Real]

Since we haven't played a good single player FPS game since Halo 1!

Not soo good...

[grazzy]

I've been playing this game for almost two weeks now, and yeah well, I gotta tell you, it has a couple of flaws.

1) Everyone speaks french? What is up with that?
2) It doesn't work with xbox live gameplay...
3) My xbox now says I'm banned from xbox live?!

I give it 5/10 for good efforts, but why french??

Re:I dont know why..

[bluewee]

hmm the only thing that I dont like about this game is that there is this black van out side. wait I hear some other cars driving up... hmm now there seems to be a whole caravan of black SUVs driving up... I will give you an update after I go answer the door...

Halo level design was awful.

Gosh I hated that version, Master Chief kept surrendering so he could go home and watch Jerry Lewis movies.

On Soviet Halo the Game reviews you!!!!!!!

Friendly reminder

Remember to stress these points when making flamebait posts about Halo 2:

1. Same tired gameplay
2. Repetition
3. The console FPS ALWAYS sucks

Thank you.

I don't know, but they keep asking for you in Missouri.

This is Slashdot. Apparently, you're not allowed to like anything related to Microsoft. Or SCO. Or whatever the geek community has decided is evil...

sigh... - Really, how many of you guys have actually played it already?. Please proceed to try it before flaming it...

Well then!

[Anonymous Coward]

I'm glad that a major media outlet has justified those beliefs! If those guys hadn't verified the the same thing another million or so players had been saying months ahead of time, it might not have been true!

It's a damn good thing we have professional critics like these guys, because we all know that none of us are qualified to have opinions and you can't trust what just any-old gamer says, these days.

Recycled mediocrity

[mojotooth]

Let's be honest. Halo 1 was only popular because it was the first exposure most non-computer geeks had to first-person shooters. Anybody who played Doom, Quake, Descent, Quake, Tribes, UT, or any other classic fps were left shouting "WHY are they expecting me to play an FPS with these two stupid sticks?"

Halo 2 is just a slight extension of the same thing. I can't understand why H2 is getting great reviews in the same way that I just can't fathom how Dubya got 58 million votes.

Therefore I blame the religious right wing for Halo 2's reviews.

none!

Bow to the all mighty bit torrent!

Re:Well then!

Congrats, you've exposed the Penny Arcade Secret Formula:
1) Read messageboards to figure out what people are saying about games
2) Put the majority opinion into a comic strip
3) ITS TEH FUNNAY CUZ ITZ SOO TRUE.

Re:And? The real console FPS is coming out later

[Anita Coney]

You know, I feel the same way about Jazz. I don't like it much or listen it much, other than Kenny G, but I have a strong desire to criticize it despite my complete ignorance.

4. ...
5. Profit?

Re:Hope the level design is better this time

[name773]

any economist would tell you they did the right thing.
so, essentially, they did the wrong thing.

Creepy

[Troy]

When I went to Penny Arcade I got an SQL dump in small white text.

Apparently the Pious Flea [ilovebees.com] gets around!

Re:I'm guessing that was a joke.

[mollymoo]

It was the story in Halo that I loved.

Me too. Those red and blue guys standing about making jokes cracked me up. Are they still in Halo 2?
