This is a good game I love the plot and nice graphics but in total not really one of those great games as you would expect since this is titled HALO 2 what was a smashing hit on the X-box.

Graphics:

The graphics in this game are pretty but I'm afraid that about it. Not as "AMAZING" as you would expect from a VISTA only game. The effects are nice and you can see some good lighting. The textures are pretty detailed but for some reason it looks very rugged the buildings very square like lacking in detail.

The weapons are cute and the Monsters are pretty well made good detail cool look about the most amazing thing in the game actually are all the characters.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is actually fun. The new dual gun action is is relatively simple to use and made in a manner that its also fun and adds to the diversity of action.
some new guns give you a wide range of ways to fight you way through your enemies. So if you like gunning like crazy or sniping a lot this is a game that gives you it all.

AI:

Nothing impressive here the aliens are mostly mindless charging and in some cases you might see them going for cover or grouping but nothing too advanced.

Sound:

The gun sounds are original and not too annoying to the years leaving them enjoyable even for long sessions of gameplay. The dialogs are acted very well which only adds.

All in all this is not a bad game it just isn't great either and the fact that it is a VISTA only game (retail) does not help one bit.
