Released in 2004, Halo 2 launched for the Xbox and was an amazing success. It continued the amazing story of Halo: Combat Evolved, and got a score of 9.8/10 from IGN and 9.4/10 from Gamespot. That's really good. It also featured intense, and highly addictive multiplayer either splitscreen and Xbox Live. It also had a map pack which was a great success as well. Four years later, It finally comes to the PC. You still have the great campaign which you will want to play over and over again along with the multiplayer over Windows Live. It includes every single map created for the Xbox version (including map pack) and two new exclusive ones. There are tons of achievements and stuff. It includes a map editor where you can edit and create maps which is really fun. The improved graphics aren't impressive at all but they hold up quite good. The wall textures are actually better than CoD4: Modern Warfare, lighting is ok, and characters are nothing special. REMEMBER! GRAPHICS DON'T MAKE A GAME! Sorry, I just had to say that. Sound is great and cinematic though and the music is outstanding. This game is a timeless classic and it is extremely fun.
