Perfect games are hard to come by, but I think Halo 2 is almost too un-innovative. It just happens that Halo is the best shooter for the Xbox, and that other shooter games don't even bother to try and compete. Half-Life 2, imo was way better than Halo 2 on the Xbox, but with the lack of hype, it couldn't stand up against it in terms of sales. It is almost like Halo had lowered gameplay standards, so people love it. I'm a harsh critic and know Halo 2 isn't perfect, but it is popular, and that is what really drives it, not it's gameplay, but the hype machine. I believe Halo CE is ten times better than Halo 2, but the fact that it was...Halo 2 is almost the sole reason why people play it.
