I would give it a 9 out of 10.
Graphics 10 out of 10
I don't see how the other sites are saying that the graphics look bad, or not as good in multiplayer. I thought that the "energy" sword (for all you nerds out there) looked great. Also, I did not notice any "bad" reload animations or toned down bump mapping. The particle effects are amazing. Plus, YOU CAN FREAKIN BLOW UP CHUNKS OF THE LEVEL! I mean how cool is that? I also like the new effects under the ghost and the dust trail it leaves as it zooms away.
Sound 9 out of 10
Everything sounds awesome! I love the new sounds for when the vehicles explode. Anyways, all the sounds are completely solid. The sounds for the guns all are awesome. I only have one MINOR GRIEVANCE:
The sounds for the plasma pistols. I heard this in the single player E3 demo from last year. They sound a little less frightening and a little more like laser guns from an old sci-fi movie. That hardly matters though
Gameplay 8 out of 10
Halo 2 has an amazing mix of gameplay. It allows you to sprint, hold two weapons, and use a plasma sword. There are all kinds of new additions, like explodable vehicles and such. While all of this is extremely grand, there are two new additions that somewhat hinder the gameplay.
1. The new HUD is missing a health bar. While this is under wraps at this moment some have theories that the more hurt you are, that the box at the right will change colors to show your status, if you understand what I mean. (that theory was made by Nightshade 000 or something) We'll have to wait and see.
2. The new rocket has me worried quite a bit. It homes in quite nicely, and this is cool and great, but to tell the truth, it doesn't appear to require much skill. One hit from that thing sends a warthog flying 100 feet. Uh oh spaghetti oh. It looks to me that this may be the demise to an otherwise awesome game.
Final Score:
8.9 out of 10 (not an average)
OK OK OK I know it is based off of a video yada yada yada I haven't played it yet. I want to hear some critisisms of my review, and what you would give it if you could base it off of the mulitplayer video.
