This post doesn't really belong here, but since people are being so
hard on Kasavin, I feel like I need to respond.
I think Kasavin was expecting more from Halo 2. He was a big fan of
the original, and hype has an effect on critics whether they admit it or
not. The hype machine has positives and negatives, and the length of
Riddick had less impact on the score because less was expected of
another Hollywood attempt at games. Halo 2 was obviously on the
negative end of the hype machine in Kasavin's review.
Kasavin should have expected more from Halo 2 than Riddick, so I
wouldn't hold his contradiction against him.
I'll wait until I play the game to decide if I agree with him or not.
