Title: Not Quite Up to the Hype
Review: Just like everyone else, I've been drooling for the past 18 months thinking about how fantastic Halo 2 was going to be. Surely the company that brought us Halo (the best FPS and best multi-player game ever) couldn't do any less than to make Halo 2 BLOW AWAY the original. Well, it's a great game. But the only thing that truly BLOWS AWAY the original is all the features added to online multiplayer gaming -- teams, stats, customization, etc. Sitting in a room with 8 guys blasting each other was always fun on Halo. It's about the same level of enjoyment with Halo 2 but with new maps and weapons. Don't get me wrong: I'm having great fun with Halo 2! But it isn't the massive leap forward that we were hoping for.
