GTA will be out on xbox next summer more than likely, if you are prepared to wait that is.

Yeah, its pretty good, but I wasnt expecting a "classic", its a nicely polished FPS with a few blews and whistles but nothing more.

Pretty much (so-far). I wished I’d started it on normal -not that I can’t handle it, it’ll just take longer.

Any of those reviewers wanna sort me out

It's good and all, but not mind blowing. Not even the best game of the year. No doubt there will be plenty of people that disagree and go "omgz wtf halo2 is totaly de best man you retard")

You don't have a chipped xbox though do you jesus? It's out on friday anyway so you won't have long to wait.

monument

Since you have it clearly marked as an offline review, I cant see too much wrong. But did you lot ever think of scraping scores, or going to a customised five star system, like…

Village’s film reviews…

***** Now that’s entertainment
**** Excellent
*** Enjoyable
** For a wet Monday only
* I want my money back, please

the Irish Times’ the Ticket’s music reviews…

***** Absolutely unmissable
**** A cut above the rest
*** Worth a listen
** Only if you must
* Avoid at all cost

Oh, well at least yea have a ten point system and not the stupid percentage system. And as you were pointing out I still think some people think reviews aren’t opinion, but some weird science. Hmm, the weird science of opinion.

BTW: Lastly, I think we’re still on topic as the topic was ‘smiaras gloting over his review copy of Halo 2’ (the best game ever!!!!!!!*&*£*£ - OR the fan boys [the ones worse than Retro] will kill you!).

Retr0gamer

OR the fan boys [the ones worse than Retro] will kill you!).

Moi?

It's ok Retro, just saying you're a higher standard of fanboy.

Retr0gamer

I'll accept that as a compliment

The game is brilliant, i have no clue how anyone sees it any other way to be honest.
It is by far the best game of the year in my opinion.
This and star wars kotor are the best games on the xbox.
Graphically its amazing, gameplay is perfect, there are tons of vehicles and weapons and
there is a great story with top notch cut scenes. Dont really see what more bungie
could have put into it to be honest.

im sure the "real" ending will be delivered in some downloadable content. bungie cant be leaving everyone on such _huge_ cliffhangers and then tell us that they are taking a break from halo so another one is not planned any time soon. microsoft are using halo 2 is a vehicle for expanding the live userbase so why wouldnt give(read force) the ultimate incentive upon those not already on live to sign up.

Retr0gamer

No doubt if they do go ahead with the downloadable content they will charge for it and probably charge a considerable amount. There will be enough muppets that will pay for it.

Like me.

Jim

You muppet.

You can download the Halo 2 manual from www.bungie.net now to ahve a look at what to expect at the weekend also all the stats are live now on bungie.net and they are puttin gup some new sections.

chrismon

i was holding a copy in work today,really wanted to bring it home!
how did ye get your copies early,
and dont say something like,
i have my ways :cool:

evad_lhorg

they got review copies.



evening herald has a big two page arcticle on games and they reviewd both halo 2 and SA. now i know gta is fcukin deadly and they gave it a 9/10 but what ive heard about halo isnt amazing tbh. they gave halo a 9 as well but from what they say about it it just doesnt seem 9 worthy. they say repetitiveness is back, plot isnt great, more of the same and the only really great improvement is onlne play.

With reports of the abrupt begging-for-another-sequel ending and the vagueries about it appearing during this console generation I think you can be pretty sure Halo-3 will be an Xbox2 launch title. It'd fit with their timeframe especially considering it sounds as if Halo2 was cut short rather than being truncated due to time constraints, this would allow for more content in 3 in the lesser development time they'd need to make projected launch dates. Just my $.02 of vapourware speculation .

jesus_thats_gre

The game looks savage!! Is GAME defo open tommorrow night at 12?
