What do these ratings mean?

When Halo Combat Evolved came out there was no doubt that it was an amazing game...but Halo 2 just wasnt as impressive....that may be because the campaign was short and relatively easy...there wasnt as many of those epic moments of surprise like when halo was discovered...if you remember cortana saying it with just utter calmness "that is another halo", ya small things like that have pretty big effects when you want somtin that will blow you away. The graphics improved and the vehicles became more colorful...that has to be one of my favourite parts of the game is the mindblowin graphics...and another thing...it seems that a lot of people were hyped about playin as an elite.......not me, through the whole first game it makes the elites out to be total enimies...playin as them and not gettin to dust off any humans wasnt very fun...all you did was kill your fellow elites and flood. whoopdy ****in do, lol

it is pretty cool to see the covenants side of the story though, but it wouldve been best to just stay as homeboy (master chief) through the whole game

 

But what it lacks in its campaign it makes up for in its amazingly fun multiplayer, the varity of weapons and NO HEALTH PACKS make it more fun...plus the hijacking is great as well.

Halo 2 wasnt as great as the first one...but it still is an awesome game and definately one to buy.
