ROFL! Great pick up
Text of the (spoiler-free) Famitsu Xbox review:
The battles in this game are really hot. Its been a long time since Ive played a game thats made me forget to do important things like eating and sleeping. The maps are great, the weapons are great, the pacing is great and the overall design is top-notch. The single player mode, which has been surrounded in mystery up until now, really does live up to the hype. Buy this game and youll love it. Trust me. TEN OUT OF TEN.
Im terrible at pretty much every first-person shooter out there, but I really enjoy the ones that Im able to play well. The games opening grabs you and doesnt let go as it swelters you in the world of Halo. Even when you die theres an urgent sense of aspiration that keeps you playing until the end. I was also able to play eight-player multiplayer which was really cool. If you can, I recommend playing Halo 2 on the biggest screen you can find. NINE OUT OF TEN.
The overall composition of this game is excellent. So much is stuffed into this game and there are so many play mechanics that pull in the player. The NPCs that battle and converse with you on the battlefield really add an element of realism and the inclusion of more weapons and vehicles opens up the game even more than before. Multiplayer is also awesome. NINE OUT OF TEN.
The battle feels so natural youll often times forget youre playing a video game. For gamers who dont need to play like spectators and simply go from one goal to the next, you will find Halo 2 really enjoyable. For those who became FPS fans thanks to the original Halo, youll find much to like with this sequel. And isnt vehicular multiplayer not the most fun thing thats never existed?! (Ed: He really says something to this effect.) NINE OUT OF TEN.

About a week to go...*Kerry's President-elect, and **Halo 2 in the 'BOX!
*Damn, I hope so.
**No fucking doubt here.
