8-10? No shit. That's short. :| I guess multi-extends it. How much longer does Halo 1 play for? I'm getting this game for solo action - not big on multiplayer FPS action. Not my thing. And I don't normally replay titles.
9.4 Gamespot
9.8 IGN
9.9 Team Xbox
Its suprising that the latter 2 places where you'd expect the game to score 10's; they don't.
<-- gamespot review
I find the comment about the abrupt ending very very disappointing This is the first time in a long while since I'e read through a review (skipped all the multiplayer comments).

I love the fact that some are trying to chum the waters and there really aren't any biters on it here . For every game released there will be some sites that review it lower than others because things just didn't click for the reviewers the same. Looks like Greg wanted Bungie to give him something different on the single player campaign. He didn't get it and he docked it. End of story. He runs GameSpot and I respect his opinion.

are you replying to my post? Did you read what I wrote? No multi for TGG. I don't like FPSes generally.
Crimson - it was the same for the EGM score (locked+archived thread) issue; not many people wanted to argue/contend the scores and I believe a few regular GAFFers were highly disappointed too.
Forget the scores for a second. I'm disappointed in how I keep on hearing the story in single player story is a disappointment. This is what Bungie has been working on for three plus years. Yes I known about the so called twist in the game for awhile and no I don't like it for reasons I didn't like it in that other game.
I think I'm good, but I'm no expert. I know there are alot of people that could own me in multiplayer. I guess I'll find out on XBL in a few days.
And I should add that I don't think there are many FPS that should be longer than that. After too long it gets booring to keep doing the same run and gun thing.

playing as the covie's sounds kinda fun, only if you're one of those " I WANTS TO PLAY AS THE BADASS MASTAH CHEIF CAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I HAVE A BIG PENIS!" gamers, I don't think you'll have a problem with it either.

I thought only RPG gamers were worrying about the lenght of a game.

Does GameSpot always have to review big games lower than everyone else? Do they think that because of that people will automatically assume they're unbiased? *scratches head*

I was able to finish the game before taking a piss.
Such large fps's should not be less than 1 piss long. I demand all future halo games to be atLEAST 3 pisses long. Preferably 4. I think 4 pisses is about right for an fps.
Unless of course it's so exciting that I inadvertently pee my pants...in which case it should be serveral times more pisses long.

I love how, 10-15 hours, somehoe goes down to 8, then to 5, what's next. OMG HALO2's 3 HOURS LONG!!
Whatev, 1p mode is a primer for multi-play for me, 10-15h is good by me. Its not the length that matter so much so the experience, GTA:SA has massvie hourage, but there are many hours in which its not so fun. I expect H2 to maintain an amazing pace all the way through. Plus online will add man MANY hours of GAF clan fuled muliplayer fun

Again, "big games"--Riddick and Paper Mario 2 don't qualify. I'm referring to Halo 2, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, GT4, GTA:SA, etc.
i found gamespot's review contradicting as well. it sounded like an 8.5 game, but he gave it a 9.4, which is apparently "superb".
hell, if you didnt like the game, mark it accordingly, dont be a pussy.
"the game has some flaws, and its just not revolutionary.
9.4, fucking fantastic game!"
what?

Gantz said:OMG dual SMGs are teh innovatioN!!!!
The way its done in Halo2, it can be seen as a minor innovation. What other FPS allows you to independently use both weapons? There's also certain amount of strategy that comes into play with the way Halo2 uses dual weilding. Its not just extra power
Watch it, watch other FPS do what Halo 2 is doing with dual weilding.

Not to put words in his mouth (or is that his head?6.8 said:

So doesn't dual-wielding weapons change how Halo feels?
Oh, and I await an answer to my question. When did Bungie start hyping the dual-wielding?
Ghost said:
True.
Hey, I have no problem with the fun factor of Halo. I've been playing multi since release day and Halo 2 is the reason I'm signing up to Live.
Seriously, I really want to know when they really started pushing the dual-wield concept. As in, when did they really go in depth with explaining it. I'm not trolling the game, I sincerely want to know. I just feel that maybe the focused too much on this addition and the other features were left out of because of it. I really wanted sprinting.
DopeyFish said:
Peeking, I agree.
I think sprinting could be utilized well in Halo. Like moving between cover fire. Sprint to another 'safe' location and just when you're nearing it duck and roll for cover. All the while the marines lay down supressing fire. It just seems like something natural for a super-soldier.

yea cause instead of fighting in "Combat" ul be running away for cover all the time.
right
It's now back above Ocarina of Time, btw. 98.9 > 98.5 But......
BA-BUM-BUM!
Gamers Europe - 8/10
And yes, that score counts in GR's main ratio, for those who care.

I have completely lost all respect for Gamespot. Seriously. This whole "shock and awe" tactic with reviews on big name games to get more traffic is ridiculous. They purposely rate hyped games below the average just to seem like they are the more "credible" review site. And then they give assanine reasons as to why they rated it the way they did.
Better graphics.
Better gameplay.
Better multiplayer.
Better story.
Better sound.
Better replay value.
All adds up to being a game that is better or "atleast" the same score as the first game. No longer will I put my trust in their reviews. Even Teamxbox seems more consistent and fair with reviews.
