Fortunatly its not. I cant believe some of you are questioning the quality of Halo2. Its Bungie for gods sake. With as much time and money needed to create Halo 2.

Halo 2 looks to be a huge step up from Halo, quit worriying.

what does 'Its Bungie' mean?

 

[Coen]

EDGE will certainly not give this a 10.

 

[duderon]

I think between EGM, IGN, and Gamespot, two will give Halo 2 10/10.

 

[Timbuktu]

I would predict a nine from Edge. Improving on the original is what a sequel is supposed to do anyway, if it isn't groundbreaking and give us a new experience, it shouldn't score a ten, by edge's definition. The first one scored quite a few 10s itself, I think Halo2 may match it, but probably won't improve on Halo in terms of scores.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

I only hope that magazines give this game to people who didn't like the first or FPSs in general and ask them to review it and voice their concerns. As someone who didn't like Halo all that much I'd value their opinion much more.

 

[shpankey]

after seeing some videos now...

it's getting 10's folks. lots and lots of 10's.

Steadfast resolution... must... remain... strong...

*taps vein*

I HATE YOU!

 

[shpankey]

lets put it this way... after seeing some gameplay shots and these videos, i went back into the MP2 pics thread and literally starting laughing out loud at them.

Some people think Bungie got lucky and Halo was the only quality title they ever developed. Naive.

 

[shpankey]

Halo isn't even their best game. Myth: TFL is IMO the greatest game ever made and KILLS Halo.

You are in a for a suprise.

 

[IJoel]

You are in a for a suprise.

Certainly not from you.

 

[Mrbob]

Never doubt the power of lock on split screen goodness dude.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Certainly not from you.

ok? Meaning?

Never doubt the power of lock on split screen goodness dude.

Lock-On affect graphics. I will admit that.

I will let you get back to your wank fest.

I guess that all depends on your attitude. To me "10" means perfect.. and no game should ever be given that score

I disagree. If 10 meant perfect, and therefore no game gets 10, then why not just score out of 9?

The 'out of 10' marking is way too low resolution to simply write off one of the numbers.

IMO, 10 simply means Very, Very good. Almost perfect.


As for Halo2 - depends what it does. If its simply Halo + Multiplayer, then as good as that would be, it wouldn't deserve a 10. The baseline for games is constantly shifting, and sequels especially should be marked relative to their predecessors.

So a 10 for Halo would mean that it is a massive improvement on Halo in every regard. And that is a tough target.

 

[skip]

if no game can ever be perfect, then 10/10 should never mean perfect.

 

[M3wThr33]

The score should be a fraction multiplied against $50 to determine how much it is worth.

 

[Brofist]

I think games shouldn't even be graded #/10 anymore, should be #/Halo 2

 

[AniHawk]

I think Halo 2 can dethrone OoT as far as all the tens and such go.

 

[Phantom]

With all the big games coming out in the next few months I think there is a strong chance OoT will lose its position on the top of GameRankings.

 

[PanopticBlue]

What videos?

 

[SyNapSe]

What videos?

It's a TRAP!

 

[thorns]

Why should a game be rated based upon how good a sequel it is? Ratings should be objective, if halo 2 is a great game on its own, it should get a great score, without regards to how it compares to halo 1.

 

[Speevy]

I think Halo 2 can dethrone OoT as far as all the tens and such go.

You think Halo 2 can get better than 22 10's and 19 non-10's?
