...these reviews are so late, my copy of the game has been blowing me away for a week or so since I got it. Also my parents have been praising my newly learned language, French...:D

Remember to stress these points when making flamebait posts about Halo 2:
1. Same tired gameplay 2. Repetition 3. The console FPS ALWAYS sucks
Thank you.

I'm glad that a major media outlet has justified those beliefs! If those guys hadn't verified the the same thing another million or so players had been saying months ahead of time, it might not have been true!
It's a damn good thing we have professional critics like these guys, because we all know that none of us are qualified to have opinions and you can't trust what just any-old gamer says, these days.

Let's be honest. Halo 1 was only popular because it was the first exposure most non-computer geeks had to first-person shooters. Anybody who played Doom, Quake, Descent, Quake, Tribes, UT, or any other classic fps were left shouting "WHY are they expecting me to play an FPS with these two stupid sticks?"
Halo 2 is just a slight extension of the same thing. I can't understand why H2 is getting great reviews in the same way that I just can't fathom how Dubya got 58 million votes.
Therefore I blame the religious right wing for Halo 2's reviews.

You know, I feel the same way about Jazz. I don't like it much or listen it much, other than Kenny G, but I have a strong desire to criticize it despite my complete ignorance.

Since we haven't played a good single player FPS game since Halo 1!

Thank you.
I've been playing this game for almost two weeks now, and yeah well, I gotta tell you, it has a couple of flaws.
1) Everyone speaks french? What is up with that?
2) It doesn't work with xbox live gameplay...
3) My xbox now says I'm banned from xbox live?!
I give it 5/10 for good efforts, but why french??

If you have to ask, you'll never know.
Halo level design was awful.
