A Negative Review of Halo 2

KaiEl writes "An avalanche of glowing reviews has already made Halo 2 the second-highest ranked game of all time on GameRankings.com. Looking for an alternative viewpoint? The Video Game Ombudsman has gathered the bad points from nine separate Halo 2 reviews into the only negative review of Halo 2 you're ever likely to read. Useful as a cautionary tale about out-of-context quoting and as a reference manual for rampant Microsoft haters who might want to make the Halo 2 argument a little less one-sided."

Re:Halo 2 vs GTA:SA

[slasher guy]

Linear campaign - open-ended campaign
With a linear campaighn you know where to go next.

Less weapons - More weapons
All weapons are unique and well thought out in halo 2, I don't know how it's in GTA:SA

Less than 10 vehicles - 200 vehicles
Again, the're all truly unique, each one requiring different strategies. I know they mostly work the same in GTA:SA

Microsoft/Bungie - Rockstar
Whats wrong with bungie (or rockstar, I don't get the point you're trying to make)

Dedicated soundtrack - Rage Against The Machine, Cypress Hill and Dr Dre.
Have you even listened to the halo 2 soundtrak? or read the reviews?

Sexy aliens - Girlfriends
Got me there. (although, cortana ;-P)

Green armour - More clothes than Final Fantasy X:2. And tattoos. And haircuts.
In singleplayer yes, in the story, the MC has green armor. In multiplayer howerver, you can be many colors, have a symbol on your shoulder, and be alien or human!

Excellent multiplayer - Fun multiplayer
Great graphics - Good graphics
Here i'm starting to think i should defend GTA:SA :-)

6 hours gameplay single player at least - 40-50 hours at least
I know ill play that 6 hours through at least ten times. 10 * 6 =60.

No sex - loadsa a sex
I'm sure everyone here gets lotsa sex in real life ;-P

Warthog racing - Monster truck racing
Nope, the race mode is out in Halo 2

No stats increase - Starts increase
Sure there stats increase, On xbox live.

But dont mind me, I'm just a fanboy!
