Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - An okayish game
Firstly, a lot of people are moaning about Windows Vista but Vista has no problems for myself. The only 1 peice of hardware that I own which doesn't work on Vista is a K-World DVB-T tv tuner. Vista runs very smoothly even under load.

Secondly, Halo 2 is very much a slightly better looking Halo except the gameplay is slightly worse. This game suffers the same as Halo, its overhyped by Xbox users because they're not used to such "high end" graphics. PC Gamers will find this game okay looking, even when new. Same with Halo, it was an okay looking game but both are very plain with little detail.

There's no replay value, it's very linear, the storyline is very good

Multiplayer is better than singleplayer but ... Read More:



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Impressed
When I bought this I knew it was just the same thing as the xbox version, apart from having achievements.

Game has a few people playing online and a decent campaign storyline (terrible ending, though)

Multiplayer is now free, Microsoft announced only a few days ago that Games For Windows - Live is now free for everything.

So if you got this on the xbox, dont expect more than you already have, but if you havnt played this, you wont be dissapointed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brilliant
If you loved Halo 2 on the orginal Xbox, you will love this. Everything is the same as it was before. You dont even need a high end computer to run it.

If you have an Xbox 360 with Xbox Live and is always after the achievements, I would say go for it. Its a good way to earn those extra achievements.

All the people below me say it horrible because of the operating system (windows vista)and that graphics have not been improved...Its true but the operating system is brilliant and it runs ALL my XP games such as World Of Warcraft, Call of duty 2 and 4, Warcraft, Painkiller, Black and White 2, The Sims 2 etc.....

Dont be blunt about the negative reviews, if you loved it on the Xbox, You will love it on the PC,



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Exactly what I wanted from a second Halo
Ok, well i didn't have an Xbox console until recently, so finally being able to play Halo 2 on my prefered platform, PC, was a treat. I followed the game through it's 14 month gestation, intregued as to what they were adding over the original Xbox, as well as being excited as to being able to finally play the game.

I think some of the reviews on this game are entirely childish. Please, sensible people out there, ignore the reviewers giving this game less than 3 stars, it's completely unfair and not an indication as to the quality of this game.

Right, my PC is: Intel Celeron D 2.8ghz, 1Gb RAM, Geforce 7600GT, Vista Home Basic.

As you can see, it's quite a modest rig. However, luckily this is a fairly old ... Read More:



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Halo 2 - Worth Looking Into
I have always been a fan of the Halo series, I have both halo 1 for PC and xbox and halo 2 for both PC and xbox.

Halo 2 for PC should have been a good game. they have changed little bits here and there from the xbox version and it plays a lot better and you will think it's great at first (if you have played the xbox version) but then you will start not to notice the changes. The AI has been upgraded and is now smarter which makes a real difference in the game, your enemies are smarter and so are you allies which seriously helps during combat. They have also played around with the movement settings so you have cleaner movements on the game and have changed the enemy settings so your enemies will move more realistically, will speak to ...
