Halo 2 was released in November 2004, and it was a follow up game to the blockbuster smash hit Halo. The storyline in Halo 2 transpires after the events of the original Halo. There is a war between the Covenant and the humans (led by Master Chief). A good chunk of the plot was told via the covenant perspective. This provided a good change of pace from the Master Chief perspective presented in Halo. Since I recently reviewed Halo 3, I do want to bore anyone with the Halo 2 synopsis. Furthermore, I am not going to go into too much intricate detail about Halo 2. Here is Halo 2 in a nutshell.

Pros:

Gameplay (Halo 2 had dual wielding, hijacking vehicles, new weapons)
Audio (Halo 2 had brilliant music and voice acting)
Multiplayer (Halo 2 was the most engrossing Xbox Live game available when Halo 2 made its debut)
Storyline (Halo 2 had a plot that was better than the original Halo, and shed some light on the Arbiter)

Cons:

Graphics (Halo 2's visuals are not up to par with other Xbox video games)
Length (Only a ten hour game)

The multiplayer added a great deal of replay value to the game. Overall, Halo 2 was a game that definitely was the best first person shooter on the Xbox.
