Title: Product Reviews: Halo 2
Pros: Amazing graphics and gameplay, builds on the original with more weapons and vehicles.

Pros: With a complex, engaging story, more weapons, better graphics and sound than the original, Halo 2 is easily the best Xbox game available.

Title: Halo 2 Vista-only first-person shooter
Verdict: This is the 'ultimate' version of Halo 2, but shares all the flaws and assets of its source material. It's unfortunate that the developers weren't more ambitious in trying to sort out Halo 2's well-documented shortcomings. And if your PC isn't well-specce
Summary: Halo 2 is the creme de la creme of console shooters. Released in late 2004, Halo 2 sold an obscene number of copies and single-handedly made the Xbox Live service relevant. Halo and Halo 2 made the Xbox, and paved the way for Xbox 360. So it's understanda

Title: Halo 2
Verdict: Halo 2 isn't going to give your new DirectX 10 graphics card a workout, but boy will your trigger finger be bruised.

Title: Halo 2 (PC) review
Verdict: While the game has maintained a great deal of popularity on the Xbox, Halo 2 feels like something of a relic when you put it out as a 2007 PC game. The single-player campaign is interesting, and the cliff-hanger doesn't feel so horrific when you consider
Summary: Halo 2 for Vista is a solid game that probably won't appeal to anyone who's played any recent high-profile PC shooters.
