DaRmaZat A lot of gamers say Halo 2 is the best Halo ever made. I’ve completed the original in 2006 on PC, but it did not really impress me at that time for known and unknown reasons. So I thought, I have give it a second chance with the Anniversary edition.
But even after finishing the game for the second time, this time in the remastered version, again I’m not impressed. OK, it’s nice to play two different protagonists in the story, the dual wield is a cool add-on and the graphics look often very nice, but the game feels rushed and clearly created as an intermediate part of the full Halo story.
It’s certainly not a bad game – even though the AI is often very stupid – but Halo CE had a much better story telling, especially regarding tension building in my opinion. The fact that I killed the end boss Brutus by shooting his head about 20 times with a simple cab gun, while seated from a safe position, is just plain unacceptable. This was good, but certainly not epic.
