well seeing as this if the ONLY review ive seen thats given it less then a 90, i think ill just dissregard it totally, and also the millions of peopel playing it also say otherwise
 

I agree pretty much 100% with what FS had to say. I don't see how the game got such high praise. The story sucked, the gameplay was tedious, and the graphics were klunky as hell. Halo 1 was a far better game IMHO. Thank god the FS review knocked it off the top 10 at gamerankings forever. All hype, no substance (except maybe online, I have yet to play).

Also, the campaign ends abruptly around the 10-hour mark with an unsatisfactory ending that feels more like content was chopped off than it does a real cliffhanger. Only the impressive voice-acting
Sounds like a HL2 review.

Halo 2's storyline and single-player were most definitely a disappointment. 5 more levels than Halo 1 but still a much shorter game. I know Bungie has gone on and on about how much "bigger" the levels were but that's not the case. The levels are much smaller.

Multiplayer is much improved though.
