It's NOT very much like the original HALO when it comes to actual gameplay. It's got a very dark story going on and the gameplay (including weapons, etc.) reminds me very much of the old N64 game. I used to own it and play it all the time, but it's been years since I've laid eyes on it!). The gameplay of HALO 2 reminded me of that N64 game with the female protagonist (wasn't it DARK something? I can't remember. The game is not as freeroam as the original (as others have pointed out). The opening montage shows a space ship gliding through space and it's much more realistic than the original HALO in which many battleships seemed to just be still images being screened in front of a back projection. The movies are great - I don't like the new/remapped characters such as the Covenant creatures in the opening sequence.but they look amazing and character details (faces in particular, and body movements) are more realistic than anything we've ever seen before. If I had played this first, would I feel the same? 2. I agree that the weapons aren't as good in HALO 2 but that's probably got to do with the fact that I enjoyed HALO so much. If HALO 2 had been released first, people would be saying HALO "sucked" because they changed the weapons, etc. The high expectations are what cause people to dislike this more so than the game itself. Or is it? Okay, here's a few things to consider: 1. Well, okay, it's not the masterpiece we expected. The new graphics engine was supposedly "kick-a$$," and nothing we had ever seen before. HALO 2 is the first bit of HALO we've had since 2001. It was "the" highly anticipated game - more so than GTA San Andreas, which has had its predecessors close behind (2001, 2002, 2004). HALO 2 has disappointed many videogamers.
