Decent, at best
This game is a matter of comparison. It's SP, compared with its predecessor, is complete garbage. You get about two levels in, and you start to wonder why you are still holding the controller. If you want to keep up with the story, then play the SP game, and pay close attention, as it is rather complex. If you don't plan to get H3 and finish out the story line, then you probably won't have the patience to finish the game.
As for the MP, it is better than the first one. Which is not to say it is good, as the balance factor is terrible (battle rifle, plasma pistol, rocket launcher, and sniper rifle - thats it, the only worthwhile guns in the game, roughly in order of importance). The only more unbalanced online shooter I have played in recent memory was . . . well . . . Halo 1.
Overall, it is only valuable as a segue between Halos 1&3. Otherwise, avoid it, its not worth the time.

Halo 2 I just recently purchased HALO: Combat Evolved and HALO 2 from Amazon. Just yesterday I received both in the mail =). I was extremely pleased with the graphics, I am saving up to buy a XBOX 360 and HALO 3 ($[...] refurbished by Gamestop ,) I am so ready to pass the insolent levels of covanent! I am playing non stop everyday =)!!!
GOOD GAME!!

Great Halo
This was purchased as a gift for my son and he loves it. He completed the first one and is on his way to completing this one. Halo 2 is a little shorter than the first one but is still worth it if you liked the first Halo. I have played it a few times with him and it's not bad. I think this one may be better than the first, but it's a hard choice because they are both good. This plays fine on the Xbox 360, by the way, just as the first one does.

The sequel to the game that sold Xbox systems.
Halo 2 seems to have disappointed a lot of fans, while also attracting many new ones. I'm a fan of the series as a whole, and still consider Halo 2 to be a solid and worthy addition to the series.
This game really was a graphics standout when it came out. it pushed the original Xbox to its limits. I don't think there was a better looking game at the time for consoles in my opinion. This isn't to say it didn't have its share of problems. Indeed it had its share of texture pop in and frame rate issues, probably a result of pushing the Xbox too far.
The soundtrack is generally the same as the one from the original Halo, but with a bit more rock music. I didn't really notice any improvement in terms of sound effects from the last game. Not exactly revolutionary, but still good.
The campaign is pretty short, a main complaint of fans including myself. Many people complaining bout the ending, but i think its fine, it leaves you wanting more. There's actually some pretty good plot twists in the story this time around, although nothing quite as big as the introduction of the flood. A cool thing they added this time around is the introduction of the arbiter, a hardcore Elite executioner. You can also use Elite swords now, which are awesome. They got a rid of a couple old weapons from Halo: Combat Evolved, but have also added some news ones, trying to make them more balanced. You can also now dual wield smaller one handed weapons. What really added tot he game this time around is the online multi-player. People are still playing years after the game has been released. Its definitely a great online shooter experience that adds a lot of replay-ability.
A very awesome game with balanced weapons and vehicles, a good but short campaign, and groundbreaking graphics. This is a game to be experienced.
