The_Professional said:I've played Halo 2 and wasn't thoroughly impressed by it. The gameplay wasn't that impressive in my opinion, the graphics are slightly better, but there wasn't anything new added to the single player, no bot match with extra maps, there was limited customization, no statistics to show how many aliens you've killed so far.

Tom McCurdy said:What--- The thing about halo 2 is it takes about of week of playing before the gameplay starts to make sense especially when your still thinking its halo 1.
With the additon of dual wielding halo 2 has multiplied the best multiplayer game of all time by 10.
The sword at first seems completely unfair, but once you learn to defend against it it becomes fair. The campaign mode aka single player has been completely revamped... you play as masterchief and as an elite. The cut scenes were godly.
Also they have added skulls to the single player that give you special ablities... you can even get the scarab gun! other cheats were invisibility flying, and many other possiblities. Its graphics improved to what the xbox could handel. Overall halo 2 is amazing, and I would have to rate it above everything including half-life 2 which is so dependent on that damn gravity gun.
xplay said:So it’s Doom, right? And it plays just like Doom, right? So what’s the problem? Well the surreal nature of the original Doom doesn’t quite hold water here. Much of the gameplay in the original Doom hinged on the player entering an area whereupon a number of hidden doors would open up and out would pour a slew of monsters for you to kill.
The same holds true for Doom 3. But in a realistically realized Martian colony, filled with rooms and offices that all appear to have a function, why are there so many secret hatches and doors leading to tiny little closets where the monsters just sit and wait for you to walk by? This is by far the dominating feature in the gameplay and it doesn’t really fit the setting Id worked so hard to impart.
There are moments in the game (which we won’t give away) that don’t rely on monsters popping out of closets. It’s these moments that are genuinely frightening and where Doom 3 is firing on all cylinders. But they just don’t come often enough. Mostly, you wander into an area, monsters surround you, and you blow them away. It’s fun, but it’s more mechanical fun than immersive fun.
Lowered Expectations
If you strip away all of those ridiculous expectations that have been built up over the last couple of years you’ll get to the heart Doom 3. It’s a visceral experience that too often falls back on tired shooter clichés. But occasionally, it does rise above the mediocrity to deliver a truly compelling experience. That, coupled with the best graphics available, is more than enough reason to recommend Doom 3.
