Halo 2 reviews

The other weird thing is, GS trashes the cutscenes, but from what I've seen of the cutscenes in downloadable movies, they look better graphically than most other console FPS games: normal "polybump" mapping, environment mapping, self shadowing, etc I don't think the textures will loook as good as a PC, but they look pretty darn good for a game that runs smooth on a GF3 and a half equivalent 700Mhz celery.
Other reviewers said H2 has no repetitive levels like H1 library level, so I don't quite get GS's comments on this. Only two things mentioned everywhere that people agree on: short campaign and disappointing cliffhanger ending.
That said, I've heard HL2 has somewhat of a cliffhanger ending too.

I don't think any one review should be trusted for a score (although it bothers me that gamespot felt the neeed to post spoilers in thie review.)
Currently at game rankings Halo 2 has a 98% average. It was just narrowly edging out the legend of zelda the orcania of time, however some obvious fan_boys (111 to be exact) have givien Halo 2 a user rating of 1/10 in an attempt to keep teh orcania of time as the number 1 rated game of all time.
Pretty pathetic IMO, but very typical of the internet.

Ratchet & Clank it isn't as "cool" as Halo or GTA or whatever, but I've had more fun playing the R&C series. That's why there are such high scores for R&C3. It's fun.
To the person who wants an original game, I offer you two words: Katamari Damacy. You may not like it, but it sure is original.

That's only because those games are still so early in there release or in the case of MGS didn't get many reviews at all. Games tend to start high and level out a lot as more reviews come in. For instance at 10 reviews, at the start of today, Halo 2 had 98%, now at 20 reviews it has 96.8%. I only take a games ranking seriously once its hit 30 or so.
EDIT... seems GamesRanking have removed the 80% Halo 2 review. Which has taken its score back up to 98% I've never ever seen GamesRankings remove a review like that..
The reason was posted on the website.
"We are waiting for EuroGamer and Gamer Europe to add in their Multiplayer sections of their reviews before adding their scores to the DB"
Apparently they only reviewed one portion of the game and not the entire game (talk about strange.). Not really fair if they don't provide a complete review.
anyway, I was talking about the top scores over all. Did not have much of an effect on the overall ranking of the title, however user reviews are factored into this and there are 116 votes for a 1 out of 10, which was just enough to force it's overall score down a few percentage points, leaving zelda in the #1 ranking overall (highest score of all time).
Judging by the reaction to the overall ranking on IGN cube boards, and how I've seen threads posted rallying people to post poorly on smething they haven't played there before, I going to stick to my guns that those people giving it 1's were doing so for that single reason. Just seems kinda lame imo, but what can you do.
