Famitsu 34/40 (85%)
Famitsu xbox 37/40 (92%)
OXM 97/100 (97%)
UK OXM 100/100 (100%)
OXM AUS 100/100 (100%)
Power Unlimited (93%) (single player rating only)
Peril 96/100 (96%)

There ya go, still not sure about the EGM reviews as i've heard rumours saying there fake and rumours saying their true.
 
The three scores from OXM dont count. That's like VALVe Magazine giving half life 2 a 100% rating.
 
No game is perfect. I can hardly take a review giving a game 100% seriously even if it was rating HL2.
 
avg: 94.7

woot, go halo2.

how many ratings for hl2 are there so far?
 
I wouldnt say "crappy" but it does leave you hanging......time for halo 3 :D

It'd be damn higher too if it didn't get that 90%. Someone always wants to be different.

No doubt they'll make Halo 3, I reckon it's a next gen project though.

2 x 90%. That Italian GMC magazine or whatever its called only rates out of 10 and doesnt give decimals.
 
Nice :)

Famitsu never really liked Halo - I'm actually suprised with such a high score from them.

Hopefully we'll get an Edge review next month (8 or 9 me thinks)

Same here, no way will Edge give Halo 2 a 10 after they've just given Half-Life 2 a 10.
 
I think it won't get a 10 cause Halo 2 isn't really offering much new - not anything substantial anyways.

More of the same - which is all good imo :)
 
How come any of you know the ending of Halo 2 and say it's bad?

Anyway, there will be a HL3 too so who knows?
 
Well, I play the full version (it was delivered to the german press on monday) but I'm not that far yet. It's pretty long and I wonder how long they have played it since the first leak was french and now the new one is english.

any chance of posting a short review after you've finished the game :E?

I'm talking maybe a small paragraph, with some pros and cons :E ifs thats all cool with you
 
I'm a game journalist in Germany. Writing for some magazines and websites. Also I work for gamesTM UK if anyone has heard that.

@Sparta: how much do you want to really know? I can say a lot but I don't want to ruin the game for you...

Top magasine.

I already know what happens in the game (I'm a sucker for spoilers) but if you do post it on this forum, make sure its safe for everyone who doesnt want it spoiled.
 
Well, to be honest, I won't post story details here as I myself hate spoilers but let me say a few things:

1. The graphics are the best I've seen on the Xbox and I guess I have seen nearly all games. When Chronicles of Riddick came I thought that was max but now it's different. The action happening around you is amazing, the texture quality is great (even if you go very close). The Halo 2 world just feels so much larger than it was in Halo 1. Explosions and animations and overall graphics max out the Xbox (time for Xenon I guess ;))

2. The game is very aggressive and harder to complete than the first part was. Although the controls (except dual-wielding) are the same I find it harder and more stressful. Too much is happening. I guess I will get used to it but I play some other games parallel b/c I need to write articles :(

3. The Xbox Live segment of the game is addictive like no other game has done before. Customizing to an extent I didn't think it possible on Xbox (remember it's not PC ;)). The new features (the hosting Xbox logs off, game switches to next best connection) and the clan management are extremely nice.

Anything more you want to know?
 
yes, massive warning signs.

i haven't heard of gametm but probably because i'm in austraia.
 
No warning signs as I won't spoil. I just don't want to b/c I would hate it...
 
woot :)

also, went you walk away/closer to textures become blurry or 'un' detailed ?
 
They stay very detailed even if you walk very close. Normal mapping in all its glory. Overall the texture detail and "feeling" is very nice, not as good as the PC can do but nevertheless...

What struck me when I played through the first scene was sizzling with life, so many details which I will not explain here (spoilers ;) Some ppl can guys more from one sentence than expected).

Halo 2 is good, very good.
 
And even if it didn't, he'd be far from 'owned'

That was just a shitty, snide comment - nothing more than saying 'you're wrong and i'm right' .. in a school playground kind of way.

Halo 2 doesn't use normal mapping.

Erm, it does. Like Riddick did. Not that it would matter.

If you think I'm owned, I couldn't care less.
 
You can't give a game %100...
 
a good reviewer will at least find a few quibbles hidden deep in the game, much like pc gamer did with HL2 and HL. i'll never believe that you can't remove at least 2-3 percents from H2.
