New Opinion of Halo 2

Now that I have played Halo 2 for several hours at a time I can say definitely that I like this game for the XBoX. It details the struggle of the human species to survive against the superior technology of the aliens and their blind faith religious cultism that they would impose on freedom loving earthlings. In this way Halo 2 is really analogous, and applicable to our own lives, and should be viewed as such. In life we are often confronted by aliens who would enslave, or probe us, but, as in Halo 2, we should not yield so easily to their sweetly-hummed siren song. NO, we must resist the aliens, and declare our freedom and the freedom of the dog lords who rightly rule over us. Hence, by playing Halo 2 for many hours a simple-minded, short-sighted human can become "virtually" entangled in the affairs of a make believe universe, while in real life doing nothing more than sitting on the floor, thus Halo 2 is the ultimate mental workout.

Recently in the "Alternative" press there have been some grumblings about Halo 2. Two points in particular were attacked. Holding two weapons at a time, and the use of vehicles in vanquishing the aliens incumbents. The "grumbled" point is valid. There should not be any "hoopla" at all over these two "innovations" (if they can be called that). On the otherhand, the hand that controls the direction of movement that is, I'm not sure these "innovations" have existed on a console game before. I'm no expert, but I spared no expense. On the third hand, the hand of a Nala fugitive that is, holding two weapons is very fun, although it limits the player's ability to throw grenades which is crucial in essential moments of combat. On the fourth hand, Goro's fourth hand that is, the one that killed Johnny Cage, driving a vehicle in Halo 2 is very fun. This is one of the funnest parts of the game, especially a Scorpion Tank. " and I must be honest here, I love driving it. It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."
