Sticking my original issue regarding the stupid Official Magazine Halo 2 perfect score:

Lets take it as given that Halo 2 is the biggest release on the Xbox this year, a given that Microsoft has dumped a ton of money into advertising revenue and given they have spent THREE years employing hundreds of staff to get this product to the market place. I would say that after all that, they will want to squeeze every available penny out of Halo 2.

Now given that the Official Magazine is funded by a)Microsoft and b) Advertising Revenue from Microsoft and c) is the first magazine to offer a review to a eager fan-boy community, please tell me what editor would allow Halo 2 to go out of the door at anything less than an argument-causing sycophantic 100/100?

Moving onto your comments about how good Halo was, I don't really care about dual screen capabilities, how I can enter vehicles or how many grenades I can throw at once. What I care about is, did I enjoy playing it?

The answer is yes and no, it got repetitive and boring as the game progressed and was saved by a fantastic start and a very nice ending. Some levels could have done with being shorter, some could have done without being the same level as before but reversed. However all in all it is one of the better games I have ever played.

Each person has their own hot-buttons when it comes to games though, Halo didn't touch alot of mine however it may have touched all of yours. It is unfair to say that because you didn't enjoy a game someone else shouldn't (in the same way that it is unfair for you to state how Halo was better than Doom 3. (Mainly coz you're wrong )) Three brackets on a run :O
