Fools...
Sometimes I think that there are people on the xbox forum who have forgotten that the sequel to the best game on xbox is coming out.
Yeah, alright, so there isn't exactly dayly updates but still, maybe we can all say what we want in Halo 2 and when updates come, we can post them here...........

No problem mate. ;-) I'll be on later if you're on - plus no doubt I'll get on tomorrow too. If I see you on I'll invite you. ;-)
Hey Savatt, sorry for not accepting the invite on Mech Assault last night, I didn't notice for ages that the yellow icon thing was in the corner of the screen !

So you basically wander around like you would in a 3D Zelda game, except its in a first person view ? Er, fantastic. As for the AI, the footage I saw just had enemies leaping blindly at you with sod all tactics involved.
And Timesplitters 2 - its a good game with some great levels such as the Wild West stage. But overall, I don't think its a touch on other FPS games I've played - Halo obviously being one of them.

You mean like Halo's reviews then ?
Very few people really find Samus a good character, where as Master Chief is one that people can associate with. As for plot, Halo's was excellent and I think you'll find that Halo encourages exploration far more as the levels are gigantic and the GC cannot technically do them if it tried, on many levels you wonder how the hell you found your way to the end.
Have you thought of applying to Nintendo's PR division, 'cause this is what the above sounds like.... fact is your still trying to say how a 1 year old games is not as good as a brand new one, and not exactly convincing any of us either...

TimeSplitters 2 is utterly fantastic. Anyone who disagrees should be shot.

Metroid Prime is innovative - something that just can't be said for Halo, and probably it's sequel. Exploration is encouraged, while platform elements are seamlessly sewn into the FPS gameplay. It's much more of an adventure, and encourages you to be quizzical and interested - in turn finding out about the plot. The enemy AI is fantastic too, and there are vast battles across plains and well designed levels.
Oh, and then there's the reviews it's got..

Metroid Prime is innovative - something that just can't be said for Halo, and probably it's sequel. Exploration is encouraged, while platform elements are seamlessly sewn into the FPS gameplay. It's much more of an adventure, and encourages you to be quizzical and interested - in turn finding out about the plot. The enemy AI is fantastic too, and there are vast battles across plains and well designed levels.
Oh, and then there's the reviews it's got..

TS 2 is pish.
I owned it for ages. Single player is dull. Feels old hat to play. 4 player multiplayer with bots just made me and my friends yawn.

I paid £40 on the strength of the reviews.
Single player is good, but nothing really. PD managed to achieve wonders with both single and multi and challenges - TS2 does challenges and multi very well (and I enjoy it for that) but I just wish they bothered to put in more single player - actualy made it into a story rather than a load of levels.
