SynopsisIn this sequel to the best-selling Xbox launch title you gain even more first-person shooting action against a host of new alien races. This is your chance to once again take on the role of hero Master Chief, a genetically engineered soldier, as he battles the Covenant for control of the galaxy. While in the first of the series you saw Master Chief destroy an alien artifact, Halo 2 gives you the opportunity to see what the action is like on Earth's surface. Along with powerful new weapons from fallen enemies and exciting planetary landscapes, you will experience more than double the number of vehicles found in the original. In addition to a single-player campaign playable across multiple difficulty settings, you can also compete online via Xbox Live. Although there is a lot ahead of you, you won't be alone. A collection of allied forces will be on hand to help you conquer the Covenant and take control of the galaxy.
