Halo 2 by Microsoft

(Based on manufacturer's information)Continue the epic saga with Halo™ 2 - the much-anticipated sequel to the successful and critically acclaimed game Halo: Combat Evolved. Pushing the Xbox hardware to its very limits, Halo 2 expands on everything that made the original game great, and adds a wealth of technology and gameplay advances. Every improvement in Halo 2 is designed to tell an incredible story and take gaming to a new exciting level.

• Epic Single-Player Campaign. The year is 2552 and the battle between humans and the Convenant finally comes to Earth. You'll once again play as Master Chief, a genetically enhanced super-soldier and the only one standing between the relentless alien coalition and the destruction of all humankind. But during the struggle to overcome possible odds, you'll encounter old enemies, unexpected allies and uncover ancient mysteries.
• Intense Multiplayer Action on Xbox Live. The nonstop immersive fun of playing against your friends via System Link is back - and even better Xbox Live. Play on all-new maps using new weapons. Up to 16 players can play as a Covenant Elite or a Spartan, in new game types. Split into multiple teams, form clans, or simply go head-to-head against new friends or old enemies. Personalize you characters' armor with custom colors and emblems to enhance battlefield recognition. Other Xbox Live features, such as Voice Messaging, Live Alerts, and Stat Tracking on Bungie.net, help redefine the Halo 2 multiplayer experience.
• Vastly Improved Graphics and Audio. Designed to improve the gameplay and storytelling experience, Halo 2 incorporates a brand-new graphics engine built from the ground up. Huge destructible environments, detailed animation and impressive lighting effects are just a few of the many graphical enhancements. Positional audio effects and full digital surround sound create the total immersive action experience.
• Improved AI. Fight side-by-side with fellow human survivors who will react quickly and natually to events and circumstances; they'll help you when needed, man guns, and even drive vehicles for you. And beware of coordinated enemy attacks - they'll duck to take cover, climb over obstacles, and smash their way through debris to get you.
