Halo 2 Scored in Japan
Halo 2 is seeing a near simultaneous release worldwide -- a big improvement from the original where gamers in Japan were forced to wait over half a year for the greatness of Bungie's landmark first person shooter. A Japanese release means Japanese reviews, and today we spotted the first one on the pages of Famitsu Xbox, Japan's largest (and only) Xbox exclusive magazine ...
... Halo 2 was given the most favorable rating of the month with a 10, 9, 9 and 9. The magazine's editor-in-chief scored the game a ten and had this to say: "The battles are totally intense. It's been a while since I've forgotten about sleep and food to this extent while playing a game." We'll skip the bit about the campaign mode in order continue the trend of avoiding spoilers, but the review finishes off with "Xbox users who play this will be truly happy. Seriously."
