In short, Halo 2 is what you would expect coming from console to PC, with the obligatory upgrade in resolutions and graphics, and no real fiddling with the formula that has sold so many copies worldwide. The developers did manage to piggyback the game onto some exciting and revolutionary technology, and that should prove interesting in the months to come. If you're a PC gamer who has ignored the Halo craziness up until now, or just a fan of the series and happen to have a Vista equipped PC, check this one out.

5 of 5 Computer requirements Monday, June 25, 2007
Ron from Sugar Land, Tx
The minimum Vista requirement is 3.0, based on the windows experience index. My experience with 1GB RAM and and index of 4.5 was ok, but load times were very slow. By adding and additional 2GB of RAM my index was increased to 5.0. With load times reduced to just a few seconds. The game itself is every bit as good as the original Halo and provides about the same number of hours of playtime. My recomendation is to have at least 2GM of RAM, and a good graphics card with 256MB or more of RAM. Was this review helpful?
