 A pale shadow of the first game Mar 10, 2010
I'll admit up front that I'm biased by my love of the first game. That story was cinematic, that gameplay was fast and fun, and those graphics were incredible. I pre-ordered the second game right away and just finished it.
Where the first game was about the fall of a utopia and the corruption of the leaders involved in its creation (power corrupts, etc.), this game is about the attempted resurrection of that utopia by any means necessary, in this case the abduction of children, basically putting forth the moral that the ends do not justify the means. A great idea, but the straightforward storytelling this time around really hampers everything. The first 2/3 of the game contains no storytelling surprises; the characters involved this time around are only moderately interesting; and the father/mother rivalry, while novel at first, is repeated so often with no further developments in the story arc that it became a yawn halfway through.
The new gameplay aspects sounded interesting before I bought the game, especially the idea of playing the entire game as a Big Daddy - something the first game only allowed me to do for the final boss battle. Unfortunately, the developers chose to "balance" the game by rewriting what it meant to be a "Big Daddy." This Big Daddy apparently wears spandex for armor because at the beginning of the game he dies after a couple good whacks from a wrench-wielding splicer, and he burns through Adam about as fast as a Hummer burning gasoline on the Autobohn. A better balancing act would have been to ratchet up the splicers' individual lethality or to have the splicers hunt in packs like wolves. One Big Daddy against a pack of coordinated splicers would have been a pretty sweet fight. Instead the developers gave us "Not-So-Big Daddy" against the same bad guys copied-and-pasted from the first game. At that rate I could have just replayed the first game (again).
The graphics are about as good as they were in the first game, but everything this time has a real been-here/seen-that feel to it. I enjoyed exploring new areas that weren't in the first game, such as the prisons and the nurseries (and I especially enjoyed the idea that a "utopia" would need prisons and rehabilitation - er, brainwashing - facilities), but there wasn't enough truly new stuff in the environments to instill in me that same sense of awe that I had playing the first game. And wandering around the ocean floor outside of Rapture was fun the first time I did it but bloody boring after that since there is almost nothing to do outside the buildings. Even the one shark I saw just ignored me and swam by.
I never played the multi-player so I cannot comment on that. I played the first Bioshock for the story, and I always planned to play the second one for that same reason. Unfortunately, this game failed to deliver. The story is mediocre, the new gameplay elements are only kind of fun, there was no game-changing twist like the first game had, and by the last four hours of playing this game the whole thing simply became for me an end-run to the final cutscene so I could say I finished it and then play something else. It's fun, but it's certainly not worth full price - unfortunately. Rent it or wait for the price to come down significantly. In the meantime, play the first Bioshock again. It's a far better, far more rewarding experience.
 Awesome! Mar 09, 2010
Game is what you expect if you played the first Bioshock although to me it lacks a little creepy factor that I most enjoyed in the first game it's still a really cool fun game. The multiplayer for me is much easier to play as oposed to a cod or halo multiplayer that can be hard to adapt to at least with the plasmids in this game you get a chance to kill people lol but all in all well worth the $$ spent : )
 Great game, story falls a bit shot but multiplayer is very different Mar 09, 2010
I walked into this game with some doubt even with the stellar reviews i could not imagine a good sequel for bioshock the master of fps story lines. The story starts out with a bang but slows down until the end of the entire game. The rest of the game is composed of the train is stuck kill someone to get it working again. That, for me, was the worst part of the game even though they made rapture such a nice place to explore i got tired of walking around to get my train to work once again. But never fear the game will pick back up later on, i wont spoil anything. The ending was very satisfying, its nothing like bioshock's one weakness, its ending. The multiplayer is very different and it is surprisingly fun. When i picked this game up the last thing i thought was i was going to play the multiplayer but while i type this review i can not wait to get back to playing. The plasmids and the different way the tonics all blend into the multiplayer experience gives bioshock 2 its own place in FPS multiplayer history. Its its own unique thing that is actually being supported the first DLC is coming out soon and looks very cool. Over all i would say that you should pick this game out. Sure the storyline is not bioshock one but it is still very good and rivals most other games that are put out anyways. Its a must have ^^ If you do pick it up or any other game add me PSN - Thetijessop Xbox - Soaring Spoon
Amazing! Mar 09, 2010
I bought this for my husband for his birthday! He absolutely loves it (he's playing right now!). He finished Bioshock, so what better present than Bioshock 2.
My two year old is concerned for the little girls... Mar 08, 2010
When I saw my husband playing this in front of her I made him stop, so now he plays after her bedtime. Bought this for my husband, he absolutely loves this game... he's is a little psychotic, so all the gore and darkness was super good times for him. He did have a little difficulty playing at night as anytime he heard a noise, he'd jump through his skin, he's a jumpy-psycho. My brother on the otherhand was disturbed by this game, too much so that playing with the lights on wasn't helping, so he settled on CoD.
Personally, I love this game, it's been about 2 weeks since I've seen my husband.
