Good but not as good as the first,
by Jeff S., 2010-03-21
The first bioshock was a hard act to follow and this one didn't quite live up to it's predecessor. The story was quite similar to the original (with a differen villain) and the enviornment design lacked the interest of the original. Still it was a good game and worth if for no other reason than being able to see the amazing world of Rapture again.
Bioshock 2 just as awesome,

I really enjoyed this game, it has all the elements of the first game with some new features and an intensified clarified storyline. Its a great sequel to the original game and i definitely see major replay value.
Unremarkable - Bioshock 2 As A Vanilla Metaphor,
by joe bitterman, 2010-03-20
Unlike the first, this game will not remain in your memory for very long. It feels more like a prelude to another, not an end in itself. And instead of being unique in its gameplay it steals from other games (the voice of a loved one interrupting the game - seen in Dead Space and countless others) and from itself (basically the entire game, ie constantly fighting Big Daddy's).
The main antagonist starts out with a bang but quickly becomes just a nuisance of a voice. I found myself hoping to find more snippets of Andrew Ryan along the course or hearing again from the woman who was an actress? or a singer? (don't recall), versus hearing from Dr Lamb. The game also provides way too many opportunities for help (especially through the "Hypnotize" plasma) and I found myself with too much ammo, money, and health.
Doing the math, Bioshock 2 is a vanilla cookie. It's there, but if it wasn't, you wouldn't care. The story in this attempt is fine. The enemies are fine, though there are no real "bosses" and the majority of the game is finding a little sister and protecting her (which gets very boring and was stolen from the first, as, if I remember right, you did once). The new foe, "The Big Sister" has a frightening shriek, but when you figure out she's just a quicker Big Daddy, you don't care anymore. And the end? It just ended, which is frustrating, especially given how poor the finish of Bioshock was.
Bottom line, if you played the first you will likely play the second, regardless of the review. I just hope that you rent it through a free gamefly trial instead of spending much money on it.
My son loved it!!,

My sin loved this game. He is a very experienced gamer so that says a lot.
Shoot bees from your hands!,

IF you liked Bioshock then you will definatly like Bioshock 2. This game is just as fun if not more than the original. The only thing the original has over this one is the big plot twist, but its still a good story if you care about story stuff. You can only be surprised so many times, but who cares about that . This game is tons of fun. The combat, plasmid sorting & hacking is all alot more polished. Add in the new splicer stuff, lil sister gathers and big sisters & you will never get bored. This game is ingenious the way it flows story and gameplay together. Cant wait till # 3 comes out.
