Bioshock 2

    Product Review

    Release Date: 09 February 2010

    Follow-up to BioShock, 2K Games' critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2007 release, BioShock 2 is a first-person shooter set in the fictional underwater city of Rapture. As in the original game, BioShock 2 features a blend of fast-paced action, exploration and puzzle-solving as players follow varying paths through the overarching storyline based on the decisions that they are forced to make at various points in the game. In addition to a further fleshing out of the franchise's popular storyline, players can look forward to new characters, game mechanics, weapons, locations and a series first, multiplayer game options.

    Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster — somehow familiar, yet still quite different from anything ever seen — has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were once one of the forgotten little girls known as Little Sisters, known to inhabit the city's dank halls. No longer a pawn used to harvest ADAM, the dangerously powerful gene-altering lifeblood of Rapture, from the bodies of others and in turn run the risk of being harvested herself, the Big Sister is now the fastest and most powerful thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason has reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from the original BioShock, but also very different in that you possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten years. The question is, as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city beneath the waves, hunting for answers and the solution to your own survival, are you really the hunter, or the hunted?

    Real epic

    I though, a whole game played through the eyes of a "Big Brother" can never, never top the story of Bioshock. But it did!. The whole plot gets better and better. The last 2-3 hours of gameplay are moments, you will always remember. So, I give this game a 5 stars rating! And I hope, that Infinite will be as good as this one.

    Rapture paradise

    If you loved System Shock, System Shock 2 and Bioshock this sequel will not disappoint. If you are looking for massive graphic changes or surprising plot changes then you might not be totally impressed. I have played System Shock, and Bioshock on the PC and then played Bioshock through again on my PS3. After playing Bioshock 2 yesterday evening for 4 hours I was not disappointed. The gameplay is fairly unchanged from Bioshock. I do like the dual wield functionality as you will be mobbed by Splicers from time to time. A single Splicer is no challenge however 5 or more at a time can be fun. They become more aggressive when you have a little sister with you however you have enough time to setup traps, position yourself and even hack turrets to assist you while the little sister is harvesting. The Big sister is one tough cookie so far and seems designed to be unbeatable at the early stages of the game. Tenenbaum is back as are the recordings to guide you through the game. The hacking portion of the game is changed from Bioshock however I like the change and there is even a bonus feature for performing a better hack. Overall I would rate this game as high as Bioshock, if you are a Bioshock fan I would be surprised if you don't enjoy this game.

    Going back to Rapture is a trip worth taking.

    Bioshock was an excellent game that oozed with atmosphere that many games just can't deliver. It had a really tense atmosphere that kept you constantly checking if you'd missed some splicers. In Bioshock 2 it's really cool that same intense and creepy atmosphere makes a comeback when you take control of none other than a Big Daddy. There's no words to properly say how cool it was to drive that drill through a splicer for the first time after having stunned it with electricity plasmid. Bioshock 2 is even better than Bioshock was, because now you can use plasmids and shoot/drill at the same time with dual-wield. If you liked first one, you're going to love this sequel. I'd give it 5 stars instead of 4, if it were the first trip down to the Rapture. Now it's more like an enhanced experience of Bioshock that feels quite familiar even with all those changes/improvements. Highly recommended to any fps/action/adventure gamers out there!
