The Story
Set approximately 10 years afterwards the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture one time again echo together 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 delivering them back to the undersea city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were one time 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 great 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 much great thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, this for some reason has reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from the original BioShock, but in addition very different in this you possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten years. The question is, as you journey throughout the decrepit and stunning fallen city underneath the waves, hunting for answers and the answer to your own survival, are you really the hunter, or the hunted?

Gameplay and Multiplayer
In BioShock 2 players will get on the role of the original Big Daddy, not this of strategy one protagonist, Jack. As a Big Daddy you will have access to all the strengths and weapons of a standard Big Daddy, counting the drill and rivet gun. Extra importantly you in addition possess free will and the capability to use plasmids and gene tonics — genetic modifications allowed for throughout ADAM, a stem cell harvested from conquered enemies, or sea slugs outside the Rapture air lock, and powered by the in-strategy injectable serum known as EVE, which can be found, captured or bought. Plasmids and gene tonics offer a wide range of aggressive and passive capabilities which can be upgraded and arranged for fast use. The capability to use plasmids and tonics provides you a decided edge over other Big Daddies and much other denizens of Rapture, excluding the great Big Sisters. In addition, due to their role as a Big Daddy, players will experience a new relation to the Little Sisters. Upon defeating standard Big Daddys you are given the familiar choice as to whether to harvest or adopt them. Harvesting gains you ADAM immediately, but could alter your path throughout the strategy, while adopting makes you responsible for Little Sisters, who then accompany you throughout Rapture, but in addition offer aid and warning in times of danger. Additional gameplay features contain: new plasmids, weapons and the capability to combine these two.

The strategy in addition features the anticipated multiplayer modes. Several of these are team-based, allowing up to 10 players. Inside these players are provided together with a rich prequel experience this extends the origins of the BioShock fiction, and lets you to have fun as one of several characters pulled from Rapture's history before the events of the first strategy.

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Entertaining with an interesting multiplayer   2010-03-09
By Galen J. Gonzalez (Bakersfield, So. CA. USA)
If you played the first Bioshock then the game play is nearly identical. One trigger controls plasmids, the other controls your weapon. It's a visually stunning game, and played with surround sound it's definitely a noteworthy experience. The multiplayer takes a little devotion though. If you've read the game magazine reviews there's nothing new here. Limited to two plasmids and weapons per load-out is very restricting, but makes for some strategic choices that will undoubtedly leave some frustrated. Definitely for mature players as you'll be spending most of your time lighting Splicers on fire, then filling them with bullet holes, or using a giant drill to eviscerate them.

Aside from the violence it is a well made game any gamer will enjoy. The online makes it replay worthy, but we'll have to see what kind of DLC is coming down the pipeline.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Underwater Adventure that seems a little too familiar   2010-03-08
By Derek (Illinois, USA)
First off, I would like to say that Bioshock 2 is a great game. It brings lots of new elements to the gameplay with plenty of variety.

The new style of gameplay is great and gives the series a breath of fresh air. The dual wielding makes this game much more interesting and faster paced. The graphics are very familiar. Not saying that it's a bad thing, but it just feels too much like the first game. The atmosphere is still top notch, and no other game can compete.

The story was just okay. It wasn't as interesting as the first game. To be completely honest the story is exactly like the first game. Too much of the same is never a good thing. It just didn't have that "wow" factor this time around.

What makes this game a full purchase is the multiplayer mode. The online is like most games but there are many differences too. Bioshock 2 has a very original style of multiplayer gameplay. It's really fun because it's not serious like many other games out there. It's great to sit back and just play for fun and not be so competitive.

I give this game a 8/10. What keeps me from giving this game a 9 is that the story is not very interesting. It's much too similar to the first game. It is still a must buy though, especially if you loved the first one.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Similar to the first   2010-03-08
By Jay A. Ehrlich II (PORTLAND, OR, US)
If you loved the first Bioshock then you will also enjoy this one. Although rapture hasnt changed much, there are some new parts that you get to explore and its nice to just get to be back in rapture wielding plasmids and shooting deranged splicers. It is also nice that they added on some extra tasks to make the game less tedious and the hacking is much better now than it was in the first.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Pretty good   2010-03-08
By J. Rand (DC)
The story is pretty good. No huge twist like the first, but still a good story nonetheless. Overall gameplay is great. I'd definitely recommend this.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Still a fun game with many improvements.   2010-03-08
By Jaewoo Kim (Santa Monica, CA)
I just finished playing Bioshock 2 on my PS3 after playing for 10 straight hours (the game is about 12 hours total). Needlessly to say, the game is fun and addictive (but still very creepy). It has a better shooter action and more challenging opponents than the original. If you liked Bioshock 1, you will not be disappointed. Although the play action of this game surpasses the Bioshock 1, the storyline wasn't as enthralling. And that's too bad since lack of captivating story makes this game just an another great shooter game. The philosophies of the characters, however, are deeper. This game makes you think of your own consciousness and what it means to be alive and choose. Just like the original, you must make several moral decision that determines the outcome of the game.

Here are the significant differences between Bioshock 1 and 2:

1)You get to use both plasmids and weapons at the same time (not quite simultaneously)
2)The weapons are far more powerful than in Bioshock 1.
3)You are not as invincible as Big Daddy as you were in Bioshock 1.
4)You only get to store maximum of 6 First Aids and Eve Hypos.
5)The opponents are far tougher and move much quicker.
6)There are more twists but they are more obvious than in Bioshock 1.
7)There are fewer puzzles than in Bioshock 1


Overall, I was entertained. But I can't say I was as emotionally into this game as I was in the first one, and that emotional content and captivation made the first Bioshock one of the greatest games of all time. I can't quite put this game ahead of the original, but this is still a good game.
