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.

BIOSHOCK is a strange, addictive game for a first-person shooter. I’m never sure that I like the game but can’t stop playing it. Its strangeness is its virtue. It is especially appealing to gamers who like picking up stuff, opening drawers, cabinets, doing puzzles, etc., and using the weirdest weapons ever. The story is part dream and part nightmare with some really interesting political, social, technological, utopian/dystopian commentary thrown in. But all those details you can get from more expert reviewers on this site.

My complaint is that I have not been playing the game for very long and it has started freezing up on me repeatedly. Online I read that it is an Xbox 360 problem. I wouldn’t be surprised, and if so, my star rating is unfair to a great game.

I’m going to start saving up for a PS3. So some of you might want to invest in the PS3 before buying this game or any others. I had the same problem with the last HALO (which I couldn’t finished and perhaps unfairly blamed the game) and ARMY OF TWO, thinking it was the games, not the 360 platform. Now I’m not so sure. But with HEAVY RAIN coming out only for PS3 (apparently because the physics is too heavy for the 360) I’m now thinking it’s time to upgrade to a PS3 platform.

Later… Because of the freezing up couldn’t finish the game.

These are the reasons I do not like bioshock

1. How, as a Big Daddy, are you EASILY killed by your average splicer.

2. Why, in multiplayer, is your grenade launcher as effective as throwing paper clips at

people

3. Why, in multiplayer, do the characters have these ridiculous jerky movements that look

totally unrealistic

4. What is the purpose of the Big Sister besides screeching like a banshee and hopping

all over the place

5. Why does every splicer look exactly the same

6. Why does it take more than one trap rivet to kill anybody

7. What is the purpose of running around eating potato chips for a 0.5% health increase

8. What the Sam Hill is the purpose of standing around like a moron taking “research videos” of your enemies while they are blasting your face off

9. In multiplayer, why does the voice of that sports guy make me want to punch someone in the face

This is why I like Bioshock 2

1. spooky ambience

That’s it. I think the multiplayer mode is ridiculously dumb.

I just finished the game and this is my impression taking into account I really loved Bioshock one!

Overall, the game is great but lacks the advantage of the first impression that I got playing Bioshock one. Early in the game, I got the eerie feeling of de ja vu playing the game as if it is just an extension of the first one, but later on things got better and the story and game play got much more interesting.

couple of negative points for me:

- The game raised high hopes talking about venturing into the ocean outside Rapture, but really NOTHING interesting comes out of it in the single player mode (I didn’t try the multiplayer mode yet, so I don’t know if things change there). It is just as riding the train between levels in many games, you don’t have any sort of meaningful activity! The environment looks a little bit “Avatarisque” but I preferred the panoramic view that we got in the first game of a real city under water with whales going around.

- The second negative thing is that even though 20 years supposedly passed since the first part, nothing much changed in Rapture! most of the enemies are the same, however you got couple of new interesting and tougher ones. Also, the weapons and the powers are mostly the same. I expected a full overhaul of them when you play as big daddy!

Now, enough of the negative points, and I’ll move to why I gave it a full five stars:

- The new enemies are really tough and interesting, and at some moments the battles are really great and enjoyable.

- The new ability of wielding BOTH weapons and powers is really, really GREAT and enhance the game play a lot! its fun to paralyze some enemies with electricity or putting them on fire while simultaneously shooting the hell out of them with your shotgun!

- Finally, lets face it! Bioshock story-telling and voice acting are WAY better than any other FPS in history!

I hope this review is useful for you, as it is my first review ever!

This game is the sequel to the blockbuster Bioshock. When Bioshcok first came out, it was innovative and new. This game is more of the same so if you are a fan of the first game, you will love this sequel. Nothing new or revolutionary but the game feels like a more polished version of the original.

The original Bioshock was awesome, it introduced us to to the underwater metropolis known as Rapture. It was an eery, disturbing scene that drew you in.

I’m 3/4 of the way through the sequel and while I’m having lots of fun playing it falls short from the original. I haven’t yet played online (I honestly bought it for the single player campaign) and can’t really see myself opting to play Bioshock 2 online instead of Modern Warfare 2.

I would still recommend the game if you liked the original. Rapture is a very disturbing city filled with lunatics, crazies that are all jacked up on gene hacks and they arent going to kill themselvs fast enough. The storyline, like the original game, is filled with disturbing plot that will satisfy.
