Bioshock 1 was an outstanding game, regardless of whether or not FPS games are your style. Well, Bioshock 2 only adds onto the Expansive story and city that is Rapture. The first thing you’ll notice is the visuals. I thought Rapture was amazing before, but this is just amazing. The second thing you’ll notice is your character. You now play as a big daddy, trying to protect your little sisters from the others, and choosing whether or not to harvest them. A lot of the Plasmids are the same, but to the same effect, a mass amount of Plasmids are new. The most important expansion though, are the guns. Even in the first 30 min of game, you are shown around the same amount of weapons as there were in the entire first game, and the list gets very big very fast.
The one thing that they really did to keep true to the Bioshock Saga was the Plot. With more twists and turns than the OJ Simpson trial, you’re going to find yourself knee deep in the drama of Rapture. But they kept the perfect amount of content from the first game in it, and really managed, even after all this time, to get me still wanting to play Bioshock more and more.
One thing any Nvidia 3d vision users will want to note: The game does have built in stereoscopic 3d support, but I saw far to much ghosting, to the point where I turned it off and gamed in 2d for the time being. This was unfortunate, but I’m sure Nvidia will release a new driver soon that will fix these problems. But for the time being, I wouldn’t get to vamped about the 3d support.
The multiplayer is good, but don’t be expecting a Call of Duty multiplayer thing here. The multiplayer is more of an added bonus. You buy it for the single player, and then play the multiplayer once you are bored with the single player. I could see it doing a lot better, but it could also be a lot worse. Again, I wasn’t really expecting much from the Bioshock 2 multiplayer, so this didn’t play a big factor in my review score.
Overall, Bioshock 2 is a good game. But there are a few minor things that keep it from being 100% perfect. That’s why it earns a 90%.
