  • Abstract:  1997’s BioShock was a truly great game. It’s mixture of story, environment, and great fundamentals left gamers little doubt that they were experiencing something special. It wasn’t perfect–the moral choices had little actual consequence and the hacking...

  • Abstract:  BioShock was the ground-breaking game released in 2007 by 2k Games that has been the gold standard of video game creativity ever since. The game pushed the limits of innovation in every aspect of their game, and thus created one of the most creative, o...

  • Retains the solid combat system of the original Bioshock, Storyline is a unique twist on the series, Minor changes to hacking, research, and combat work out well, Multiplayer mode is surprisingly addictive
  • Many of the changes like Little Sister protection missions don’t work out so well, Challenge remains hindered by frustratingly easy dierespawn system, Doesn’t possess the haunting and thoughtprovoking storyline of the original

  • Sequels made after games where no follow-up title was never intended have an odd tendency of proving proficient in the games industry, though the second is never as good as the first. Bioshock, many adored and I praised, set the world afloat with a sta...

  • Same great gameplay as the original, great environments, and beautiful sound track and score,
  • Storyline is somewhat convoluted, feels more like an expansion than an actual sequel.
  • 2K Games sends us back to Rapture ten years after the events of the original game with BioShock 2. Does Bioshock 2 hold water and live up to it’s predecessor’s reputation, or does it sink to the bottom of the ocean to rust in Davey Jones&rsquo...

  • Improved combat; excellent sound; Rapture is still one of the most interesting settings ever made...
  • but the mystery and fear are gone; story and multiplayer feel slightly tacked on

  • Abstract:  Anyone who says BioShock didn’t need a sequel is a liar. The fact the first game was such a huge success may have been a surprise, but all it really meant was that a follow-up would do just as well, if not better, at retail. Almost as soon as it was an...

  • Abstract:  No surprise, BioShock 2 revisits the underwater world of Rapture as first introduced in the 2007 release of BioShock, the runaway hit of such smashing proportions that even the developers were reportedly "shocked" by its success.This sequel tricks out ...

  • Arresting visuals, Engaging story, Solid gameplay, with minor but effective tweaks to the first BioShock's methods, Strong multiplayer mode,
  • Overly derivative of the first game, but with a less-involving story, Internet connection required for activation on PCs,
  • Though BioShock 2 is extremely similar to its predecessor in terms of its story, look, and feel, some crucial tweaks pierce through the familiarity and nonetheless make this a worthy addition to the series. ...
