  • Abstract:  When the city of Rapture was first unveiled, it was an underwater dystopia ravaged by civil war and self-destructive genetic manipulation. This strange and unforgettable world was also one of awe and wonder. Set nearly a decade after the events of its ...

  • It's going to be a familiar experience for anyone that played the original, but BioShock 2's improvements to gameplay and its more focused storyline make for a game that's more playable and easier to digest. Some of the sense of awe and myster...

  • Satisfying story; combat is improved; Rapture is still an interesting setting.
  • The initial awe of finding and exploring Rapture is gone; the game looks rough at points; multiplayer is fun but tacked-on.

  • Abstract:  Bioshock 2 is an atmospheric, immersive game that does more than just hold a candle to its beloved predecessor. The campaign is engaging, the multiplayer is great, and the new gameplay elements are excellent. Don’t miss out on this one.

  • Greatly improved combat, new Plasmids/Tonics offer up some great mix-and-match opportunities, stunning presentation, multiplayer mode is good fun
  • A few technical hiccups here and there, still a bit of backtracking involved
  • A stellar continuation of 2007's objectivist-fuelled epic, BioShock 2 offers up plenty of worthwhile improvements and much-needed gameplay tweaks, all the while introducing players to yet another immersive chapter in Rapture's impressive mythology...

  • Abstract:  Most certainly one of the best titles of the year. A significantly improved combat system, much smarter AI and a wider range of plasmid abilities make for much more engaging action. Carefully realised settings, fantastic audio, the right balance betwe...
