Bioshock 2

Ok guys I am going to do a reveiw of bioshock 2, since it is such a kick ass game.



Ok, lets start with story line, I think that the story in bioshock 2 was not as good as the firsts, its interesting sure, but not much to it, no plot twist or anything, all it is is trying to find your little sister before you laps into a coma, or go insane.

This time around you are the first big daddy, also the best, you are able to use plasmids unlike other big daddies, and that comes in handy along with the new weapons you find along the way as well. Since you are now a more powerful enemy then in the first game, you have to have bigger challenges, and one of the those challenges is more splicers to fight, and new breeds of splicers too, like the new brute splicer. Another new enemy introduced in the game is the big sister. Like the big daddy the big sisters are equiped with a diving suit, and have a special relationship with the little sisters too, yet unlike the big daddies, they are more agile, and more powerful in general, expecially since they weild the power of telekinisis, and incenerate. One more special ability that the big sisters have is the power to drain adam from a living person, which fuels their plasmid abilities.


Lets talk about the combat. Like I said before, there are alot moer splicers to fight, which means you need a more effeciant way of collecting adam besides just rescueing or harvesting a little sister, so as a big daddy you can battle other big daddies for the right to become the big daddy of their sister, and once you have one she will guide you to a body with adan, you can put her down to drain the adam, but once you let her go its a huge battle with splicers who are attracted to the smell of adam, so its your job to set up a peremeter and protect the little sister till she is all finished with the body. With all the new adam you collect, you can go to a special vendor to alter your self with special abilities called plasmids, they are like super powers, making fires appear, shooting lightning, stuff like that. The weapons in the game have gotten more complex this time around, the biggest problem i that since you are a big daddy, armed splicers dont carry around your weapon types, so the only way to get ammo is to kill a big daddy or buy it. There are still weapon upgrading machines which inhance one weapon of your choice per machine, to my understanding there are 14 machines threwout the game, so make sure you choose wisely about what you upgrade.


If you have xbox live then you can fully master the bioshock gaming experiance, the new multiplayer. In multiplayer, there are a few game types to play such as capture the sister(capture the flag) and civil war which is just a straight shoot out. You will get put into a team eith 4 other players, and was you kill other people and win games, you receive adam, and when you get enough adam then you level up, and when you level up you can unlock new weappons, plasmids and tonics. I personally think that over all, the multiplayer experiance on bioshock is fun at first, but not really naything special, unlike modern warfare 2.


I give it a 3/5 over all, and wonder as to wether or not they will make a 3rd installment of this series.

Thanks for listening
