BioShock 2 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Bioshock 2 takes place in Rapture 10 years after the death of the protagonist from Bioshock 2. Though this time the story has been changed drastically. You are no longer a human, but a Big Daddy on a quest to reunite with his lost little sister. The obstacles you are forced to hurtle truly test the bonds between a little sister and her "daddy".

After playing Bioshock 1, I was extremely excited to play the sequel. Upon completing the game, it was clear that I had not been let down. With a Big Daddy as the main character, a lot has changed from Bioshock 1. For instance, the wrench is a weapon of the past. Who needs it anyway when you are equipped with a drill that can rip apart an enemy from the inside? Also, new weapons and enemies have been introduced. With the strength of a Big Daddy, normal splicers are now less of an opponent and more of a hassle. I found the only time they were a threat were when they were in a large group. One of my favorite additions, was a new enemy called the Big Sister. This ruthless enemy travels rapture attempting to maintain the balance of Rapture. These enemies are tougher than Big Daddies, and emit a shrill screech whenever they draw near. I don't know about you, but I quickly feared that piercing noise.

Although the game was relatively short in length, it redeemed itself with the new features of gameplay. It seemed that all of the worst parts of the first were fixed or modified in the second. For example, you no longer have to switch between plasmids and your main weapon. Both attacks are at your disposal, which allowed me to integrate different combos in my combat. The voice acting was incredible too. Not only were the characters interesting, but I found myself caring about most of them. With the situations you are put in, tough choices are to be made. Will you spare the life of an innocent, or kill for selfish reasons?

In my opinion Bioshock exeeded my expectations, and I highly recommend playing it.
