BioShock 2 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Now that BioShock: Infinite is out, I thought it was only fair that I give this game a proper review before picking up the newest BioShock edition.

Though I played this game over a year ago, it is such a great game that the experience is unforgettable. I played through on normal and then on hard, which is a must for this game. If you're patient, smart, and creative you'll have a great time. If you're looking for a game you can blast through in a few hours without thought, plan, or preparation, don't even waste your time.

The best and favorite parts for me are as follows:

The sound (of enemies, weapons, and environments). The voices of the different enemies are done really well. Things like hearing the spider splicers crawl across the ceiling, Big Sister's piercing scream as she's about to attack, the satisfying feel and sound of the weapons as you fire them; the list goes on. Bottom line: great sound.

There are many different weapons and plasmids. The variety of combinations when attacking really encourages creativity. My favorite aspect of combat is traps. Being able to lay a nice trap for an enemy is a rare thing in gaming. You will be able to lay down the most intricate traps for enemies here. The cyclone plasmid is the most enjoyable as you attain more ways to use it. Lay down the cyclone trap and infuse it with fire, ice, insects, electricity, etc. Combine that with trap rivets, mines, and the fact that you'll be there filling enemies with exploding spears and shotgun rounds; the possibilities are endless, and so gratifying. Also, switching between different plasmids and weapons is seamless and smooth.

Think ahead, use your environment, be creative, and most importantly take your time. The atmosphere is spectacular. Take in the surrounding beauty of this underwater dystopia and explore every nook and cranny. It will make the game easier and more enjoyable. Do that, and this'll be one of the most awesome games you'll ever play.
