so the PC Gamer review of Bioshock 2 came in. i didn't read the actual review, but based on it's Metacritic page, it got a 90%, not bad 
i'm slightly disapointed that PC Gamer said that Bioshock 2's story is not as memorable as the first game.  
heres the link:  http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/bioshock2

personally, i'm not terribly excited about the multiplayer, i just want a atmospheric, fun and memorable singleplayer experience with a good story. o well

Story in the first game sucked anyways and the ending just ruined everything. It was basically just System Shock 2 under water so the twist didn't surprise me.

"... despite a less memorable story." 
 
='(

i actually loved the story and premise of the first game, i didn't play System Shock 2 though.  
but i was slightly skeptical of the whole "10 years after Bioshock 1" idea. i really think that a prequel to Bioshock 1 taking place about 1 year before the the rapture civil war and going through the the war would be a fantastic Bioshock game. 
 oh well, i'm hoping that the other reviews will say otherwise regarding the story

Here's the PC Gamer UK review. Taken with camera rather than scanned so pardon the quality.
 

" Story in the first game sucked anyways and the ending just ruined everything. It was basically just System Shock 2 under water so the twist didn't surprise me. "

I thought as much.  Not to sound like the spoiled idiot who refuses to play a game because it didn't get a perfect score, I feel like my last chance at playing this game was pretty much just shot down for good. With no interest in the multiplayer, the story needed to be...."important." Being a great game isn't enough, BioShock 2 needed to be a great sequel to a great game. Oh well.
 
Well written review, also.

"despite a sadly less-memorable story."
 
 
I loved the first BioShock, but to me a sequel was stupid and needless, so I think I'll pass.

well i already preordered it and paid all of it off at Gamestop so i'll be picking it up on day one, but to be honest, i'll probably play it at least a couple weeks after its release because i'm currently on my first playthrough of Mass Effect 2 and i want to play it again.   
well if another Bioshock game comes out, Irrational Games needs to make it, and it should be a prequel, period. just my opinion.

"It feels as if BioShock took us through all the most interesting locales, leaving BioShock 2 to tread a less exciting path."  

"    well if another Bioshock game comes out, Irrational Games needs to make it, and it should be a prequel, period. just my opinion. "

" @Fripplebubby: well Irrational Games made the original Bioshock (originally was Irrational Games, then 2K Boston, then Back to Irrational Games) so i feel that Ken Levine and the original Bioshock team should have a hand in making the next Bioshock "
