Review--Bioshock 2

I honestly do not know how I feel about Bioshock 2.  Nothing stood out to me as either terrible or great.  The gameplay is definitely an improvement over the last game.  The ability to use weapons and plasmids at the same time streamlines the battles greatly.  The story was in no way memorable.  It was uninteresting for the first 80% of the game.  The ending made up for it slightly but not enough.  The worst part about Bioshock 2 is harvesting with the little sisters.  It makes sense since that is what big daddies are supposed to do, but it does nothing but bring the pace of the game to a grinding halt.  The multiplayer is interesting, but it failed to hold my attention after a few weeks.  Overall, Bioshock 2 is a pretty forgettable game, which is a shame because the first Bioshock was amazing.  If your itching for more Bioshock, then there is still a little fun to be had here, but for everyone else, I'd recommend renting it first.

  A note to begin the review: If you have not yet played the first Bioshock, do yourself an huge favor by completing that before playing this game. It's a great game that's really worth every bit of praise it receives. Short review summary: A more simple and poignant comparison of the atmospheres of both games: in the first game, you timidly held a wrench. In this game, you have a GODDAMN DRILL FOR A HAND. When 2K Games announced its plans to start a franchise based off the success of the fi...
