    Simply stunning!

    The first Bioshock was one of the (still is) best games released in it's time. It was simply gorgeous (albeit freaky sometimes) in every aspect from graphics to gameplay mechanics and the big monster bull that made this game, the story! I could not get enough i finished it about 7 times and got all the achievements for it ...... I WANT MORE!  
     
    Now Bioshock 2 is to be the successor of one of the highest rated games and had a lot expected from it, with a different studio making the game fans were worried about losing authenticity and the original feel of rapture, and overall the game.  
     
    I was not disappointed, it was just as good if not better than the first. The story lacks in depth seeing as how fresh everything was in bioshock (meaning more areas to cover back then than now) but the Campaign still delivered and then SOME! Fighting a new enemy as a new hero for a new cause. The audio diaries are back, if i didn't know any better i would have guessed they were made at a hollywood budget.  The atmosphere of the game simply sucks you in, its very mesmerizing to say the least. 
     
    This time round the developers added the much desired multiplayer content to the game, it is not a long lasting experience but for it's worth it delivers.

Rapture was the star of the show; an atmospheric city built deep below the waves. Its 1930s art deco architecture housed by the criminally insane minds of the smar...

        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...
