Started Bioshock 2

Forgot to write about this last night, got busy with work and lessons, but here's my update.
Bioshock 2
As the title reads, I've started Bioshock 2 (for the 360). If you've played Bioshock 1 you immediately feel at home. Rapture is, once again, a beautiful city, full of diverse environments for you to scavenge about in. I'm a little unsure how to feel about this one though. The question "Is this a proper sequel?" still lingers and i'm about 3 or 4 hours in.
You start as a Big Daddy, and with the way the story seems to be going, I'm going to assume you stay one for the remainder. The back of the box claims you to be the first Big Daddy, but not the only, and apparently you've garnered a reputation of doing some good, and bad, things.
The gameplay is so far completely unchanged, save for a few new weapons (the Drill!) and i'm hoping a few new plasmids to use. You still explore Rapture, checking every nook for items, money and audio books that give insight to the story and the city. The environments aren't exactly the same, but they have the same feel. The only complaint I have concerning environment is that they don't have the same effect they had when I first stepped into each new area in the first Bioshock. Perhaps that's because I've been here before?
The enemies are still splicers, Big Daddy's and the works, except I've run into what they call a Big Sister, who is the biggest pain in the ass ever. Fast, powerful, acrobatic...annoying. But that's what I get for playing on hard.
All in all, it seems basically like the more of the same (in regards to the first Bioshock, of course), as I've yet to encounter any significant changes. It seems 2K Marin took the safe route, and I'm not sure yet if that's a good thing or a bad thing...I'm curious to see how the well the Multiplayer works out, so when I take a dive into that I'll update. I'm hoping to see, or do, something that will give props to, or hint at, the first game (this is supposed to be a prequel, if I remember correctly, right?).
What Else...
In other news. I watched The Proposal last night. Ryan Reynols, Sandra Bullock...well I have a man crush on Ryan Reynolds, don't ask, but it was actually entertaining and funny at parts. Not the greatest movie, but worth a free watch (once again, Netflix instant streaming <3). They've added a ton of TV shows like Prison Break, 24 and Firefly that I want to finally watch, but I never have the time. Next movie is probably going to be Dune.To recap...
