This was a really cool game and I got a good deal on it. The game was fun to play and really was a long game. Some games are fun but they into soon this game is longer than you think. Lots of levels lots of challenges and interesting storyline. Storyline is interesting but doesn't get in the way of fun gameplay. Might be a little too graphic for young kids. I had a blast.

I love the bioshock games! I believe I bought a used one from best buy and it works just fine. This game is kind of scary and always has me on edge. I first played bioshock infinity and didn't know there was a first and second so I bought this when I found out. I think I like this game better than the first. Hacking is less annoying than the first game and you can get a free item. If you love shooting and scavenging, this is the game for you.

Overall great improvement from the first installment. Good story and gameplay.

Venturing back to Rapture is an exciting thing, especially when you get to go through new areas as a Big Daddy. If you have played and enjoyed the original, then you will enjoy this one as well. Not intended for children though due to pervasive language and graphic violence.

Bioshock 2 will be one the greatest games ever. It will have the potential to possibly be game of the year. My all time favorite game is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (soon to be Modern Warfare 2), however if that game was never released i would hands down choose bioshock to be my all time favorite game. I loved everythin about it, the story, the characters, content, weapons, plasmids, you name it. I know for a fact that bioshock 2 will measure up and hopefully be even better. If u love FPS then u should defenitely get bioshock 2, and if u havent played the first bioshock than go out and do it. This game will easily be one of my all time favorites.

I am back to Rapture! This game is a blast and although it starts out kind of slow, the pace picks up not long afterwards. I feel more powerful and more ready to face "...them Big Daddies..." now that my one-two punch system is more efficient and time-saving (thus, life-saving). I have been saving my lil sisters so far and i'll kill 'em all later on my second playthrough...lol...but it doesn't matter to Big Sister as she is really angry! Multiplayer is crazy fun but takes time to apply Bioshock's somewhat clunky/clumsy control...Honestly, this is the only plus-factor to this installment as to me, the first Bioshock is better story-wise with both being beautiful graphically and are engaging. graphics: 10 sound: 10 gameplay/controls: 8 story: 8 (Bioshock 1 is better story-wise) length: 9 (lots of things to explore...and splice!) A.I.: 9.5 (they're fast and ain't so dumb...I tell you) Over-all: 9/10... "...daddy, it's dancing!..." says the lil sister...I say, 2K, go on and dance you victory dance!

I enjoyed the idea that you did not have to Harvest the LIttle Sisters but could actually Adopt them and have them Gather Adam. Having Kids of my own, I thought that was cruel to tear apart a little kid in order to get the needed Adam for your Plasmids. I like that they expanded the number of Tonic Slots from the Original. The game did seem rather short and there wasn't any combat outside in the Ocean. I also noticed that at one point in the game it disabled all my weapons except for the Drill / Camera / and Remote Hack Gun. I had to finish the game like that. (P.S.You also get to play a little sister toward the end of the game which I thought was interesting)

i adored the first Bioshock and predicted the sequel to be like nearly as every other game sequel. no where near as good as the first.Bioshock 2 does something very rare. It manages to be very similar to its predecessor yet still prove to be different enough to feel fresh and refined. This is achieved through excellent plot, new characters an edge of your seat atmosphere that is all wrapped up in the stunningly gorgeous world of Rapture. The online multiplayer is pretty fun too, the only down-side being occasional lag (it's the same story with all games like this - when a game is developed around gameplay and immersion rather than out and out multplayer - e.g. CoD or Halo). You gain the use of different Plasmids and Tonics as you gain experience points and rank up, and as you do, you will also obtain access to stronger and more varied weapons. Computer games are like books, films and art; essentially, escapism. No other game in my opinion captures the essence of this 'escapism' better than the Bioshock franchise. Instead of living in a boring, cold Britain waiting to either be stabbed by a chav or freeze to death waiting for a bus, I am now a resident of Rapture. Yes I am being chased by Splicers throwing knives at me, being scared over and over at the sight and sound of a Big Sister and trying to rescue my kidnapped daughter. But I know where I'd rather be and I love it. Buy this game you won't regret it

Bioshock 2 is an amazing game. It's unbelievable to me that the first Bioshock didn't get more attention than it did. The addition of multiplayer should make Bioshock 2 more popular, although it will be difficult to get people to stop religiously playing Modern Warfare 2. Fans of the original Bioshock will be very satisfied.

This is a great sequel. Not as good as the first, but still very good. The graphics are amazing but I think that the game has strayed away from its underground beginings. I think that the expansion of characters may have been too much. Still one of the best games ever! Come on 2k games! Bring the games coming!

I normally hate 1st person shooters, but Bioshock is a completely different different. I love the graphics in the sequel & I love the new changes! A word of warning, if you have never played Bioshock before I recommend that you play the original first! Not because you need to know the story, but because the hacking system will drive you crazy, compared to how it's set up in the sequel. My only gripe is that the sequel seems to be rather short, compared to the original, but the multiplayer is very fun! I recommend it to anyone!!!

Hey everyone! I must admit that a secret city at the bottom of the sea, where you can go around blowing stuff up and killing all the nasty inhabitants,and get ammunition out of vending machines is a concept I cant get enough of. I loved the first game and went through it MANY times. This is a continuation and it feels and looks the same. I am most pleased to report that hacking has become MUCH easier. No more of that stupid liquid/tile swapping mini-game.

Simply the best game I have played this year. They have made quite a few improvements over the first game and the gameplay is smooth and fun. I have played through this game three times already because there are so many gameplay possibilities. The graphics and soundtrack create a great environment. You will enjoy this game!

I loved the versatility of the first game and this one is just as versatile, the new hacking system is a HUGE improvement as well. The biggest reason I was turned on to this game was the chance to go back to Rapture and Kick-crack as a Big Daddy, with that in mind I am hugely disappointed. The drill and drill dash is awesome but consumes a ridiculous amount of fuel, I think they could have cut the need for drill fuel, every other weapon including plasmids require some type of rapidly depleting consumable (EVE/Ammo) you would think they would give you one useful weapon that you don't have to constantly replenish. Your character is also surprisingly weak for being a Big Daddy especially in comparison to your average splicers. You have to almost empty a clip into a splicer to drop it but they can sh00t you a couple times and deplete all your health. With the addition of Brute splicers, Big Sisters, and the need to defend ADAM gathers from a insane amount of splicers it would have been nice if your character had one enemy type it could truly just OWN! I mean come on, you’re a BIG DADDY for crying out loud, random average splicers shouldn't stand a chance, if anything they should be toys for target practice. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my games having a certain level of difficulty, but I also love have something I can kick the tar out of just to demonstrate the character’s superiority on some level. All-in-all I love the game, I just wish you character was as bad as he should be, they sure made it sound like he would be. If you likes the first Bio-Shock, then you will enjoy this installment as well. If you were counting on being able to kick the poo out everything you encounter because you’re a Big-Daddy, then you will be disappointed. You really weren't given any "edge" as a Big-Daddy, none of your weapons are really anymore powerful, your character is still just as frail, but hey......you look pretty cool!

I have to say I am a bit dissapointed with this sequel of the first Bioshock. This second trial is good, but not same quality as before. Levels are shorter and I have a sense of lack of quality overall, if that's the proper expresion. Killing your enemies take a lof of ammo, and that means you ran out quite often playing in difficult, which is not good. Game is set to be more focus on traps and an intelligent gaming to kill your enemies, but having no bullets to do so spoil the attempt. The game didnt change the playing mechanic, so you will find same stile than Bioshock 1. Game is quite precise and polished even when some bugs are present, but nothing serious as to be an annoying issue. Story is OK, but just so. As result, I am not so complain to finish as I was with other games, including of course the first Bioshock. My opinion: a good FPS but I wouldn't spend more than $30 for this one, even when I bought it at full price.

Cannot wait for this game!!! This game along with God of War III and Gran Turismo 5 in my opinion will be the best games of 2010! Yeah I didn't give any other ratings other than the overall but I definitely expect it to be perfect in all aspects!

if you love great games with an addictive storyline and gadgets which you can cause mayhem with. all this with a weird twist. then you need to go buy this game at once , stop reading my review and drive down to your nearest retailer and buy this game. it is very very good. ive been stuck on it since i popped it into my ps3. friend or enemy i recommend this to you!

Good storyline, good gameplay. Amazing graphics and improvements

The feel of being a big dady is not that big but it's fun to have a drill to punch through enemies, and a rivet gun to kill enemies fast, it feels somewhat familiar but i love the familiar felling because if it was otherwise i wouldn't have enjoyed it like i did. Buy it you won't regret it.

This game is so fun. Most FPS's have pretty weak campaigns it seems because they focus heavily on multiplayer functionality. Bioshock 2 on the other hand is the opposite. The single-player campaign is just plain awesome. Great visuals and great additions over the also-great Bioshock. I played Bioshock 2 first and loved it. I then got a copy of Bioshock, played it, and loved it. I cannot wait for Bioshock Infinite!
