BioShock 2 Completed

Put the finishing touches on BioShock 2 and I am extremely pleased with the game. There were some bumps in the beginning but they all began to smooth out as the game progressed. Guns work much better in this sequel and the upgraded versions on the old Plasmids make for a new twist to the gameplay.

Multiplayer is something that I can see me going back to playing in the future. Very fast paced with almost all the elements from the single player still intact such as hacking of machines and researching enemies for damage bonuses. Think of a Quake 2 multiplayer with Plasmids. It's pretty insane.

The story however is really only relevant to people that have at least played the first BioShock, and even more so for the BioShock hardcore fans. There are several nods to the first game that most newcomers won't understand.

BioShock 2 suffers from something I like to call Extended Endgame Syndrome. It feels like the ending of the game takes too long to finish, something that I think the first BioShock game suffered from as well.

Go get BioShock 2 if you want to go back to the world of Rapture I say. If you want to play BioShock 2 then I'd highly recommend going to see BioShock 1 first.
