3/22/2023 0 Comments Bioshock 2 reviewI walked around with the incinerate plasmid charged up through most of my playtime just waiting for a splicer to show his face. The biggest improvement in the plasmid department is the ability to charge up the plasmid for a bigger effect. Since you now can keep both your plasmid hand and your gun up at the same time it really opens up the possibilities that mixing the two can bring out. Even though in the original Bioshock you could change from weapons to plasmids with one trigger pull the little bit of time it took for him to put one away and pull out the other really was a hindrance in switching between the two constantly. The ability to dual wield really does make the combat way better than it was in the first game. This is where the biggest improvement over the original Bioshock really shines, the new and improved combat. With all the poor turning to religion and the normality’s of the surface, Sophia Lamb captures the heart of the people and turns them into “the family.” When she targets you out as someone who needs to be dealt with the family throws everything they have at taking you out. The new antagonist of the story does a great job at setting the tone for the poorer parts of Rapture that you will be spending most of your time in. The good news is the new story, while nowhere near as great as the first one, is still compelling enough to drive you through the game. The original wraps up so nice and tight, even if the ending wasn’t the best game ending ever, that the thought of squeezing in another story into that world really worried fans of the original. The way 2K decided to spin a tale to continue the series is one of the biggest concerns people had about this sequel. Bioshock 2 assumes you know the story of the original Bioshock and spends no time filling in the details if you missed out. The continuation of the tale of Rapture and its’ many crazy inhabitants is the real draw of the package, and on a similar note I would say if you haven’t played the first one don’t skip straight to the sequel. ![]() The single player is the reason to buy Bioshock 2. Bearing the weight of how amazing the first game was and how not wanted the sequel quickly became, the team at 2K stepped up to the plate and delivered a great game that will continue our love affair with the underwater city of Rapture. The second Bioshock is the sequel nobody wanted but we got anyway because it made sense on some financial reports. ![]() The first Bioshock is now considered a modern classic, one of those games that took everyone by surprise with its’ amazing story and rich atmosphere. The return to Rapture is a surprisingly pleasant one.
