    8.5/10
    18 February 2010

    When a new franchise becomes an instant classic like Bioshock did, it can be hard for developers to come up with a successful sequel that stays fresh Read more

    • Improved A.I makes gun battles more intense, New enemies pose a formidable challenge, Multiplayer is a nice addition
    • Some ideas feel underdeveloped, Multiplayer lacks original game types

    Bioshock, one of the few game titles that can have me grinning like a Cheshire cat as I think back to the first time I set my eyes upon Rapture, Read more

    • Intense graphical quality, New multiplayer game, Good use of the Bioshock 1 story setting
    • Needs work on the multiplayer to balance out the playstyle, Story could be strengthened in parts, Lack of new abilities

    Andrew Ryan dreamt of a world where his fellow man could endlessly pursue self-happiness and self-fulfillment, so he chose the impossible--a city Read more

    • Expanded set of moral quandaries, Story expands upon the world of Rapture, Fantastically atmospheric and creepy, Improved combat mechanics, Fun and...
    • Less memorable story than BioShock, A bit too familiar for fans of its precursor.

    How do you solve a problem like Andrew Ryan? Even the original BioShock never managed it. Read more

    • Accomplished shooting, Consistently interesting story, Varied, exciting combat, Big ideas, neatly handled
    • Not as fresh this time round

    Conservative in places but still a class act, this won't disappoint Bioshock fans. Read more

    • Improved, dynamic gunplay, Big Sisters are great opponents
    • Rapture feels too familiar
