- Quotes
[last lines]
Eleanor Lamb: [player saves ALL little sisters]
[narrating as sun rises over a now clearing storm]
Eleanor Lamb: The Rapture dream is over, but in waking, I am reborn. This world is not ready for me, yet here I am. It would be so easy to misjudge them. You are my conscious father, and I need you to guide me. You'll always be with me now father, your memories, your drives, and when I need you, you'll be there on my shoulder, whispering. If utopia is not a place, but a people, then we must choose carefully, and in our story, Rapture was just the beginning.
- ConnectionsEdited into Bioshock: The Collection (2016)
Sound... 10 out of 10 Magnificent voice work and an eerie score highlight the incredible soundtrack, which more than makes up for the ho-hum graphics. Everything is tight, well-recorded and oozing with atmosphere.
Controls... 8 out of 10 Controls are are bit mixed for me, but are strong overall. It's hard to keep up with combat at times, and the button layout occasionally get frustrating. But solid controls.
Story... 5 out of 10 Much more generic than the first. You play as a Big Daddy searching for your Little Sister, Elenor. Taking place a few years after the original, the city of Rapture has fallen since Andrew Ryan's demise, and is now under the control of Lamb, an evil woman who has taken control to spread her ideals. It's a weaker plot, and feels like a let-down.
"Bioshock 2" is a much more generic, watered-down retread of the original game, which I consider a modern classic. It initially felt like a let-down, and it felt as though it lacked focus much of the time. Your goals and objectives feel less clear than in the first game.
However, upon subsequent playings, the game has grown on me, and I appreciate it a lot more in many ways.
I equate "Bishock 2" to a decent but unneeded movie sequel. It's fun to re-visit the world and the characters, and the familiarity with it all is a blast, but it's a more empty, pointless experience. I can safely say that "Bioshock 2" is a game strictly for uber-fans of the original.
As it stands, "Bioshock 2" gets a pretty good 7 out of 10. It's good for fans, but is nowhere near the genius of the original.
