Overall Feeling:
A solid action title with a fun feeling to it, though the storying is no where near as compelling as the original. Aided in no small part by the addition of multiplayer to the game.
The Pros:
It is a beautiful looking game. The multiplayer is surprisingly fun and innovative. It is a lot of fun to play through, and the mechanics weren't ruined.
The Cons:
Disappointing follow up to the story from the original. Random difficulty changes through the game. No new plasmids.
The original Bioshock was a masterpiece of gaming work; it was one of those titles that helped to blur the lines between video games and art. It was a prime example of how something could be fun to play, and yet provide an engrossing story. When a game like that comes along and does well for itself, it enables itself the opportunity of a sequel. Unfortunately with that opportunity comes a high bench-mark to meet or, even more rarely, exceed.
