About
The second game returns us to the city of Rapture, on the New Year’s Eve, but this time player takes control of Subject Delta, Big Daddy, that’s been separated from his little sister and has been forced to shoot himself 2 years before the events of the first game took place. And after his awakening 10 years later, players will help to save the last sane citizens of Rapture. As seen in the previous game, the player will have access to new weapons, unique to Big Daddies, power drill and a rivet gun, alongside an array of plasmids, Tonics, and guns. Now players will be able not only save Little Sisters from other Big Daddies, and then either harvest ADAM directly, or protect them while they collect ADAM for their new guardian. Bioshock introduces a new enemy type, Big Sisters, which are extremely agile and fast versions of Big Daddies. Newly added multiplayer brings several never seen formats to the series. Aside from expected Deathmatches, the game added story-driven mode Fall of Rapture.

BioShock 2 reviews and comments
«Bioshock 2» is a sequel that brings both new ideas and a return to the dark and atmospheric world of «Rapture». Unlike the first game, where you played as an ordinary person, «Bioshock 2» gives players the chance to control a «Big Daddy».
Playing as the «Big Daddy»:
You feel like a true force capable of standing up to mutants. Your arsenal includes a powerful drill, a variety of weapons, and plasmids that allow you to control your environment and use enemies to your advantage. However, despite your strength, you are still vulnerable to threats, which adds a strategic element to the gameplay.
The game has become more of a shooter:
«Bioshock 2» focuses much more on shooting and combat than the first game. The increased number of enemies and combat situations make the game more dynamic. This may not satisfy those who expected a greater emphasis on exploration and interactive storytelling.
More drama:
At the heart of the story are the relationships between the «Big Daddy» and his «Little Sister», which adds emotional weight to the game. Questions of moral choice and the impact of your actions on the world around you remain important aspects, as in the first game, but with the addition of personal drama for the character.
The first part is much better:
Despite all the new elements and improvements, «Bioshock 2» could not reach the level of the first game. The original «Bioshock» focused on exploration and an astonishing story, which made it a cult classic. The second part, although introducing interesting elements like playing as the «Big Daddy» and an improved combat system, feels more like a rail shooter.

A worthy successor to the original. While the story might not be for everyone (it is amazing!) the gameplay is undeniably more refined. Besides, any excuse to go back to Rapture one more time is more than worth it.

I played the first Bioshock (as well as many others here) and was thrilled with the depth and the ingenious atmosphere of the game.
The second part I also found very nice and entertaining, but not as captivating as the first part. As mentioned in the title, I find it a good expansion for the first part, nothing more. For the fans of Bioshock but a must!
P.S .: If I played the first part, really two times, because one could act there "good" and "evil". So I did not feel like going through this version again in order to finally be able to watch another end video. Perhaps because the two versions are technically and slightly different from the game options, and thus invite you to simply run through the levels, just to reach the big end. Because everything else has already been seen somewhere (mostly in the first part).

bioshock2 following the first big bioshock of the name happening 10 years after the events of the first se bioshock2 is a real scnaristics suite with a gameplay improve we find what made the strength of the 1st but with a lot of improvements the atmosphere still excellent bioshock2 can be a very good experience despite its short-lived faults, bugs of all kinds, no assertions in the scnrio, choice of weapons that resemble those of the first, but it will not spoil the pleasure of playing with the qualities it has .
For the multiplayer I installed GameRanger but I see that there is no one I do not know if it is a bug or no one go but in any case I do not see the server bioshock2 pity if someone wanted to know how it works should not put LAN parts unless you want to bet between you but they have to disable GameRanger strange.
