End of review. I beg to differ, i hav'nt got the game but i am definetly an enthusiastic gamer.
To the OP, it is supposed to be a very good game apart from there is no Xbox 360 Contoller support.

I have to say i am a big fan of this series, I defiantly its worth playing, though the experience would be a lot better if you have played Bioshock, i assume you have? For me the first game was that good, i couldn't help myself but to get the second as soon as it was released. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional x64 Backtrack 4 R2 CPU Intel Core i5-650 Motherboard Gigabyte P55-UD3 Memory 4 GB Geil PC3 12800 Graphics Card HIS HD 4870 X2 Sound Card Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Monitor(s) Displays BenQ 22" G2220HD Keyboard Microsoft SideWinder X6 Mouse Razer Abyssus PSU Antec High Current Gamer 620W Power Supply Case Thermaltake Armor+ MX Hard Drives Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB

End of review. Translating:
It's a great game, with great graphics and unique story, with a creepy/weary atmosphere that keeps you engaged. The action is engaging and the perks available offer you the possibility to tailor your character the way you like to play FPS games. The weapons are also uniquely designed.
Also, if you played Bioshock, in the second game of the franchise you play as a Big Daddy, the biggest enemies of the main character in Bioshock, allowing you to see the world of Bioshock through the window of the submerging suite of these buffed creatures. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8400 Motherboard Asus P5KPL/1600 Memory 4GB Graphics Card Gigabyte Radeon HD5770 Ultra Durable 1GB DDR5 Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays LCD BenQ G2020HD 20" Screen Resolution 1600x900 PSU Spire 420W Hard Drives Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB IDE 16MB - 7200 rpm |

I liked it, and really did enjoy it. But ...
If you compare it to the 1st game it doesnt hold up. The first was the better game IMHO.
Some changes were for the better. Like hacking for example, I like better in 2.
But the story and gameplay just seems lacking something. Maybe just me though.
Overall, Yes it is worth playing especially if liked Bioshock. Its just not as good as the 1st one, but still a good game.

I got bioshock late and had all patches and then got the steam version it ran perfect for me. Bio2 retail is of the most buggy games I own it has both sound and vid probs and 2k does not care- they only care to milk folks with dlc's and ruined mp and split the community.
Both sp and mp is buggy. If buying cheap for say 20 bucks it is worth that and worth having, other than that it was is a let down. Any that say other or it is the best the gods ever made take it with a grain of salt, research and read threads about bio2- google is your friend.
As for graphics some say the new is a lil better maybe so- but bio2 is far more buggy than bioshock and not as good a game either in my opinion. I paid full price for it and feel very stupid for it- had I spent 20 bucks or less -well I would have felt better about it..
2k has made promises and pulled them then back again and pulled them again and never patched the the stupid game either- It was a waste of my time. Some are using stat cheat generators in the game too- so just playing mp to try and get best stats is a waste of time 2- granted some had the game months before I got it and have better stats- some are cheated too- it is just the facts.
Them with dlc's have an advantage in mp and and can not play the the added maps unless playing private- they will not rotate into the normal lobby pick up games if not all in the lobby have the dlc with the added maps- so many spent his extra money and can not play the extra maps.
Also I have friends right now with the bio2 on steam and can not have not been able to play his game yet- what over a year now or since the game came out- steam and 2k and gfwl all blame each other- while my buds spent his cash and can not play his steam version- it is just the facts. I would ask for a refund if it was me and not buy the next bioshock either.. As a fact these same friends have 1 and 200 games on steam and the only games they have probs with are gfwl games. I do not like gfwl at all..
It is odd tho- I have steam games with gfwl and have no probs- but I ignore gfwl and do not use or install it or try and put in its code either. My steam fo3 goty works fine for me other than naturally glitchy beth stuff..
I played bioshock some 15x I played bio2 1x and played mp some 15 hours a day for like 3 weeks- bio2 mp could have been really great if made by another company.. They half assed it's sp game too- what can I say..
I prefered hacking in original more than 2 but that is lil stuff. Bio2 is glitchy far more so than bioshock. If buying cheap get it- least you can say you have it- and might like it too..
Bioshock was is a pc game and maybe later ported- bio2 is a port from the start- so go figure..

I kind of have mixed views..... So I bought Bioshock 2 - Special Edition…..
I loved Bioshock 1, heck I'm ready to play again, but Bioshock 2 left me wondering.....
@ exeht - Is there a piece of software that's not buggy? Every time you mention or post about a game or software buggy is in the sentence.
Bioshock had it's issues, buggy wasn't one of them - not when you compare it to games like Fallout New Vegas and STALKER.

no sygnus- not all games or software I own is buggy- just some I play most is- as far as operating systems go- Windows 7 can not wipe xp's butt- Others can think what they like- that is why the gods made them them and me me. Everyone has opinions- Why are some better than others- pc maybe- other reasons?
I speak my mind and the facts- I candy coat nothing and I am not pc- maybe that is what separates me from others-
