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.

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.

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.

My 2cents.

That just about sums up my take on it, though still a very nice 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..... http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/62772-so-i-bought-bioshock-2-special-edition-5.html#post575202.

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. Now those were "buggy" games

 

[ezeht]

no sygnus- not all games or software I own is buggy- just some I play most is- as far as operating systems go- w7 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-

Have a great day..

 

[ezeht]

Again- I said I got bioshock late and after all patches- It ran perfect for me- but yes I had read it was buggy when came out. As a fact I avoided it for that reason- but the game I bought ran perfect. Maybe I do not word things clear enough- But I said what I said..

As a fact I have installed bioshock in w7 runs fine for me or the lil I tested it- I have not tried bio2 in w7. I do know plenty of folks that have and have troubles with it. And no buggy crap- is not expected- other than in the pc world and them that make excuses for it. Not all of the pc world is buggy- so any that is is just wrong period. Maybe some could think some try and help such companies get over on folks.. Ha ha.. Or maybe some are trying to aid in the downfall of pc game's with suck port crap and or gfwl crap. Sorry I am not of that group- Forgive me for my honesty.

If it makes ya feel better I can post ya threads of my buds and can not play bioshock2 on steam- being I must just talk to hear my self talk or to complain or something.. Ha ha what ever.

Maybe now I will start having probs because I do not candy coat stuff. It is ok tho- If I am not welcome here folks just have to say so. They do not have to hint- be upfront and a man and say so- I am not a regular here- I will go away..

Take care- see ya..

 

[ezeht]

As a fact I can take a hint- I will solve my own prob before it really gets started- nip it in the bud per say. I will go away. In my world I can avoid bull and can be both happy or sad all by my self. My cup is just half full- not mostly full and all flowers and chocolates. I speak both good and bad- hate me for it- I do not care.

I guess next my poor grammar or spelling and walls of text will be next complaints- It is ok I am use to it. It is comical really.

Ha ha maybe some are in some alternate universe but bioshock2 is on up there with bug crap just like stalker games and fo3, But I have played bioskock and stalker games and fo3 1000x more than I will ever play bio2- Does it even matter no. I am me others are them- Good. But I will not tell folks to spend his money saying it is all sweet and good when it is not. I also said google is your friend- read for your self and from other places.

I had liked it here until a few minutes ago- I am man enough to say so too..

See ya.. ha ha what ever. I will survive..

I actually enjoyed it better than the first despite heavy reservations about it going in. I know a lot of people would disagree with me having hoisted the original up on a pedestal that may very well never be reached again.

It's worth checking out though.

 

[ezeht]

I just say what I think- I read a lot too. I am the same way with free stuff most of my games for the last 4 years was give to me and my last 3 computers too or most of it. I say what I think both good and bad and I am not politically correct. Some find it odd I can complain about free stuff.

I am always me up front and honest period.. No mind games or cowardly or trying to get over on folks with me. I am not sorry for it either. But if folks still want to be so kind to give me things later, well- they better know what I like or will use and can maybe give me gifts I would prefer- where others with the silly games, well they might always get the suck stuff and who's fault is that- Is it better to get junk you hate or nothing because you pissed someone off or might get better and admired for your brutal upfront honesty- My self I am and prefer the later.

Guess I do always have the options to sell off what I might not like or use- but even then a gift is a gift- If I give someone something I do not dictate its use or you have to like it or have to kiss my butt either- or get pissed and try to take it back- not with girl friends either like so many will. An engagement ring might be different- it was taken as a contract in word for marriage- if she changes her mind then maybe she should give the ring back.

See ya..

I too was one who hoisted Bioshock 1 up on a pedestal as I absolutely love the story, atmosphere, and environment. It's one of the best games I've ever played. From that, I expected much more than I got with Bioshock 2. It wasn't bad, it just didn't go anywhere near 1.

I do agree that 2 is worth checking out though.

I also am curious about this mystical 'gamer' creature.
It's quite odd I've been playing games since they came in text only format, and I've yet to meet one of these 'gamers'.
I'm quite certain at this point the species is extinct or perhaps never existed in the first place.
