Those who have not played the original Bioshock should indulge themselves before picking up the predecessor, you’ll miss a lot of background.įair Warning: PC gamers should note that Bioshock 2 uses SecuROM and Games for Windows Live.Note: This procedure involves editing a game file create a backup copy of the files before proceeding. Whatever comes next could benefit from improved multiplayer, other than that, playing a Big Daddy was an awesome change of pace. Overall: 2K impresses once again with Bioshock 2. It’s nothing earth-shattering, but mindlessly blasting other players with your plasmids and shotguns is unnervingly entertaining. Multiplayer has its own little storyline to it, and of course has several modes of play. The Xbox version doesn’t have any problems with multiplayer, and it truly lets you appreciate what 2K Marin did with it. The PC version had some hiccups to start with, though impending patches are planned to fix existing lag problems. Long Term: With the added multiplayer there is additional incentive to play the game after you have beaten it. Bioshock 2 can be played in short jaunts or long hauls, just have your gear ready. The storyline does require some time and patience. Rapture is huge, enabling particularly adventurous gamers an option to explore and find recordings, kill some big daddies, and protect little sisters.
There are no pesky save points, so that means starting and stopping when your time permits. Short Term: The game is perfect for casual gamers.
They more than make up for the graphic improvements that never came. For veterans of Rapture, you’ll notice new plasmids, weapons, and enemies to fight. Granted, this was reviewed on the Xbox 360 version. Both Bioshocks are close enough in visual quality where it won’t be something you drool over or frown upon. Graphically, I could not tell the slightest change. I strongly suggest exploring every corner of the level before you depart. There are a lot of hidden recordings laying around, often filling you in on the happenings in Rapture, but there is no way of going back to hunt them down. If you follow the objective indicator the whole time it is likely you will pass up intriguing side quests and additional story background. Those eager to beat Bioshock 2 early might miss out on hidden combat or easter eggs, and there is no “I’ll do it later” – unless of course, you mean next game. I was disappointed to find that once you beat the game there is no going back.
You are prone to attack at any point of interaction between you and a little sister. You are never truly alone in Rapture though, and will find out quickly that the gaze of a Big Sister is upon you. You gain more ADAM from harvesting her, but if you rescue her it may be more beneficial in the long run. After the sister is done harvesting you are given the option to harvest her or rescue her. The little sisters can harvest ADAM for you, the chemical the ‘bad guys’ are addicted to, but the catch is that you need to protect them from splicers while harvesting. You can still obtain little sisters after you defeat a big daddy, except you may adopt them as your own and use them to your advantage. She doesn't like taddle-tales.īuilding on their mistakes from Bioshock, 2K has improved and added many gameplay elements. Delta’s main goal is to find his “little sister” Eleanor, but it will not be so easy, Rapture has changed a lot in 10 years.Ī Big Sister. After being dead for 10 years, Delta has been resurrected via a Vita-Chamber. They walked around guarding the little sisters from the “drug addicted” splicers. In Bioshock I always wanted to play as a Big Daddy. A splicer takes candy from a little sister.
