BioShock 2 Game Review


BioShock 2 is a FPS game developed and published by 2K Games on February 9, 2010.

So you play the Big Daddy in the underwater world try to save your daughter. You can use many different kinds of weapons and super abilities to fight the enemies in any way you want.

I haven’t play BioShock 1 yet but I will try to play it later, because BioShock 2 is so GOOD~ it is fun and exciting. The game play is so different than other normal FPS games and this two hands attacks work really well. Good graphics, normal AI, kind of confusing level design but still awesome. There is almost not thing bad about this game that I want to point out so here are some suggestions to the game.

1. I enjoy using those abilities. You can customize what abilities you want to use so you would get confuse or annoyed by switching among so many abilities. But you have to use the machine to customize them. This limits the amount of fun the players can have. If they can choose the abilities whenever they want, then they can truly enjoy the using of those abilities since there are not enough of slots for all abilities.

2. The player sometimes has to walk in the sea from level to level and that is kind of boring. But maybe the game designers can put some enemies in the sea or design a level where you can fight the enemies under water in low gravity. That will be fun. After all, the theme of the game is to fight in an underwater city. How about a fight that really happens in the water?!

3. When I finished the game, I was still unable to buy all the abilities. I have to collect Adam (some kind of blood?) to buy these abilities and I just can’t get enough of them. Like I said in Mass Effect 2 that I hate fighting for money (or Adam). I really wish that I can use and enjoy all of the abilities. Maybe the players should have the option to play the game again but with all of the abilities given.

4. I don’t like the boss fight. It is challenging but kind of frustrating. I wasn’t able to enjoy using all those abilities to fight the boss. I was just too busy to try to stay alive and keep freezing and shooting the Big Sister! And it is the boss for every level, that is boring, and in the final boss fight it is still the Big Sister, AGAIN!!! Except this time there are two of them.

5. The story…….is……strange. Maybe I should play the first one in order to understand it.

That is all! I love it! I enjoyed it, I had tons of fun and the game play is unique. But since the story ends up on the surface and the whole underwater city is blew up. I wonder if 2K can make a BioShock 3 or not. Play BioShock 2 if you haven’t cause I love it and I am going to try BioShock 1 since some people said it is better than the second one.
