I hated the first Bioshock, but I love this one. It's so much cooler being a big daddy, and the combat is a lot better. :)

I loved the first and just finished playing this one last night, i found the story not as compelling but that was to be expected. If you really liked the first one I'd definatley recommend it

It's true that this game isn't as good as the original. However, that's mostly because the first game was one of the best games I've ever had, and even thought Bioshock 2 is really good as it is, it pales next to its predecessor.

That's not to say you shouldn't buy it though, it's worth owning.

If you liked BioShock 1, you'll like this, new plot, new areas of rapture, same mechanics. Essentially it's a new game made from an older game.

I think people should stop asking for others opinions, as everyones differs. Everytime a new games comes out I always see stuff like this, its ridiculous.

Theres a few possible solutions though:
1 - Read reviews or look at gameplay videos to help see the good and bad points.
2 - Rent the damn thing.
3 - stfu asking stupid questions like this when games get high scores. Really, if you can't tell a game is good by an overall score of 88/100 then something is wrong with you.

i actually think its fine to ask for opinions about a game, on a GAMING website. its better than all of those rediculous off-topics forums that always seem to be "hot" examples would be "what the story behind you avatar?" or "whats you favourite FF character" etc etc.

Or you could JUST watch gameplay videos and make your own mind up instead of asking others to do so for you

And how the fuck are threads like these better than the "What bla bla bla bla" threads in the Off-Topic forums? These threads create no discussion, those "What bla bla bla bla" threads create no discussion. The logical conclusion you can draw from this is that both kinds of threads are equally bad.

It seems that I have to repeat this to infinity and beyond so I'll just say it one last time:

[HEADING=2]WATCH. GAMEPLAY. VIDEOS![/HEADING]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, watching gameplay videos is infinitely better than listening to opinions. What a shocker!

I rented the PS3 version. I agree with the others, it doesn't have that... 'spark' of its predecessor, but I suppose that comes with the territory in a sequel. If you like the first game you'll probably like this one, too; the alterations in gameplay are minor, such as a few new enemies, a load of new gene tonics, the hacking mechanic isn't as flow-breaking anymore, and you get to walk around the outside of Rapture for a bit.
Oh, and one of the highlights for me was a sequence towards the end where you take control of a Little Sister, shortly after which you'll be able to summon a Big Sister to aid you in combat. Very cool!

I agree. Entirely.

You know your tastes better than we ever could, so you and I would have completely different experiences. Your best bet is to go online and look up some opinions reviews.
Hell, even the user-reviews of Amazon are credible enough.

I'll leave you with this: If you didn't like the first - DO NOT buy this one.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: the single player is new and innovative and the multiplayer is something new and special and is definitely worth checking out.

I couldn't agree more.

oh yes i see now, with all that reasoning behind watching gameplay vids. thats bullshit little clips mostly ones made to sell the game wont help, i agree that the only way to truely know is to play the game, but the next best thing is to know what other people's thoughts on a game. Its better than showing eye pleasing short clips.

It doesn't matter who made the clip, it matters if it's showing gameplay. For e.g. here's a developer diary for Bioshock 2. A 9 min long gameplay video.

Isn't that exactly what he's doing?
