Well I am going to handle this game the same way I handled Bioshock 1:
wait a year, grab it for 10 bucks and maybe later on decide if it was worth it.
BTW: How about a NEW SETTING dear developpers.
Now that the deep sea and space stations have been thoroughly abused in ego-shooters, why not something new?
For example a station deep in the earth's crust or even inside of an volcano/the earths core.
Not only would that be innovative, but also deliver a great excuse for not having any "Outside" passages because you would get crushed as flat as a pancake and grilled to perfection within microseconds upon gleefully stepping outside.
On another note, the moral choice system sucked.
How about having the option too eat mother theresa and save the baby's dog?

I wouldn't say the retconned the Big Daddy's ability to use plasmids, since the actual Big Daddies can't use plasmids. The whole reason you can is because you were an experiment. An experiment that ultimately proved to be not worth it due to the side effects, but an experiment none the less...thekg said:
Some of you guys are right. They really do need to make a prequel to this game. Picture this: you're a guy who didn't indulge in gene splicing because of your religious views that you managed to hide from everyone. After watching the people transform into the hideous splicers and having to kill your newly transformed wife in order to save your young daughter, you then have to try and fight your out of the city and flee to the surface using only guns and other weapons. You can only use plasmids late in the game after you are at your wits end and can find no other way to save your daughter. However, just as you reach a bathysphere you are fatally wounded and your daughter is taken away to be turned into a Little Sister. But before you die, you manage to put a small cross necklace and a picture of your family in happier times into your daughter's pocket, which she holds onto. Your daughter then becomes one of the Little Sisters rescued by Jack a year later. She then hangs up the picture on the wall of her new home and gives the cross to her child to wear always.
I think it would be nice to see Rapture before and during the time it starts to fall apart. It would also be nice to have a protagonist that has some actual dialogue and some restraint. Let me know what you think of this idea.

This really just returns me to the analytical standpoint of "should I judge a sequel on it's ability to transcribe new features into an established franchise, or by it's own merits".
Personally I really enjoyed Bioshock 2, although it's very existence seems a little arbitrary when you compare it to the conclusion of the last game.

The thing that for the life of me i cant figure out is how you change away from your drill. I thought those things were attached to your hand or something. I then came to the conclusion that you have 3 arms, one for plasmids one for the drill and one for the weapons. Because the big daddy is so thick though he cant multitask with all 3 at the same time. The other was eating through the giant helmet, but he talked about that.
I just finished Bioshock, and am still considering getting 2, but haven't got much time... I actually loved the big daddy part in bioshock!! Anyways, can't wait for Bioshock 3, those clown vending machines scared the s*** out of me sometimes! Love your reviews yahtzee, keep it up!
Yeah, I didnt really give a damn about the sequel either way. It sounds samey and uninspired. I had enough Bioshock the first go around. Played it once to see the story and then shelved it permanently. Not buying/illegally downloading Bioshock 2. Don't care. : )M4rsch said:
You know, this could be the most immersive ZP review ever.
Seriously, I was watching and while Yahtzee was going on about Bioshock expanding upon the first, I started to get excited. Wait a minute, "This isn't just a tacked on joke to captitalize on fans of the first? Maybe I should forget all my misgivings and check it out rather then just replaying the first".
Oh wait, nope, never mind. As much as I'm always somewhat vindicated to be right all along, it was nice for a moment to think the game wasn't a waste of my time.
So, going back to my previous stance of, "I'll wait until it's on bargain bin, if not skip entirely."

I would like to play as a turret in Half Life 2. That would've been a better game than most of what comes out these days.
Really.
Really.
