At first, I really felt like a tourist. The city is amazingly beautiful and lifelike. I lost my self in the first couple of hours because I wanted to listen at every NPC's conversation and look at every corner. I think it's no exageration that I've spent 3 hours in the 1st segment which can easily be completed in 1 hour or less. On the flipside, technically it is really average looking. The NPC's look really bad and stiff compared to other games. Even Elizabeth doesn't look that great, although she is a really lovely woman you'll care about. The combat is still fun, but still not great. In the original Bioshock it was a lot of fun at first but became very repetitive towards the end. Same here, I can't see any evolution here. I also miss the crazy Splicers and stuff like that. Now you're fighting some random guys and the bigger opponents can't match the Big Daddies. Although I'm loving Columbia, I also kinda miss the dark physcopathic freak show Rapture was. So, overall it's still a great game but I can't really say if it's better than the original Bioshock, which is disappointing. Irrational Games are masters at creating an atmosphere that sucks you in but the combat still isn't great. It's a 8.5 out of 10 for me. PS: Bioshock = 8.5/10, Bioshock 2 = 8/10. |
On pair with the original? So a 9.5+ game for me.
