Forums - Gaming - I want to buy Bioshock 2, should I buy the first too?

The first one is obviously the better one, but that's mostly due to the uniqueness and the great story.
Bioshock 2 is gameplay-wise on par or even slightly ahead, but the story isn't told as well and the atmosphere is VERY similar to the first one.

The second one is still very enjoyable.

Well I've just ordered Bioshock 2, it won't be dispatched until Monday (Obviously) and will take 3-5 days, so hopefully it'll be here on the Friday (That's 4 days...), I won't order the first game until I'm close to starting this one, since I'll probably be able to get it cheaper, the cheapest place I can get a brand new copy is Play.com for £14.00, I reckon it'll be under a tenner sometime next year, lol.


I think you can get for £5 Pre-Owned.

Bioshock 1 is, in everywhere, much more expensive than the 2.

Although I hated the B2, i'm still interested in B1.



Everyone has already pretty much nailed it: Bioshock 1 is much, much better. That's not to say that the second one is bad; it's an ok game. But it's a classic case of a sequel made just to cash in on the name of a successful (and truly exceptional) predecessor. It's not even the same team that makes it. Bioshock 1 is definitely my favorite game this gen. The imagination and story-telling have no equal, IMHO.

You owe it to yourself to play Bioshock 1 first. Definitely.



Would you kindly buy the first one too!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
