Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city of Rapture.

Players will need to use all the elements of the BioShock toolset to survive, as the full depth of the BioShock experience is refined and transformed into a unique multiplayer experience that can only be found in Rapture.

Very nice game that continues the first chapter, if you are a Bioshock fan you should buy it. Not fantastic like the first one but really improved mechanics and weapons. Even AI is better, great job!

Having enjoyed the first Bioshock game years ago, this sequel is familiar territory. Maybe a bit too familiar. However this perhaps what makes it a good game, it IS good old Bioshock with a few improvements thrown here and there with a whole new story to tell.
One aspect that sets it apart from most FPS games is that while it still follows a script like any other that has a plot, outcomes make the gameplay more rewarding as players are pulled into making choices and decisions between right and wrong. Somehow makes you think about the moral consequences at times.
On the technical side: it appears that certain new video cards might not agree with the game. I own an MSI R9 290 OC and it constantly kept crashing and required me to hard reset my PC. It was solved by disabling DX10 through Steam - don't let it stop you, the fix is very simple through a quick Google search.
A must have game!
