BioShock 2 has reached the surface and I finally got a chance to check it out. This game has you in control of the a Prototype Big Daddy that expands upon the world of Rapture. Sofia Lamb is now in control of the underwater city, creating the Rapture family and teaching a new set of morals that Ryan was against. You were linked with one Little Sister named Eleanor which for one reason or another sit well with Sofia. Now 10 years later from that event, you are awake into the known Rapture that you have come to know and love. The game has expanded on its moral quandaries with improved combat mechanics. The game also has a great atmosphere and is really creepy. Lastly, there is a new multiplayer mode that is a prologue to the events that made Rapture erupt in a civil war between Atlas and Ryan. There were some problems though as the story was not as good as BioShock 1 and it all seems a bit too familiar for old fans of the series. Overall though, this a fun game and a great sequel. Granted it may be not as good as the original, it still expands into the Rapture universe and immerses you into the underwater world that you have come to enjoy. If you liked the first game, you should try out the second.
