About the Game

Ten years have passed since the events in BioShock . The underwater-city Rapture has further deteriorated, with water breaking in everywhere and whole sections flooded by water. But as bad as the situation is, the city still isn’t empty. After Andrew Ryan’s death, his long adversary, the psychiatrist Dr.

Gameplay & Core Systems

The switch of perspective, in the first game the player was a normal human, also brings with it a few changes in gameplay. The most important being, that the player can now use both one of the eleven available plasmids and one of the several different weapons at the same time, allowing him to burn enemies while pumping them full of bullets. Other plasmids include “Winter Blast” which freezes an enemy or “Scout” which allows the player to leave his body and look around unnoticed. The weapons on the hand range from the famous Big-Daddy-Drill over a powerful double-barrel-shotgun to a grenade launcher. As in the first game, both weapons and plasmids are upgradeable.

Standout Features

  • A successful hack on the other will lower the prices at vending machines or turn turrets over to the player’s side.

Modes & Ways to Play

BioShock 2 features multiplayer for up to 10 players which was developed independently from the single player by a different developer and tells the story before the first game. The available multiplayer-mode include Deathmatch, Team-Deathmatch, Capture and Hold, Capture the Sister and Adam Grab. Each mode also features the possibility of one player slipping into the role of a Big Daddy.

Presentation & Atmosphere

Setting down a Little Sister to harvest a body will unleash hell as every splicer in the level will try to kill her, requiring the player to protect the little girl from harm until its finished collecting. If he doesn’t hit the right field, he either gets a electro-shock or will sound the alarm.
