We can’t blame 2K for not living up to the lofty narrative heights achieved with Bioshock, but where the game does surpass its predecessor is in the gameplay department. Players have seen Rapture before, and unlike in the first game where players were discovering a new world, Bioshock 2 simply revisits existing intellectual property. As great as the story is, it does not live up to the grandeur of its predecessor. Still, there is some complex, imaginative and emotionally engaging story telling going on in Bioshock 2.ĭespite a slight lack of storytelling direction, the combination of rich plot, unique and complex characters and outstanding atmosphere make the world of Rapture a memorable place to visit in Bioshock 2. While the story and locations have depth, it could all have been tied together and delivered more neatly. With a number of characters chiming in with regularity, directing you or sharing information, not to mention the dozens of audio clips scattered around rapture, things can become a bit muddled. The story stands head and shoulders above what most video games deliver, although the narrative can be confusing at times. The intro film sequence is shrouded in mystery, but things soon become fairly clear as players journey through Rapture on an instinctive quest that is ingrained in the Big Daddy’s blood. The plot is completely removed from that of the original, and the game takes place 10 years after the events of Bioshock. Players step back into rapture, but this time, instead of being a lost civilian discovering a secret underwater dystopia in the middle of the ocean, they play one of Rapture’s most memorable citizens a big daddy.

An engrossing and thought provoking back story along with memorable characters and a retro film noir feel made sure it stood out against the hundreds of other FPSs that were vying for gamers’ attentions.Īlthough the first game’s creative mastermind Ken Levine was not present for the sequel, all 2K had to do to succeed was build on the concept of the first game, and that they have done with aplomb. Released in 2007, it was widely praised for its rich atmosphere and unique setting.
