Bioshock 2 (Xbox 360 Version) *Single Player*
Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Created and Published by 2KGames
Overview
Bioshock 2 takes place ten years after the events of the first Bioshock. Rapture is now ran by Sophia Lamb. It tells the story of the first Big Daddy Delta and his quest to find his Little Sister he bounded with Eleanor.
Gameplay
If you've played the first Bioshock then the game plays exactly like it only this time you take control of Delta; the first Big Daddy. Play as Delta you move kind of slow but that improves over the game. The only real new addition as opposed to the other game is that you get a Drill as a weapon. It's the most powerful melee weapon in the game but you'll find yourself relying on other guns in the game. The research feature of the first game has been reworked by giving the camera sort of a video camera feature and the more creatively you dispose of your research subjects the more points you get. Each research has four tiers called tracks in the game and each one grants you a bonus; the final bonus being a tonic. The controls are pretty much the same from the first game so again if you played it you should be able to jump right into it.
Gameplay gets an 8.5 out 10
Graphics
The Bioshock series has always been a great looking one and Bioshock 2 is no acceptation to the rule. The underwater city of rapture is beautifully rendered and looks spectacular. Even better than the first game. The only issue I have is some of the character models near the end of the game are severely bland. Also since this game uses the Unreal Engine (version 3) then it suffers from textures taking awhile to load. Not that big of a deal but still rather annoying.
Graphics get a 9.5 out 10
Sound
Recently I picked up a set of Turtle Beach X41 7.1 Surround Sound headphones and playing my games has never been better. It's simple amazing in Surround Sound. From water dripping on your helmet, to it splashing in the background as you walk away. The boom of guns going off all over the place and of course Splicers running away from you, all excellent sounding.

All other game developers should take note of 2K because not only did they deliver an amazing well crafted story but they also throw in Multiplayer which sadly I haven't gotten to try yet. I will after a while but yeah the game gives you plenty of content to choose from.
