Bioshock 2 Review
Closing Comments
Fallen! Fallen is Babylon!
These are the words that greet you upon your return to Rapture. Taken from revelation 18:2 of the Bible, these words are the proclamation of doom:
“Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird”
Rapture is all that, with the last remnants of its sanity long lost. But the lasting impression that you will take from Bioshock 2 is that this dangerous, chaotic and action packed journey through the house of horrors is ultimately the quest of a father and daughter trying to find each other, and in that, to discover themselves.
What Clicked
- Improved weapons and gameplay mechanics
- Excellent balance between the creepiness of Rapture and action packed gameplay
- An excellent plot with a satisfying conclusion that maps the consequences of the player’s actions expertly
- Fun multiplayer
What Bombed
- Mediocre graphics with poor textures
- Characters not upto the caliber of those in the first game
- Seems too similar to the prequel in its initial hours before finally settling into its groove
- The mystique of Rapture is lost in the sequel
