The Story Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster — somehow familiar, yet still quite different from anything ever seen — has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were once one of the forgotten little girls known as Little Sisters, known to inhabit the city's dank halls. No longer a pawn used to harvest ADAM, the dangerously powerful gene-altering lifeblood of Rapture, from the bodies of others and in turn run the risk of being harvested herself, the Big Sister is now the fastest and most powerful thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason has reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from the original BioShock, but also very different in that you possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten years. The question is, as you travel through the decrepit and beautiful fallen city beneath the waves, hunting for answers and the solution to your own survival, are you really the hunter, or the hunted? Gameplay and Multiplayer In BioShock 2 players will take on the role of the original Big Daddy, not that of game one protagonist, Jack. As a Big Daddy you will have access to all the strengths and weapons of a standard Big Daddy, including the drill and rivet gun. More importantly you also possess free will and the ability to use plasmids and gene tonics — genetic modifications allowed for through ADAM, a stem cell harvested from conquered enemies, or sea slugs outside the Rapture air lock, and powered by the in-game injectable serum known as EVE, which can be found, captured or purchased. Plasmids and gene tonics provide a wide range of aggressive and passive abilities which can be upgraded and arranged for quick use. The ability to use plasmids and tonics gives you a decided edge over other Big Daddies and most other denizens of Rapture, excluding the powerful Big Sisters. In addition, due to their role as a Big Daddy, players will experience a new relation to the Little Sisters. Upon defeating standard Big Daddys you are given the familiar choice as to whether to harvest or adopt them. Harvesting gains you ADAM immediately, but could alter your path through the game, while adopting makes you responsible for Little Sisters, who then accompany you through Rapture, but also provide aid and warning in times of danger. Additional gameplay features include: new plasmids, weapons and the ability to combine these two. The game also features the anticipated multiplayer modes. Several of these are team-based, allowing up to 10 players. Within these players are provided with a rich prequel experience that expands the origins of the BioShock fiction, and allows you to play as one of several characters pulled from Rapture's history before the events of the first game.

This game is very fun, a lot more fun than people say it is. People are saying that this game is just like the first game, and it's not worth buying. Well, even though that is not completely true, if you liked the first game, you would want to play more, so you should buy this.Now, that is not true, because the game play is a little different. This game continues from the original Bioshock, where you are a Big Daddy (and you have the drill and rivet gun). Throughout the game you kill other big daddies and steal their little sisters. Their little sisters will show you where to go to find adam filled corpses. Once you arrive at the corpses, they will draw the adam out, and Splicers will come running. It is your job to protect her by killing the Splicers. After she has drawn the adam from two different corpses, she will have to be sent through the vent (she can be rescued or harvested). You get the adam that she collected from the corpses. In this game, you have to watch out for Big Sisters, which are super fast robots that come after you whenever you send a Little Sister through the vent. Also, Brute Splicers are spread throughout Rapture. Brute Splicers are big Splicers that don't have guns, but instead, they throw large objects at you. You can buy little miniature turrets to setup (that only last for a few minutes), but can kill Splicers that come towards you and your Little Sister.There are a few other cool things in this game, like how you can remotely hack turrets and cameras from far away. There is also a dart that you can shoot at something to automatically hack it instantly for you. There are also plasmids available that can turn you into a ghost, and allow you to summon your own security bots whenever you want, and to BEFRIEND A SPLICER You can have a Splicer on your side!) for a few minutes. You can use plasmids and a gun at the same time, which is pretty cool.Hacking in this game is different. Whenever you hack, the game does not pause. Instead of rearranging parts of a pipe, you have to try to stop a needle in a green or blue zone several times. If you stop the needle in a blue zone, you get extra things, like free items from a vending machine, a free first aid kit, turrets can be stronger, and security cameras can have longer alarms. If you stop the needle in a green zone, you hack it successfully, in a red you set of an alarm, and in a white you get shocked.I personally like the maps better than the first game. They are easier to travel around in, and have cool little areas in them (Some maps are like little towns!). The game is barely shorter than the first, but you can't travel back to previous levels once you leave them (but you can keep a save of each level so you can go back to them whenever you want).As far as the Windows Live thing goes, you can easily create an offline profile so you don't have to have your internet connected each time you play (you don't even have to have a Windows Live account). To do this, click on "Create New Profile", scroll down to the bottom, and click on the "create a local profile" link. If you don't use an offline or online profile, you can't save your game!As far as the online activation and install limit, a lot of other games have this too, and it's not really much of a big deal.One disadvantage that really annoys me, is sometimes whenever I hit escape to save, it goes back to a menu that looks kind of like the main menu, but it's not the exact same (And all of my progress is lost!). So I always do a quick save before doing an official save in the escape menu. I also save frequently.You should check the computer requirements for this game before buying, because it requires more resources and power than the first (if your computer doesn't meet the requirements it will still let you play). If your computer doesn't meet the requirements, when the dialog box appears you can't move the mouse, so hit CTRL + ALT + DEL, launch the task manager, then use the tab and enter key to switch to the dialog box and pres enter on "Yes".So I would DEFINITELY recommend this game, especially for the affordable price that is being charged.I bought mine from "NYC Electronics" and it arrived in perfect condition (and factory sealed).
