Bioshock 2

Following the success of the infamous Bioshock, which was named game of the year back in 2007, players are once again returning to the city of Rapture, and facing the horrors that face them in the blood filled halls of the underwater city. Full of stunning visual effects, graphic gameplay, and a unique story that is sure to capture the players hearts and put their minds to work, this highly anticipated sequel is a must have for the hardcore gamer in all of us.
Bioshock 2 follows the 1st ever Big Daddy, who wakes up after being in a coma like state for 10 years, to find his city torn apart from a bloody civil war, and the Little Sister he has become bonded to is no where to be found. Following the mysterious voices of the remaing inhabitants of the city, the prototype Big Daddy must journey across the enemy filled halls of the city of Rapture to unravel the mystery surrounding his separation from his Little Sister, and must stop a power mad cult leader who plans to use your Little Sister as a harbinger of death, for which this leader thinks of as a "rebirth"
The gameplay is in a word, beautiful. The ocean floor surrounding the city is breathtaking, and so realistic that one would think this city was a reality. The detail given to the enemies and surroundings is so precise and graphic, that its easy to see how players often jump when an enemy pops out of a corner or hiding spot that you would not have noticed on your 1st time around. The 1st person camera angles are consistent and keep its pace with the players actions, and the missions are challenging and lengthy, so that players will have plenty of time to enjoy the story. As if this wasn't enough, the developers added a multiplayer function to the game, and allows players to experience the famous Civil War that tore the city apart in the 1st place. Full of great maps familiar to the experience Bioshock player, and unique multiplayer missions like "Capture the Little Sister", instead of Capture the Flag, the multiplayer is fun filled and a great addition to the game.
Overall, I give this game a 10 out of 10, for the people at 2K did a wonderful job of keeping in tune with the original game, and told a fantastic story that was full of stunning visuals and edge of your seat action that allowed the player to enjoy the game all the way until the end credits.
