Money well spent

OK, Ive seen reviews for-and-against. My 2c, I really liked this game. The visuals were stunning, the plot line was well thought out, and I think the ending was much better than the original BioShock. I think they could have explored the zip-lines a little more, but otherwise there were plenty of "side" attractions to keep the game interesting for a second play-through.

If theres any one negative about this series its that you dont really want to play it a dozen times - the "newness" of the story is as much of the experience as actually playing it. I didnt try the 1999 mode but once I got good at the combat, battle scenes got a little repetitive. They did do a much better job at keeping you from falling back to the old "duck-and-cover" technique that almost all these games let you do - easy wins, but boring. Enemies are much more aggressive about coming to find you so you cant just rest and catch your breath, for example. But still, if you go into BioShock looking purely for combat itself, youre in the wrong game.

So this ones a keeper. I might not play it every month, but Ill definitely dust it off once every year or so like I do with the original BioShock. Good times!
