HellBored: BioShock 2 Review

HB writes: "To save myself from rehashing at length the various perspectives of a BioShock sequel, let me try and cram it into a few words. Was BioShock a game that needed a sequel, or was it a release that should have been left alone for those of us to have experienced it to think fondly on that part of our gaming history, to recall the glistening walls of Rapture and the overtone of a slightly-mad Andrew Ryan? You'll find a strong case for both camps, but it's irrelevant. What we do have is a competent second story, offering tighter combat and a slew of small improvements, but ultimately returning to Rapture doesn't awe like it did the first time, and the solid but uninspired multiplayer doesn't add much appeal in the long run." 7.8/10
