I had doubts about this but now I will have to look into it with this PSM3 score.

I think it's out the 6th of Feb. With Dante's Inferno and Heavy Rain to follow in the same month (assuming the reviews are good), I'm kinda glad Splinter Cell got delayed a bit. Smile

Excellent! I did worry about the game as it was not oversaw by Ken Levine. Looks like I need not have worried after all. *thumbs up*

Yeah, Levine is outspoken, but he sure did a great job with the first one. I really hope these reviews are on the mark, I'd love for this game to live up to the writing and atmosphere of Bioshock.

The first was one of the best fps's I've played. For me, the main reason it was so good was that you were this ordinary guy thrown into an extraordinarily situation and then had to try and cope as best you could. That's why, I have to say I was a bit sceptical when I heard that you played as a big lumbering big daddy for number 2, I thought it would lose a certain something if you played as something so powerful knocking splicers around like they were rag dolls. Going by those scores, it looks like I was wrong. Very Happy

shame on all you knobs who doubted it was going to be as good as the first one and needed to see a review before feeling at ease. i've been a believer that it would be just as good if not better from the beginning, what with the guy who did the best level in the first one (fort frolic) heading the team making the sequel and all.

"It's still better written than pretty much anything else out there"?

That implies that the first game was well written, when actually it was an overblown load of nonsense with completely non-immersive storytelling mechanics Razz

I don't know if you're just flame baiting or not, but for me, i will get the 360 version, simply because the controller is far better for an FPS.

That sounds an awful lot like blind faith to me. Which is pretty much the behavior of fools.

That you believed it was going to be 'just as good if not better' purely based on the involvement of one guy who did one level in the first game makes you more of a k**b though.

Given Take 2's penchant for shipping their PC games with nasty DRM and limited activations (with or without a reclaiming tool), I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that history repeats itself once more. I have absolutely no reason to think "Bioshock 2" for the PC will be any different, and I will not reward Take 2 by buying either "Bioshock 1 or 2" for the Xbox 360. -1 sale on both counts.

Honestly man, lighten up and do yourself a favour, this looks like it's going to be a great game and if you're a true game fan you should enjoy this.

yup that is a fact just confirmed by you. I will better it though by saying I will get it on PC because a mouse makes controllers feels stupid regardless of which console it is for. I was really subtle wasnt I?

to all the guys saying why there were doubts; I was afraid because I wondered how exploration would work out as rapture was brand new in the 1st game and totally felt alien. Now we're just back in the same place albeit different areas and that could effect the whole feeling could it not? Playing as a prototype big daddy also sounds like crap and I will be skeptic on any remark abt the storytelling being better until I played it myself as the narrative in the 1st was just stellar.
