  • There was something about the first that was better, BIOSHOCK 2 was good, but no where near as the first.

  • This douchebags have no idea what the fuck they are talking about...they can't appreciate real games with real story.I'm sure they like Crysis....(no story, only graphics).Fuck this. :)

  • @endre1989 well put...it's probably scripted.

  • Best game ever

  • this game had great combat and great stiory line i just think that when another awesome game like bioshock 1 comes before a game like this its very hard to live up to and the people that have reviewed this game and gave it a crappy rateing cant lowwer their knit picky defences and say that bioshock 2 was a great game.

  • I preferred the 2nd one myself as i felt it had a more balanced combat style , while the 1st one was a little slower ( again this is my opinion ) . I loved the drill and when you gained to charge ability it became holy shit awesome. The game also had better dynamic range in the sound and ran a little smoother than the first one. ( again my opinion ) but ign can be way off sometimes and they shouldnt have people who didnt care for the first game review or give a opinion about the 2nd.

  • @toology86 I really liked the furthering insight into Andrew Ryan's thoughts in the audio diaries in BS 2. Showing how over time...his dream becomes a nightmare to him. And how "annoyed" he is with the things that his "perfect" vision of a city has created. From the startling spectacle of the Big Daddy's and Little Sisters to the painfully goofy abomination of his propaganda amusement park.

  • Who picked the red shirt to go on the show?? if he didnt like the first one why is he on a show abou tthe seconed one? and who are these people...lip rings earings..i mean what the hell are these people at least TRYING to look good for females. i mean man. and i love the multiplayer im about to be reborn in it (prestige) its relazing its not full of quickscopers or rusher or an GB..tryhard people who say ur bad type thing. these people need to enjoy the simplicity of it

  • lol if they did a review on cod mw2 they would say its perfect.. wow fucking over rated games

  • I WANT BIOSHOCK 3!!!!!!!

  • i only recently played bioshock 1 and i dont feel like playing bioshock 2 because some of the big new ideas in that game arent new at all. (spoilers) at the end of 1, you do play as a big daddy, and you have to protect a little sister.... and it was annoying. im sure they made it better in 2. but still.

  • William Shatner said it best in 'Has Been"

    Riding on their armchairs

    They dream of wealth and fame

    Fear is their companion

    Nintendo is their game

    Never done jack and two thumbs down

    And sidekick don't say di**

    We'll laugh at others failures

    Though they have not done sh**

    This is why we are losing wonderful and complex storylines for action action action. Because all the time and effort we put into a nice story and intriguing cutscenes and deep thinking is mocked because it's boring :(

  • I respect IGN but sometimes they just got abit over board when it comes to the negative comments... If you try to find something to critisise your probably gonna find it!

  • Mark can sut my fucking dick!

    damn i hate that guy..

  • @vTRIXv

    "Mark can sut my fucking dick!"

    LOLWUT?

  • Everyone is entilted to their own opinions, I personally love Bioshock 1 and 2 and honestly I can't say which I like best, but I know some people don't like them and that's fine, and I can see some points in what the 1st guy and 3rd guy are saying but the dickhead in the middle in the red is just a douchebag, all he does is diss the game without acknowledging what it does right, he needs to pull his head out of his ass before he goes and tries to review a good game.

  • Yea i also wished they did more with the single player. I also wished that the game allows you to like play the single player mode again with all your upgrades and shit just to so you can have less responsibility and explore Rapture a bit more. When the game came out without these components that i just typed i was VERY disappointed but overall i really enjoyed the game so yea 9 out of 10 all the way.

  • Bioshock 2 had it's own unique feel to it, just like the original did. BS1 had a darker story(which I liked) and BS2 had a more emotional story too it.(which I also liked) too bad the reviewers can't see that.

  • Excelent game!! One of my favorites.

    Today i downloaded from Directdownloadgame . com

    Wow - amazingggg graphicsss!! ll blow your mind.

  • i agree but c mon ur gonna diss multiplayer multiplayer is the shit man

  • bioshock 2 multiplayer bad ass!!!!!!!!!

  • Typical nerd boys who knit pick everything and aspire to look for negativity when a game is great, especially the bitch in the red shirt, what a elitist prick.

  • I would probably give the game a 9 out of 10. Being a huge fan of the first Bioshock, I greatly enjoyed playing Bioshock 2. I just felt though that many parts of the game play lacked real luster. They should have ditched the multiplayer and gone with purely campaign. I only played the multiplayer in order to get the achievements. Also, where the hell did the U-Invents go? I kept on waiting for them to pop up but they never were put into the game. Any reason why?

  • totally rad its often played a lot during the break with my mum and dad they are totally awesome at it. utterly free for my ps3 from here - 115 games {.} com there are literally hundreds and the best thing is they are all free too I have to say 1:31 was cool

  • God who shoved dildo up their asses? This review was so unfair in many ways, for one they kept comparing everything to the first game, they just kept nitpicking about everything. The thing that annoyed me most was that they kept saying how Rapture was old and boring, but Rapture is almost completly different then the first game, they obviously rushed through the game without once ever deciding to admire the talent that went in to building the levels, not to mention you get brand new locations.

  • i liked the story of bioshock 1 so much more than the story of BS2. That's not saying the the story of BS2 is bad but the first blows it away. I think BS1 was more about story, and BS2, even though its geared more towards story than most new games coming out now are, its gameplay is amazing and what kept me coming back. both are great games

  • People are being Jackasses about this game everything in it is new except graphics

  • I find it funny how they only think about how much different it is from the first one and since its not alike they put it down,they didn't beryl gave much thought on the story and the meaning of it,instead the compared it to other games like MW and Halo,games like that with kinda bad story lines yet they only look at their online play,like the talk on the multiplayer,just cause it ain't like MW or Halo does not mean you gotta be so negative about it,all games have their different styles.

  • i liked the second one since the story to me, was better than the first one, because in this story you have something to protect and seek rather than the first game, you had to find what's going on. it's my opinion to the bioshock games, so don't get pissed at me.

  • i have to say games without online make a much better story this is where they ruined it the online is good but honestly

    i finnished the story in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the guy in the red was really pissing me off how he is one of the 3 reviewers and played it without caring about the story

  • Huge fan of Bioshock 1. Just got done playing Bioshock 2 and the gameplay was great, was alot of fun. Gotta say though, I'm a little dissapointed in the overall story. Didn't quite have the atmosphere the first one did either.

  • I have played Bioshock 2 twice now & have been enjoying the game a lot.. However playing it second time round? was not as in enjoyable as i was hoping for. It is very disappointed that games today fail to offer us the fans! some sort of reward for finishing the game first time. Come on, sort it ourt & reward us the fans! with a better upgrade if we play it second time round or third time round ! PLEASE!

  • hahahah! anyone else notice all there legs crossed lol...i just kinda thouught that was funny

  • yeah thats funny!

  • Don't like it don't watch it, hopeless little shit

  • ive trying to not offence geek like you but ... but ..ya just call me of hopeless little shit in my face in real life lol

  • Oh man, your words hurt me, I'm scared... not. Learn some grammar big guy then type to me again. Peace faggot

  • dont you ever shut up i just gave my opinion i could just have said THIS GAME FUCKING SUCK I RENT IT AND I COULDNT WAIT UNTIL IT WAS OVER I WANTED TO SHOOT MYSELF A BULLET IN THE HEAD I FEEL LIKE I JUST WASTED 6 $ even if its not a lot 6 $ for such a bad game is a freaking big waste but i didnt i tryed to see the other side of the game that some retarded like you might like

  • Wow sorry for breaking a nerve big man! no wonder for that awful grammar, anger never lets you behave rationally

  • maybe ur breaking ur breaking a big nerve because you are insulting my awful grammar but english is not my main language id like to see you doing it

  • Don't worry, english is not my main language, but at least I know how to write it and say it properly unlike others

  • well my sentence make sense but im on fucking internet and you seem to be the only asshole around here that worry about how people type over internet -.- now plz dont reply i will block you

  • For your information brat, blocking would just stop me from sending you a message but not from replying god at least learn the handling of youtube.

  • lol if ur saying that curb ur humor is gay then yur beyond gay. Your just fucking up royal. If you dont like bioshock then keep it to urself seeing how a lot of ppl here actually like it. plus ur calling us geeks? dude try geting a real dick and a grammar book before babbling like a fucking jap with a gay ass accent.

  • lol your a fag i didnt enjoy the game that much but ur really gay go back to english class and learn to find the bright side of things. Hell you are nothing but whte trash and an ape compared to stupid whtie trash american. Yor sub human and you have no life i feel like shooting myslef in the head cause i feel like im talking to the wall. Fucking fag get a life u tard.

  • Good to see someone agree with me. It was just a bin there done that.

  • My review , im going to admit it right now it is really not my kind of game the gameplay itself is okay but for a game that allow you to burn ur ennemy freeze them ,,throw them a swarm of bees...i mean it could have been much better during all the game you are in a shity ambiance where everything is broken water everywhere on the floor...i mean personaly i hate it but 8.5/10 because i know some ppl might enjoy it alot

  • well bioshock 2 didnt rlly have a story line i was hoping like jack would be in it and bioshock 2 story line didnt make much sence didnt rlly fit into bs1 but still 7/10

  • bioshock 1 is more exciting but like the guy says when you get to the end its just too much and its too short but you dont get bored so much with bioshock 2

  • Why cant they just rate this game as a standolone game and not a sequel? seriously ive never seen a sequel that has been better than the first. That is due to the fact that ITS HARD TO MAKE AN ORIGNAL GAME THAT IS A SEQUEL. Although i have seen some game developers due so such as bioware with mass effect

  • @anth0ny515 that true i think because either the first game have a lot of glitches or didn't have a good rating but in this case the first one didn't how can a sequel win the game awards.

  • If a review rate a game as a sequel the review should probably be fired imo...

  • these guys are kinda right. i mean, in the first bioshock they focused on being creepy while in the second one they focused more on a sense of danger. they're just upset cause they're not into seeing a more dangerous side of rapture or in any case more of it. unfortunately most gamers feel like they need completely new content to be satisfied.

  • LONG LIVE REBEL FM.

  • CHUFF!!!!!!

  • @paragonparadox Gotta love me some Chuff Money.

  • for people who never played the first bioshock ( like me) bioshock 2 is immense

  • wtf u havnt played bioshock 1 noob

  • i havent played 1 either...maybe i should pick it up

  • yeah ya should

  • So if you haven't played Bio1 your a noob... Get outside and get some fresh air!

  • BioShock 2 Second Opinions = sucking 2k dick for more ad revenue.

  • I got to say, the first one was better cuz it was scary but the 2nd one was not even scary at all but it's still a very good game

  • oh this show or that guy who is in the middle does not have any real opinion

  • i cant not believe that IGN actually did show this oen to people.

  • i HATED Bioshock 1.

    Bioshock 2 is freaking fun though.

  • god these guys are so miserable

  • i like this one WAY better than the first better weapons and cooler options! :)!

  • i fukin love bioshock 2 fuk all y'all :D

  • i like how all of their legs are crossed...lol except the one dude by himself

  • everybody but the host and the middle guy was fuckin weird

  • This game does deserve a 9, especially if a game that is broken and a 5 hour SinglePlayer story campaign, yet it gets a 9.5. Do a second opinion on MW2 with people who actually talk about it in an unbiased way

  • Unfortunatly any slightly credable reviewer has probably had the pockets lined with green stuff from IW

  • I find it more enjoyable than halo 3

  • bioshock 2 was developed by a diffrent team

  • Why NOT CLEAR EVRYTHING UP in the FIRST OPINIONS, huh? Another Take...

  • WTH IGN and YouTube STOP REMOVING MY COMMENTS!

    Looks like dumbasses are giving their second opinions, NO JUSTIFICATIONS in WHAT THEY SAY. IGN please stop BREEZING OVER YOUR OPINIONS.

    If you are being so picky, should I say your DAILY FIX has gained more popularity for JESSICA CHOBOT's BODY,

    come on don't waste 4 min 51 seconds waste of talk without any justifications, AND/OR don't talk as only your opinions hold true forcefully, in uni direction!

  • @patilnikh you sound like you get angry when someone has a different opinion than you. Calm down there are doing this because only 1 of IGNs editors write the review so they are just getting other peoples thoughts of the game

  • they removed mine too

  • Everyone seems to be so critical about these games. I really enjoy Bioshock 2 (more than the original) and think Rapture is so intriguing. I think there is more re-playability on the second game and wouldn't mind seeing the third Bio take place in Rapture once more!

  • Not as good as the first one, but still a good game.

  • If it ain't broke don't fix it.

  • Bioshock2 feels more like Bioshock1.5, its essentially the same game but with a lame multiplayer mode.

  • bioshock 1 was a really bad game in my opinion, i dont see how this will be any better

  • @Dzdosv42 First game was the best game i've ever played.

    it was like a movie

  • after i killed andrew ryan, i just stopeed playing, becuase from then it, IT WAS SO BOARING!! Then i just stopped playing, because i completly lost inrest. The only reason i got it was becuase it got like, 9.6/10 from so many game site, and when i played bioshock, it was a HUGE disspoiment

  • ditto

  • really? I was bored the whole way through...

    I'm not saying it's a bad game, I just don't understand the appeal.

  • @Dzdosv42

    mmk? dont just say this game sucked if you clicked on the video. Why did you even look at it if you thought it was bad?

  • though that the sequel would be better in some ways, mabey not as boaring

  • Multiplayer=Shit. Campaign=worth 60 bucks

  • just like any game or movie ,except for the cod series, the first is always better than the sequel.

  • @fastmuffins: I think you're wrong: Uncharted 2, Jak 2: Renegade, Ratchet & Clank 3, Aliens, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. All Titles better than their precursors... (The last one may be shit but have you seen Fantastic Four? It's a lot worse...)

  • i dont get it, rapture IS bioshock to be honest, if it wasnt in rapture, WHERE WOULD IT BE! you talk about its in raptue again but honestly, if you were working on the game, where would you set it???

  • How come Bioshock is the only game that gets picked on for having the same setting? Isn't that argument somewhat flawed? How come there were never any "I got the new GTA and it was in a big open city, but you know, I had seen that before, so it didn't have the same affect..." esc. reviews? I understand that the setting was one of the reasons that made Bioshock so great, but it isn't exactly fair to criticize it so much for returning to the place players so vibrantly showed affection for.

  • Cus the new Gta was the first Gta on a next gen console and it was way better more relistic and other crap.

  • Its true what they said, the first game was like a wow you know?

    but the second game was basicly the same thing.... nothing was new... the only difference was that this time you were a big daddy. that was all.

  • Mark is stupid.................!

  • Complete agreement. I couldn't help but feel a constant desire to bitch slap the guy while watching him speak. I can imagine how he goes through life: whine, bitch, moan, complain, do crack.

  • i like this idea of coming back to look at games after having it been out for a while.

  • Why so serious?

  • how long is this the single player

  • game was good but everything felt too familiar

  • these so called "professional reviewers" have no idea what they are talking about they are just bashing Bioshock 2 just because it takes place in rapture again but if they were really smart they'd notice how different rapture looks ten years later,they would have noticed the plant life growing inside rapture and how messed up it looks. seriously you can't call a sequel bad just because it takes place in the same setting again,that's bullshit.your supposed to review a game on playability

  • its 8 years afta biocshock nt 10........

    and IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!

    SO DID THE FIRST ONE AND IF THERE'S A THIRD THAT WILL BLOW!!!!

  • @XSDXDOWNEYX i can tell you haven't played it because it clearly says in the beginning of the game 10 years later and plus why would you watch a bioshock video if you think it blows

  • y would i wanna play d second aftr waist'n 30 euro n d 1st 1......

    2 say d game sucked n piss ppl off

  • write shit people can understand

  • @YellowFlash2K7 you know what your just a butthurt cod fanboy that's why your going on bioshock videos and annoying the shit outof people who like it,and not only that your a trey fanboy you know you sucked chadwardens and ELPRESADORS cock because your a trey fanboy seriously get a fucking life and

  • Wow, Mark Ryan is a pissy little bitch.

  • guys talking in this vid= fags

  • the only thing they left out in the gameplay is playing as a big daddy and useing a wep n a plas at the same time but yeah more or less agree with most of that

  • The storyline is pretty easy..

  • Lul

  • new noobs where is the second opinion of your reatard *spelt wrong for a reason* version of AVP one of the best games out atm cod sucks , bioshock is terrible from a graphics point ( based round water and got crap water graphics) bad company 2 is any battle field from pc and avp is the only fresh game out review it again to redeem the ammount of dildos in your anus

  • Hahahaha avp sucks balls, end of story.

  • lol tool

  • AvP on the ps3 sucks they need to fix the server issues on the 360 its perfectly fine wish I got it for 360 now...

  • I don't see how Bioshock is considered so original when it looks just the same as System Shock to me.

  • this game waz far to short and easy i only used the gattling and rivet gun the whole way through, dont get me wrong i realy enjoyed it but it got so repetative and near the end felt like they ran out of ideas so just kept throwing millions of enemys at you :-(

  • Homos

  • yeah cuz i mean i still dont see anything bad about this game

  • After completing Bioshock 2, I have to say I enjoyed it, its a solid game, but it didnt quite reach the heights of the original. Still a great game though.

  • These twats make way to big a deal out of "seeing Rapture for the first time". For fuck sake its just a city with water around it.

  • you got to admit tho dude, its sweet. City underwater....=)

  • I don't know about you guys but the spear is my favourite weapon

  • this game is fucking epic

  • dam the guy on the middle started talking pretty loud and then i just couldnt hear nothing

  • yes bioshock 2 improves on gameplay, for instance plasmids are not very effective agasint big daddys in bioshock one limiting any stratigies you may come up with. That is just one example the fact they made big daddies and sisters more susceptible to plamids.

  • I got to the max rank in 20 hrs. The multiplayer was kind of short but I didnt get bored of it after reaching max rank

  • they are upping the max rank with the dlc

  • Do you have to buy the new dlc

  • no

    its a totally new game

  • the next dlc increases rank and adds new characters

  • Bioshock 2 is a great game, but the original is unequivocally a one of a kind game.

  • @mightydojo

    I agree. the last one was about imersion, not actually about gameplay. Sure the plasmids were fun, but, without the whole "rapture" concept, they game would simply be a failure.

    This one more about gameplay... and it loses a lot of charm.

  • lies all lies

  • i just rubbed one out to this video

  • I don't care about reputation.

  • *drools*

  • I don't care about contraception!!

  • I'm not sure these guys even finished the game.

  • They'd have to

  • lol everything i hear is yea but the first game......... the first game was....... comparing this to the first game is........ omg lol why dont they compare halo to the other games or somthing else. like they have the same weapons, enemies, level layout, multiplayer, vehicles. nobody gives a dam about that

  • they were to hard on the game... i would like to see them make a second to bioshock! thats write they dont make them!

  • they did not talk about new people... the people who r new to the story! the new people to the game still have that woah!

  • this video sucks,the title is "Bioshock 2 Second Opinions" not "Comparing a sequel to the first game" jeez why can't they review sequel nowadays without mentioning the first game

  • Because this is IGN...

  • @lolmoper

    when u review a game talking about advancements and changes comes mainly when talking about the original...

  • I think that it's pretty impossible not to. When a sequel comes out, you HAVE to look at its predecessor in order to analyse what the sequel has changed or improved upon.

  • These guys are boring.

  • I like Bioshock 2 very much!

    But i really felt, that playing as a big daddy, made this game not scary at all. and i felt a little bit slowly...

    First one always the best one.

  • faggots

  • i really loved bioshock 2 the only thing that really pissd me off was the fact that back traveling to levels is gone they shouldnt have done that

  • what ass holes its a fucking phenomenal game

  • They dumbed down to much hated it

    In the time between 1 & 2 someone setup a gun factory in Rapture coz thats my on explanation where all the leadhead splicers with Tommy guns came from. 1 felt like a survival horror game 2 is not even close to being as good. From start to finish I went never having to worry about running out of ammo which made the iconic weapons of the big daddy pointless

  • you can play just drill and plasmids but there is little point to doing so. You only need 1 plasmid frost the others are just filler. My main complaint was that I did not feel like a big daddy their was no feeling of me wearing a spun brass diving suit I ran a round like a ballerina in a tutu with no feeling of the weight on my back until I hit a underwater section where apparently jumping is impossible,

  • Damn they are hating on this game.
