  • SPOILER ALERT!

  • OH THANKS NOW I WANT TO PLAY BIOSHOCK AGAIN Still i like bioshock 2 its better

  • IGN or any other game reviewing site couldn't do a better job than you LP. great job. thumbs up if you agree

  • man am i glad got rid of my ps3 and got an xbox 360 the load time for this specifcally are alot better...the reason i wen to xbox is that i went thoruhg 3 ps3's

  • Who's ready for infinite? ;)

  • @jackram2h2 ME! As soon i finish bioshock 2 for like 5 times more...

  • who plays games made for consoles on a computer? fucking nerds lol

  • @TouchMulaGANG those games are made for pc's correction there made ON pc's for pc's XD

    (im a ps3 gamer btw)

  • @TouchMulaGANG are you saying that bioshock is better on console?

    than you my friend, are a silly billy

  • FIRST.

  • When people say that the graphics aren't as good on this, i feel that they're being a bit too picky. I think it looks great, and especially when you compare it to how games looked on the ps2 / xbox era, it's come along way. 

  • U have not commented on the 360 version?

  • The story was the best thing about the original and you didn't touch on it here. You missed the point completely so I'd recommend reviewing things like Halo and COD for you like IGN does. Being extremely biased towards the PC doesn't help your case as well.

  • This was the best (and most honest) review I have seen on Bioshock 2. I hated the game because it lost its immersive experience. I would not give is 8.8 because of the expectations set by Bioshock. 5.5 for me.

  • PC version is the shittiest port i've ever seen. The texture streaming is broken in some sense (it takes about 10-20 seconds for textures to load fully, now REALLY?), and the intro cinematics lag even on my 3.0 ghz duo. It's insane. But hey, it's just 20 bucks, and after hunting for some work arounds, this game was quite fun to be honest. Tip to the devs, don't neglect us pc gamers, were just as important. :(

  • lolps3. Fail.

  • @awesomniss k thx

  • So by all means, keep lying to yourself because i promise you, you are not convincing anyone of anything. All the insulting and all the poor grammar and spelling in the world isn't enough to shake the ideals of someone who actually has a real argument (and that goes for anything, not just gaming). So i will say it yet again, and let it be known by all that: consoles rule now and always. Nothing you can (poorly) say will convince me otherwise.....

  • @haloring117 Everything you say is wrong. Pc's are and always will be better gaming systems. Consoles are for casual gamers and a few hardcore gamers. Have you ever seen pc's cod graphics compared to a console? Obviously not. Pc's can run at over 100 fps compared to the maximum 60 on consoles. Sure consoles sell more but that is because they appeal to the general casual gamer. So stop being so benighted

  • And you dare have the nerve to say something like the pc is the dominant gaming platform? I'm sorry, but that just makes me laugh every time i think about it because it's completely absurd in every way. I know literally hundreds of people who call themselves gamers and i can only recall one in perticular individual who uses the pc. And guess what? Even they come over and play my consoles and forget about their pc. What does that tell you?

  • And let's just say for the sake of argument, and more than one individual besides yourself actually agreed with you, that would still make you in the minority wouldn't it? Because, if you actually looked this stuff up instead of just pulling it out of your ass and (poorly) posting it on youtube; you would clearly see that console sales have always been higher. And legendary consoles such as the ps2 have sold more than any gaming pc in history.

  • *"consoles suck and everyone here knows it shit head"

    Again with the insults? I'm sorry that my difference in opinion has made you insecure enough to attempt to shake my moral foundation, (which again, you have clearly failed.) And just who is 'everyone'? Could you perhaps be referring to yourself by any chance? But that would just make you one person not 'everyone', wouldn't it? I now see what it is like to have no friends to relate to when you refer to yourself as "everyone here" sad really.

  • *"u always gotta pay for online and the hookup to the internet is unbearable"

    Alright then: define 'unbearable' if you're even able to, (which im amazed you actually managed to spell correctly for once *claps*). Also the last time i checked, all the current consoles do indeed have free internet. while some do have premium packages; overall you can hook up your console to the internet without ever spending a dime. Thus defeating yet another one of your pointless attempts at a so called 'fact'.

  • *"wow ur kool call a better, smarter pc player ignorent"

    You've already prove that you clearly are every time you reply to me because you aren't convincing anyone with your third grade spelling/grammar and logic.

    *"ur a fuckin moron no one like consoles cause they suck donkey ball."

    I'm a moron because you claim that a piece of gaming hardware sucks on the testicle of a donkey? okay, that makes perfect sense. let's move on, shall we?

  • Is there a lil brother

  • @lambchops61 no

  • this is about the most biased review ive ever seen, filled with nothing but irrelevent opinions and a severe lack of real facts. pc is better??? ha! this guy is full of shit. consoles ftw. and bioshock 2 (on consoles) ftw.

  • @haloring117 consoles suck balls man and y r u watchin if u dislike moron

  • @narkilable Why? because the last time i checked, this was a free country where i can watch what i wish. As for the review: this is bioshock 2 for consoles in the first place; So why the slander in the first place? And last of all, how was i supposed to know this was a lousy review if i hadn't watched it yet? If i remember correctly, you give the opinion after you watch the review. i can definately tell you are a pc gamer: an over abundance of cash and a deficit of common sense. CONSOLES FTW....

  • @haloring117 haha people dont like people who like consoles

  • @narkilable And??? If that even made the slightest inkling of sense at all it would be worth a logical reply. But it dosn't; although its not surprising coming from a pc gamer such as yourself. and therefore again what i stated before hand has more baring than ever: CONSOLES FTW, now and always. (And one would think with all that practice with a mouse and keyboard you would have better grammer. But again, what else can one expect from an ignorant pc gamer?)

  • @haloring117 wow ur kool call a better, smarter pc player ignorent. ur a fuckin moron no one like consoles cause they suck donkey ball. u always gotta pay for online and the hookup to the internet is unbearable consoles suck and everyone here knows it shit head

  • @haloring117 LOL THATS UR COMBACK

    LOL ALL U SAID WAS I WAS A PC GAMER AND WE HAVE SKILLS

    nvm because i have a life

  • @narkilable Obviously not if it took you that long to reply.

  • Im a noob, so the big daddys are the good guys along with the little sisters?

  • ehh multiplayer isnt as good now because theirs DLC that u have to pay for... if u get all the DLC its fkin like 15 bucks and if u dont get the DLC u get owned

  • I find the multi player pritty damn addicting & even more fun than MW2

  • Strange what you mentioned about the unlock framerate feature; I recently started using it and have noticed no visual differences. Though it makes the gameplay so much more satisfying as the increase in framerate is significant (and consistent for me so far).

    Great review anyway. I initially enjoyed BS2 more than BS1, but now I'm leaning the other way. Great games.

  • @yootoobdotcomlol

    Well unlocking frame rates isn't suppose to have any effect on visual improvement. It just lets the user surpass the previous frame rate lock for a smoother gameplay.

  • Dude this guy is full of shit, ps3 is the best console ever made

  • @myphoneandme that doesn't mean every game is amazing on it! Some games just don't look as good on the ps3 as on the pc or 360, and vice-versa!

  • @myphoneandme in some ways, in other ways its worst

  • In my opinion this game is a huge dissapointment after the epicness of bioshock 1

  • So you dont recommend it for ps3 owners?

    :(

    Is the xbox version better then the ps3? Cuz I want to pick the game up for my ps3

  • @Jerrongamereview the version is the same as xbox. however i think that the ps3 version is slightly better due to its controls.

  • I agree full with this review. It meets the expectation with gameplay, but with story and design....not too much.

  • good review i just bought this game and so far this is the best game i played this year

  • @rezzili3nt its an amazing game lol

  • true fact being a big daddy moan attracts big sisters

  • @neihoffstrothers sure sure, and just how are you able to play those games in the ps3? Imagination? xD

  • I really loved the story of the sequel much more than one from first BS

  • Love your reviews man

  • i cried when i finished the game. very sad story, and the song :(

  • @Muvviiitme what ending did you get i got happy one :D

  • @Mitch200714 the happy one, even though it's happy, deeply it's not.hahahhaha

  • Good review, great work! I agree the first BioShock is better than the second but there is good upgades on the game like hacking, better upgrades on plasmids and wepons

  • It all depends on how you play it. Supply scarcity isn't the games fault, it's the players

  • I actually played this game very conservatively on hard mode with the vita chamber turned off. I meleed whenever I can to save ammo and money and it eventually caused me to constantly have to spend money to give me room in my wallet. I was actually always reaching $800 constantly with all my guns at full ammo thanks to the speargun.

  • This game is superb fun its often played during the holidays with my uncle he is totally awesome at it. I was lucky and downloaded it totally free for my sony ps3 from - 115 games. com there are literally thousands I couldnt beleive that they are all free also I must say 0:24 - 3:54 was first class

  • This game is pretty good i got it for 50$ for pc its awsome i just beat it but im trying to get the 3rd plasimth for hipnotize for Mr.Bubbles

  • i got it £27 of amazon which is pretty good

  • This game was very dissapointing. It just didn't feel the same. Very mediocre compared to the first. I really don't see how the gameplay mechanics were improved. The first game was perfect. Some of the explosions in B2 felt weak. Hacking was also dumbed down. Fucking hate it when they do that. Big Sisters were also pretty gay. Pretty stupid looking boss compared to Big Daddy's first appearance. The developers really butchered this title.

  • good fucking review!

  • lol got a ebgames trade in deal also, got dante's inferno and bioshock2 for 4 games dont play and 50$

  • C'mon your complaining about the loading times, which only occurs about 5 or 6 times in the entire game to load entire new environments. Boy you're impatient. Nonetheless a decent review, and I'm hoping on my second Hard no vita chamber playthrough the game will become more challenging as you described because I didn't die once in Normal.

  • I really like this guy's videos.

  • I agree, Bioshock2 could've been more; alot more. Maybe next time they can leave MP behind and concentrate more on the Sp mode.

  • never beat bs1 and only rented it maybe ill go get that fo 20 bucks since im seeing good scores but its story isnt as good as the first its shorter and the multiplayer isnt that good. really mp is pointless in game like bioshock

  • Man u guys need to give lp a break, he did a pretty damn good review

  • garbage

  • a tip for you, the drill destroys big daddies and big sisters. winter blast den drill them. no sweat to take them down.

  • 7:17 did i hear u say 'the port over to the PC is a bit sloppy' it was on the PC to start with fool....

  • to much spoilers

  • 1:28 where can I find that clip?

  • Dude, terrible example...

  • both were amazing

  • i would give bioshock 2 an 9.2/10 :P

  • 10/10 period if you dont like it dont play it

  • I've played though twice on the 360 version now.

    My loading only took 30 - 45 seconds and didn't suffer texture loading problems.

    I also unlocked the framerate second time around and found it better than when it was locked, rarely lagged.

    Sad about the small text on when playing in SD.

    Overall, I didn't really see much of an improvement against Bio1 :(

  • he said an old game called timespillters

    i have timespillters 2 and its awsome and kind of funny.

    cause u can go around as a money punching people in the nutsXD

  • is it co op online?

  • Umm...

    Team Deathmatch? xD

    No sadly.

  • @MrGoodfight no its not this game is about a main story line thats mainly what the game is about its too good 4 co op online nad 2 u should play 2 end thene 1 because 2 starts off before 1 but 1 comes out before 2

  • i bought it yesterday and this game is just awesome.

  • ...

    I'm talking about the ability to play current generation games at the same performance/more than a PS3.

    If you were being sarcastic then... lol?

  • This guy needs to stop bitching about the graphics

  • @quote55

    When was he bitching? All I heard was him explaining what he thought about the graphics of the game he's reviewing. You know, like every other game reviewer does...

  • wow no disrespect but you just contradicted yourself

  • im probably wierd....but i found the sequel much more better than the first one. The storyline, the levels, the gameplay, everything overall was better...yes i didnt really love the first one somehow, of course it was a good game but nothing more and this one: awesome, just awesome.

  • i love canadian accents. suck it hard.

  • @ 6:55 no offense, but if you wanted a game with decent loading times, it was a bad idea to get it for the PS3

  • ps3 ftw!

  • Thank god Jon doesnt do game reviews

  • @fairfaxsurfshoprider

    Why do you say that?

  • @fWo His voice is annoying over long periods of time

  • it is not worth 8.8 due to the repeat of levels and old graphics. 6.5/10

  • Dude, but if you forget about the repetitiveness and the graphics (which aren't bad at all) there's a game that's a LOT of fun. After beating the game I found myself wanting to play the game again just to rape people with the fully upgraded shotgun and insect swarm.

  • @fWo im replaying it because im pretty sure if u do different suff the ending is differnent

  • im subscribed to lp. i remove other tb vids. you need own channel.

  • Ensviikolla alkanee uus kanava. Kunhan ehdin laittmaan kasaan.

  • oho, asiaa :)

  • they removed the fear factor :(

  • i dont know about you but for me it goes Game-play and Story first, Graphics later

  • thx but that didnt help me....i think u missed a word

  • Well, just play the game dude. If someone tells you now, it's ruined forever.

  • okay anyone who has noticed that pc games are held back from there true potention by consoles has been true for so long its unreal pc's are far far far more superiar to consoles you cant really compare a high end pc of 2010 to a ps3 or 360

  • @MoonLightCoCo and you should have been held back in English

  • I do agree. There are more Game Programmers working on console games than on PC, then when a good game comes out it is ported to the PC which has far superior graphics and speed. So Nvidia and ATi can't progress their cards graphics potential because the games don't have the potential to produce better graphics and higher framerates.

  • Takes long to load cause its PS3.

  • @Generalvaldez the issue is that the game is put onto a blueray disc and could have been decompressed to the point of no load times but this was never done.

  • Awesome review! LP know what he's talking about. Great work

  • can someone explain to me how the bigdaddys actualy became bigdaddys and why they love the little sisters

  • Great review, LP! I really enjoyed the visual feast of this game while listening to your great review of it. 5*****

  • Man this game sucks donkey's balls...

    For those of you thinking of buying this game, DON'T! It's that bad. *_*

  • @Spellchant

    lol, could you tell me why you think that? I don't want you to freak out, but I would seriously like to know what you see in this game that is so bad.

  • @fWo: Well to put it simply it's a sham of the first. The mystery of the first game is completely gone, and playing as Big Daddy is stupid. I'm okay with the story in the first game and think it's fine to leave it at that. But it sold well so of course they had to make a follow-up.

    Example: at the start, when ryan caught you in some chamber and accused of being KGB, I thought having the top guy in rapture swearing to kill you means you'd be hounded like crazy.

  • But after the narrow escape from this part into the Medical Pavillion section, it seems that Ryan has forgotten that he wants to kill you and you don't even hear from him for a while. Can't help but feel a tad disconnected to the storyline.

    The shooting mechanics were average and you spend way too much time looting bodies and searching every odd draw and trash can you stumble upon.

    More like first person looter.

    Oh and I hate creeping through the game without an effective stealth mechanic.

  • Lots more where that came from, but his 500 character limit is a pain...

    So I'll just leave it at that. And no need to get defensive about this people, this is just an opinion. :)

  • @Spellchant

    Well, I'm not gonna yell at you for having your opinions, but I disagree. I was scared about pretty much everything you just stated before playing the game, but for me, it was just hella fun. The story was mediocre, but I just loved playing as a Big Daddy, upgrading weapons and plasmids, and the Little Sister aspect. Yea, it's repetitive, but I had a lot of fun being repetitive if you know what I mean. :)

  • so im playing through a second time to get the "evil" ending and i feel soo bad killing the Little Sisters!!! lol and im sort of confused as to y he said theres a shortage of ammo in the game? is that only in Hard mode cause i nvr once had a problem getting ammo???

  • @jdbabyv3

    I don't think it's necessarily the "shortage of ammo" he's talking about. He's just saying that there's always that constant need and search for ammo. At  least that's what I feel he's talking about.

  • Bio shock2 has to be my 4th or 5th fav game of all time

  • I wouldn't rate that high, but it is good lol

  • I got really sick and tired of Bioshock 2 really fast after i beat it

  • Nice!

  • All your reviews are "very exciting".

    I'm not complaining; its just something I've noticed.

    Good review.

  • graphics suck! sorry... but it's true

  • They're not amazing, but they suck? Alright buddy.

  • got it for PS3

    for my first Bioshock game i'm not dissapointed and i'm actually looking to pick up a copy of the first one

  • Dude, get it!

  • Hardcore multiplayer games like MW2?!? HAHA! MW2's fuckin terrible. Even this multiplayer (which is fairly fun, but obviously has it's problems) easily beats MW2.

  • then why has it sold so well ?

  • @bum813

    Because it caters to noobs, and has extremely good presentation. And does selling well really make something good? Just look at Miley Cyrus.

  • @fWo

    I completely agree

  • would you kindly?

  • Never xP

  • Well this is a good game but still BattleField Bad Company 2 is the best for me.

  • I really like what Bad Company has to offer as well. The graphics are amazing, the map sizes are huge, and the vehicles are awesome. Too bad the classes aren't fully customizable, and weapons can't have sights as attachments (except for default sniper scopes).

  • Ps3 graphics are crappy with bioshock.

    You should have got the 360 version mate.

  • naa, mate their both the same, xbox and ps3

  • Framerate is good on the 360 version...

    What? I don't have anymore to add lol

  • The game uses UE2.5 not 3.

  • i like this,but i like MW2 more

  • @Thelightblade1

    How come?

  • maybe it is just me

  • Great review mate...we want a Uncharted 2 review

  • This game looks shit!

    Give me MW2 any day

  • You may say that, but Bioshock is an awesome single-player experience that beats MW2's any day.

  • yeah thats what i thought. but its very good well the first one is. havent played this one

  • @mohillipsgoogle

    "This game looks shit?" Really? I seriously recommend you downloading the demo for the first Bioshock before making statements like that. That's the only demo I've ever downloaded that made me want to buy the respective game immediately.

  • @mohillipsgoogle

    it's a game.....dont take it so seriously....its like saying "Star Wars would never happen!".

  • @mohillipsgoogle

    are you serious? Christ...

  • @mohillipsgoogle

    Do you realize by saying that you're saying that almost all fiction "could never happen" therefore it's stupid? You're retarded. To think that a game is stupid just because it's set in a city underwater is extremely superficial.  Grow up.

  • @mohillipsgoogle

    So you lack an imagination?

    Go and sign up to the military, much more real than MW2 ever could be.

  • wat duz big daddy look lke?

  • MW2 BEST GAME EVER.

  • Comment removed

  • no its not. so you can stfu.

  • Many games are better than MW2.

  • fallout 3 knock off

  • @deatho10o fallout came a year later than the original bioshock

  • You're retarded...

  • they do fricking scare you when they come up behind you, like you said that music really makes it scary one moment its calm and then BANG it does make you fricking scared! lol good video, I enjoy watching you

  • pc will always own consoles!!!

  • @hill89 hell yeah

  • Exactly what Dreamst8r said.

  • don't talk shit about the collectors edition that shit was tight

  • i must say, why is he complaining about the graphics not looking good, and then complaining about a low framerate, um, better graphics mean lower framerate! he expects better graphics but its running on the same hardware. it doesn't matter if its been 3 years or 30 years, 256mb of video ram is still...256mb of video ram :P

  • @thebeetalls but he is playing it on PS3....

  • calm down if you like pc's that's cool but stop bashing!

  • not bashing, im just saying he cant expect better performance out of the same exact hardware. my comment about ram size was legitimate because many developers have stated they have had problems with running out of texture memory and tha
