Bioshock 2 capsule review to encompass everything I've played on it so far and trying to say only nice things about it.
It loads.

Update 3
Still nothing interesting to report. I have picked up lots of things and killed lots of the same thing.

Update 4
Something has happened. Over 2 hours into the game and something happened.
It was a bit like in Bioshock. But in Bioshock 2. It had tense music and everything. Short tense music. On a loop.
Something else happened after that too.
It was a bit like in Bioshock. But in Bioshock 2. The music wasn't as tense this time but there was a boss baddy or three.

perhaps the original game was just too good? Am I right in presuming you're playing the 360 version Bob? |

If you're willing to sit out the first couple of hours then it starts getting better, for the most part though it's just a solid FPS. Alec's review on RPS is pretty much bang on the nail: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/02/08/wot-i-think-bioshock-2/It's never terrible and there's been (now after what, 3/4 hours possibly more?) one really good bit and two quite good bits that are well worth playing for but man, it's padded out to fuck. You could have trimmed most of the start off and lost nothing and made it a much better game for it. |

Update 5. Somewhere in the region of quite a fucking few hours in it finally finds its feet.
Totally bored of harvesting/arena shooter combo now so I'm just bopping the sisters as I find them rather than keep repeating that same scene ad infinitum. I'm sure I'm losing some of the fun due to not being able to afford a metric fuckton of upgrades all the time but I'm making up for that in not having to sit through a shit arena shooter segment each time.

Hmm, I fear that you Bob, (& Alec of RPS) have made my DRM-boycotting*^# decision all the easier. *till it's $5 on Steam in 6 months time. ^Err, plus the fact my current PC won't run it. #wellatleastiadmitmyweaknesses |

It's the anti-Bioshock  Bioshock had a fucking strong first 3/4 then fell apart at the end, this does the opposite. I think it's safe to say I didn't get the happy ending there but fuck me, that was a corking final quarter. |
