Bioshock 2

i just recently finished bioshock 2. here's what i think:

Bioshock 1 was better.

Bioshock 2 was good, but it didn't seem to have the personality of the first one. B2 felt more like an attempt by a corporation to imitate B1. Instead of having a fresh feeling to it, it was kind of like playing an imitation, rather than a new game.

B2 was somewhat strange in that you play as a big daddy yet you get your arse spanked by the splicers as if you were naked. am i not wearing a big daddy suit? why yes i am! so why the hell am i getting spanked when i remember what a nightmare it was to kill big daddies in B1?????!!!!!

also, there was this really cheap thing about the splicers. we would clear out a room that had no other visible doors, windows, holes, cracks, etc. the only way in or out was the one door we used to enter the area. and as soon as we'd leave the room, one or more splicers would come running out of the previously empty room after us, catching us totally off guard! wtf?! thanks lazy developers! bastards!

the tape recorders are still there. they probably told you some sort of backstory, but i never figured out what the hell they were talking about. what the hell, i got an achievement for finding 100 of them. there are more but you only need to find 100 to get the achievement.

took us a month and a half to finish this thing. no, the game is not THAT long. i just ran into a lot of speedbumps along the way.

i had some of the best and worst times throughout the course of this game. and i think this may be the first time in my life that i'll be able to recall a certain period in my life and associate it with a game rather than music.

however, B2 was the best co-op experience i have EVER had!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. multiplayer blows.
