Question: Is Bioshock2 a good game? Resounding yes, pulling a Bioshock2 makes immediately into the action, the opponents are not unfair and from the outset Bioshock really fun and plays very smoothly.
Question: Is Bioshock2 really a good game? Jaein ... Basically, you get a full price addon. Nothing is really new. The image has not really changed since 2007, the levels are more likely to become straight, the opponent (and Plassmide) well known. Anyone who has played Bioshock 1 feels at home immediately. Who has not played the Bioshock 1 was strongly advised: "Go buy BIOSHOCK 1!". Bioshock 1 is the scale at which Bioshock 2 has to be measured. Without the first part of it also does not really understand the appeal of Rapture citys and especially why I'm underwater, and what are these little girls love?
Then an interesting and not the strange loveless beginning of Bioshock2, this "are nu NEN Big Daddy with NEM oil drill arm, nu mach mal .." Just as little interested in a what was once why there is a sanatorium underwater. All this history is told very exciting in Bioshock 1. To that extent affects Bioshock 2 as an addon. However, a good one! It's fun back into Rapture City to be on the road to hear these 50 tunes while lunatics in bunny costumes incurred a with their weapons. The novelty weapons right to be able to use plasmids left right is a useful extension.
Question: Is it very hungry for hardware? On a Q6600, ATI Radeon 4870, 4GB RAM, Win 7 (64bit) it runs in 1650x1200 pixels and high details fluently.
Question: And the dark side? Bioshock2 is zZt still buggy and crashing frequently. Without patch the game crashes like when storing or leaving the game from (total Freeze). After Patch v1.001 it hangs directly from the application to Windows Live. It is incredible how 2K Games were so extreme sluts in quality control. Bioshock 1 was last bug free, for B2 had not be changed (it's at least not to notice). And that if necessary you the game with a crack gets up and running at the end is for the honest buyers already a travesty. Here the absence of Windows Live for those who want firstonce only play the SP would definitely eliminate many problems.
So it is recommended: Better yet something to wait for the Patchfee.
