at least as good as its predecessor

- To arrive no way back to previously visited places
if one is an environment graze thoroughly you. Find everything important and this is not so bad ... but if you forget things like the power to people upgrading stations, tonics or audio diaries can be annoying Before each new area you will however also always warned and perfectionists can already create a checklist in advance to be sure not to forget anything.

- Code input for locks
must put on some one a 4 digit code to enter to open doors, to find out it is beforehand. This I like actually quite good because it usually a little attention is needed ... but the game shows at the prompt already found out codes next to the entry. Where previously you had to check up objects, analyze wall scribbling or good listener diaries with audio to be in all cases the code to remember, it came to me a couple of times before I got the code without him even find out easily displayed.
Example: there was a place where you could look through a gap and could if you were attentive enough to see a code. I did not see him, but he was denoch bookmarked because I could have seen theoretically. Yes, that is not a serious point ... wanted to mention it denoch.

- Vita Chamber
As before there again the possibility after death again in the Vita Chamber to "respawn". I am aware that you may be exhibiting this, but the mere possibility of indirectly so enormous to screw down the difficulty level and to react to every respect for the opponents I find game (balance / fun) damaging. Beginners should ask the difficulty to easy to get through without any major problems and that it should play on hard and have a hard time. Who has the option to, and in fact, for example. dies of a Big Daddy, thereby Simply enticed back quickly added race there to continue on the damaged draufzuklöppeln.

------ What could be found negative ------

- The short play time
Quality not quantity ... so we knew it from its predecessor and also here it is again like that.

- Things have hardly changed
I know some where there were too few changes in the game. Hardly change it at around use (oil responds to fire, water power) and the bulk of the available plasmids. The number of new opponents can be counted by hand. Generally there some things you already know and recovered into play ... but to me it's all right that not everything has been changed from the ground up. (Especially since there is in my opinion, enough changes that make the part unique!)

------ What I noticed positive ------

Story & Characters
the completely independent story is captivating and the characters are authentic. Especially the new antagonist was able to convince with their given personality + German Synchro. The action takes place 10 years after the conclusion of the first part. As a special production model of a Big Daddy you're looking for his allotted Little Sister. Sofia Lamb, the new ruler tried this but to avoid at all costs, as it has other plans for this Little Sister. One does not know the story of the first part, I would recommend denoch before playing the predecessor, as you can also find some audio diaries, which are from older characters and one so diverse things a bit easier to understand. One learns a lot about the way Rapture and some merge with information already known.

Areas
because I do not want too much spoilers I will only say this, that you visited some of Rapture important and therefore meaningful places that are either responsible for the condition or necessary for the preservation of the city. See the first part you will not get again to face.

Graphic
no large improvements have struck me with its predecessor, but who has already come to enjoy the Bioshock graphic knows is there is not too much to improve. The attention to detail is also here and can feel visible. The atmosphere is again consistent and draws one into its spell.

Sound
Music from the 30's is währrend the loading screens and ansich heard in the game from time to time and heard somehow to Bioshock so. The sound effects are well done and the OST has some good songs, even though I would describe the entire work, as rather mediocre.

------ ------ Changes

Weapon selection
here I was really surprised ... there are plenty of new weapons and ammunition debug accordingly. Each weapon has time 3 upgrade levels and changes each time you upgrade the appearance. Unlike the plasmids weapons + ammo types offer more than well-known New. This time, however, you will not make it completely expand all weapons.

cost of plasmids and tonics
you are spoiled for choice what you're spending the captured Adam. It seems to me in front as if the options is greater, because you always have to think what you probably spends it and you have to give up enough plasmids / tonics because you are not all-rounders there. So it's fun to take on a little more individual deck together.

Collect Adam
After killed Big Daddy can harvest the Little Sister 2 Splicer. In harvesting phase there, favored by splicers. Before the rush you can provided all with traps and prepare it. All in one makes you feel so even more like a Big Daddy as you step into the role of protector.

Research
It consumes no more film and no longer has his opponents with a flurry of flashbulbs attack to get the research points. This time will be filmed and fought there ... depending on which weapon to fight there research points ... also there a good bonus if it währrend filming even killed. In a menu, you watch beautiful clear what rewards you get for exploring by the enemies, and how much one has to be a kind of missing completely explored.

new hack system
It is hacked without stoppage. The tube embarrassed was abolished and was replaced by a moving pointer in which these have to make a button in colored areas. This makes me personally more fun than the previous picks and ensures a better flow of the game.

------ Others ------

Multiplayer mode (online only)
There if I remember correctly 8 categories.
Here achieved the player wins the first 20 Kills - survival of the fittest.
Civil War - my favorite: Here 2 groups and which of them first 50 Kills at war gains accumulated.
Capture the Little Sister: In alternating rounds in the team either protect a Little Sister of the opponent team, or steal and bring to bay.
Conquer the Adam: Here wins the one who was the first one Little Sister ineptly and total retained these 3 minutes.
Team Adam Hunt: The same as a team and with only 5 minutes.
Turf War: As a team marked areas and keep.
(Forgot exact name) Endurance: Did this no players found ... but I read that it's a deathmatch without respawn.
Kill them on the nice way: Only shock weapons are allowed.

It should be something for everyone. In the game there is for killing, chopping and completing specific challenges getting Adam (you could also call it experience points) with which you climb steps. Until level 40 you turn on something free at every level. This can be a weapon, a weapon addon, a plasmid or tonic. The sets can be equipped with 2 arms, 2 and 3 plasmids and tonics. Only here you can eg. try the Houdini Plasmid and use a new set of tonics. I certainly had a lot of fun and games today immermal again a round in multiplayer.

Gamerscore
The majority of the 1,000 Gs is relatively easy to capture offline. For the full 100% of the 1000 you have to spend at least 20 hours online. By 3 Addons (all three for total of 2000 Microsoft Points) can be up to 1400 Gs screw this up. Of these 400 Extra Points only a success without the help is something difficult to achieve. Namely: the territorial success, which you have to win all 6 new maps. What makes this so difficult, you can read a little further down the Metro Pack.

------ ------ Addons

Minerva's Den
Cost: 800 Microsoft Points
Type: Offline
Worthwhile? = Yes!
Here you'll find an interesting stand-alone story in which you have to beat by 3 levels. It expects a new powerful plasmid as well as a new weapon and some new kinds of enemies (even a little bit more than in the full-price game)

Protector checks
Cost: 400 Microsoft Points
Type: Offline
Worthwhile = yes!
With predetermined weapons / Plasmidsets you have to protect a Little Sister gather at Adam. Although this is nothing new, but goes through the other for available funds already fun

Metro Pack
Cost: 800 Microsoft Points
Type: Online
Worthwhile? = No!
The level cap in multiplayer is lifted from 40 to 50. To this was 6 new maps on which to play. If you are traveling in multiplayer long will you probably download this addon. The money, however, is not worth it. The 10 extra levels you can increase turn nothing free except a rebirth possible at level 50, which resets a level 1 and unlock an achievement and a mask. The 6 maps are indeed a nice thing but for me it is an absurdity that everyone in the lobby should have this addon so that these maps appear at all! And if it so wants the chance and grade only those people are there, the old maps are still mixed in between. It is therefore the maps rarely get to face, even though you have paid for it.

------ ------ Conclusion

Although it has smaller weaknesses (which are more than compensated with the strengths) Bioshock 2 is one of the best Xbox 360 games. For the price you really can not go wrong. So: you!
