If you’re like me, you try to read as many blogs and articles you can about awesome new games and game reviews. I like Mike Smith, I do. He’s a good writer with good views and I think he got this article right on the dot: http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/critics-bioshock-2-very-good-but-falls-short-of-original/1388853. The original can’t really be matched in any way and it was in my top-3 video games of all time, but BioShock 2 is pretty awesome, but not that awesome. The story line is good, but unfortunately it’s kind of predictable. The game play is fun, but it’s not as fluid as the first game. It’s kind of stiff, if you will. I still give this game a 8.5, but I gave BioShock a 9.9. Not a far step down by any means, but it’s still fun and a good catch. You should check it out if you’re a BioShock Fan. You’ll be surprised.
