Bioshock 2 comes out tomorrow, the first game was one of the most haunting, intriguing, and memorable games I have ever played. Lauded for its art deco style but remembered for its presentation and haunting humanistic speeches from Andrew Ryan and Frank Fontaine, Bioshock remains a game whose story and message will always loom large in my mind.
Is Rapture worth visiting again? Much of the allure of the original lies in its unique underwater world which celebrates human acheivment and consequently human moral failure. The shock of this world is what made the game such a powerful piece of art alongside a very uniquely told story. I am not sure the second installment can impact me as profoundly as the first. What do you think? Will you pick up a copy of Bioshock 2 tomorrow?
In the meantime, you can read or watch a review of the game at IGN.
