I love BioShock 2, in my opinion, it's better than the first game. A sequel can never capture that same feeling of surprise and wonderment of an original and 2K Marin know that. Instead of getting overly ambitious and forgetting what made the original good - which we've seen so much in the past with games like Driver 2, Devil May Cry 2, Halo 2, Modern Warfare2, etc. - they tighten the pace, fix a few gameplay flaws and tell a story that doesn't try to outdo the original but tries to continue the exploration of similar themes. Introducing Sophia Lamb as Andrew Ryan's counterpart who uses religion and promotes socialist ideas is a brilliant twist on the original, and it's that dichotomy between their two failed attempts at societies which make the storyline in this game so good, not the somewhat predictable twists and turns that happen as the game goes on.
