Like BioShock? Well This Is What BioShock 2 Is About

BioShock 2 is an upcoming first-person shooter video game, developed by 2K Marin and 2K Australia as the sequel to the critically acclaimed BioShock.

In order to follow with this article you should have knowledge from BioShock 1. We will be talking about Big Daddies, Big Sister and Little Sisters. The story line of the game is quite complicated to explain, but we’ll try out best — just for you!

Set on New Years Eve of 1970, ten years after the events of BioShock, a number of towns around the world have been reporting kidnappings of young girls, with witnesses reporting the attackers as both extremely fast and thin, with red lights often reported as either being worn by the attacker or spotted nearby in the sea. This single attacker is in fact the Big Sister, one of the Little Sisters from the first entry in the series, who has mechanized herself in a similar fashion to the Big Daddies and has become the ruler of the underwater city of Rapture. Under her control, the city has reached an equilibrium in which she “actively maintains the city’s infrastructure, and violently hunts anyone down who disrupts the balance of power”; Tenenbaum, discoverer of ADAM (the genetic material for the production of Plasmids) and original creator of the Little Sisters, also states that the Big Sister has begun kidnapping girls to turn them “into creatures like her”. Tenenbaum also states that she is “like the golem story, not understanding the wrong that she does”, hinting that her actions may be controlled by a different force. It is also known that Sofia Lamb, a former political rival of Andrew Ryan has taken over Rapture, and created a new religion called ‘The Rapture Family’.

The player takes the role of the first Big Daddy, a prototype for the Big Daddies seen in the original game. The character possesses superior speed and intelligence to other Big Daddies, as well as free will. As such, the player uses the Big Daddy’s drill and rivet gun as weapons, though the drill will overheat if used continuously. The rivet gun will have several types of ammo, similar to the first game.

As a “rogue” Big Daddy, players will attempt to capture the Little Sisters from other Big Daddies who wander around Rapture. Once a Little Sister is caught, the player will again have the option of choosing the fate of the Little Sisters. The player will also be able to step outside the city of Rapture into the ocean due to the diving suit they wear. Here the player can explore the ocean floor, recover from fights, marvel at the city from the outside and pick up special items. Other returning features from the first game include audio diaries, and the ability for the player to regenerate through the use of Vita-Chambers. In addition to the single-player story, multiplayer will be a feature in BioShock 2, but this will not take the form of co-operative play.

This is very much anticipated game for everyone since BioShock had won numerous amount of awards. So make sure you grab a copy early next year, this is the game you don’t really want to miss out on.
