That's it? What about weapon modification?
That's where the Power To The People stations come in.

You can upgrade the weapons 3 times, once per station.
I think there are about 7-8 stations in the game, total
Any Advice prior to renting it?

Fully upgrade the shotgun.

It's worth it.
It really is.

Get the ammo upgrade first.

Oh, and save all the Little Sisters.

Oh, right, I forgot: BUY IT
Right, right and right then.

Actually, there are 14 of them if gamefaqs is to be believed. (Yeah, I don't want to miss any upgrades, so sue me for taking a peek! :p)

OT: Good work! Appropriate length, fitting pictures, nice wording... and I definitely enjoy your brand of humor. Please, keep it up, I want to see more reviews!

(It's a weird coincidence... since I can't play AvP until Friday [damn you, Steam!] I rented Bioshock 2 today to bridge the time. Heh. Now I probably won't stop playing until 4am. ^^)

Heh. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the glitches.

Can I backtrack EVERYWHERE, or are some audio diaries are missable?

Huh. The choice "Harvest" and "Adopt" were swapped at my game. So I had to press X to adopt the Little Sister.

So, I pressed X.

You have to pay for any multiplayer on XBOX Live.

Would ya mind going into more detail with the weapon variety?
Noted for next review.

My personal fave is the fully upgraded shotgun, as it fires electric bucks. The Rivet gun is great for traps, the Spear gun becomes a sniper rifle when upgraded and there's a machine gun, rocket launcher and my beloved drill.

Actually it's not like the first game, once you're done with a level you can't go back. Kinda sucky.

Awww fuck. I'm about 1-2 hours in (at the part where you need to get Incinerate, to minimize spoilers, since that doesn't spoil anything), and was hoping to backtrack...

Indeed you will, it's a pretty compelling game! And thanks for the comments, much appreciated :)

I don't think you've missed any power to the people stations anyway... just make sure you find the one at the start of that level you're on, it's to the left before you go into Ryan Amusements.

But if you're collecting all the audio diaries it might be worth starting over and exploring thoroghly... it's up to you!

I can't afford BBC2 for a while, plus no Gold Account means no multi... but I have Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2 to keep me busy and might do reviews on them!

Eh...I'll replay it. And on the second playthough, I will press X instead of Y.

since the game is pretty linear I don't THINK you can backtrack... I haven't tried, but yes: almost all of them are missable if you aren't paying attention :p

Side Note: your avatar... It's almost hypnotic...

EDIT: dammit! stupid OP ninja!

It's okay if you missed some audio diaries, as there are more than the hundred required for the achievement. But if you wanted them purely for the history then I'm sorry.

No, they were somewhere in the middle as far as I recall. In fact, I'm pretty certain I purchased them at a gatherer's garden!
I do believe I found mine in the Gil Alexander stage.
You know, the part right before the stage, with the pool, a Little Sister vent and a "Experimental Shock Something"?
There's a locked door with a code you can open, and there's a corpse in there, as well as a Gene Tonic with that drill-EVE Hypo thing
Ah... you are probably right. My mistake. That level was annoying actually, the ADAM harvesting downstairs was tough.

Disaster Button said:
I agree with most of what you said but I always thought the Big Sister battles were amazing and really exciting, in that kind of OH SHIT OH SHIT I'm gonna die kind of way.. exhilirating would be the word I'm looking for.

The only real problem I've had is the music repeting bug but that only happened once, oh and another problem would be I can't play the damn thing now because my PC exploded.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the drill charge was satisfying, I was beginning to worry about my sanities.
It was so much fun... aim and SMASH! Blood everywhere! What's not to love?
