I thought he'd rant on the Big Sister a little bit more but oh well and he did't ever mention the Brute Splicer which I think is the most annoying enemy in the whole game, even more annoying than the Alpha series since they can come in at any time and the Alpha series usually come in at predetermined times. Nice review Yahtzee!

Maybe I'm on my own actually liking the defending the little sister while she milking the corpse dry. Setting up traps, and just sitting back watching the splicers get posted to a wall burning with the Rivet Gun's highest upgrade...
That said the plot was nothing special (I ignored it after the first or second monologue once it was obvious she was just the polar opposite of Ryan). Also the collectible recordings were a big let down.
Alright review, not laugh out loud funny. But okay.

Well done, Yahtzee. While the rest of the journalistic community half-arsedly admit that BS2 is just an empty cash-in by nervously tweaking their score to 8/10, you tell it how it is.
The only thing more predictable than the review are peoples responses.
The only parts I agree with is that the Big Sisters should be more annoyed with you harvesting than saving, it would make those trying to get more ADAM (aka, the easier option) have something to worry about in return. The other part is that it was a little odd how they still allowed you to eat/drink/smoke, I never got that decision.
If you are going to ***** about the story then how about knowing it first, half the complaints made are explained and he says that Sophia Lamb's voice is annoying but didn't complain about it in Gears of War 2 where it's the same actress using the same voice.

the whole undertone of WHHHHYYYYYYYYY in the video pretty much sums up how I felt when i heard they were coming out with a sequel.
I thought I had misheard and perhaps it would be a prequel...but no.
Playing as a big daddy seemed so forced, and the first game ended where it should have.

would you shoot alcoholic beverages at your enemies until they die, and play that little tune you get when you exit it?BlueInkAlchemist said:
I suppose dumbing down the Big Daddy's is the equivilent of a kill switch? Don't make them too strong or too smart so they don't bite your frakkin' head off...Though considering they're one of three enemies in the game at actually pose a threat, they're not that much of a walkover.42forlife said:
I have only one niggle with the review - The chances of Tranmere Rovers scoring 3 goals? Bwahahahahahaha!!!
Oh, and different types of endings = evil forced-replay scourge upon the earth. Damn things.

Just like the SSBB review, funny making fun of something I enjoyed but then again it's your opinion I loved Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 is also on my favorite games of the year list. Oh and by the way I feel like this next remark is equaly as dangerous as wearing a star of David at a skin head meeting but, what about the multiplayer section?
