BioShock 2
BioShock 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by 2K Marin and Irrational Games for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles, and the Windows operating system.
It is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2007 video game BioShock. The game is scheduled for simultaneous release on February 9, 2010.
The game is set in fictional dystopian city Rapture in alternative history 1970, a decade after the events of BioShock.
The protagonist and player-controlled character is a Big Daddy, a being that has had its organs and skin grafted into an atmospheric diving suit.
Among the first of its kind, the player-controlled Big Daddy reactivates with no recollection of the past decade’s events, and scours the city in a vain attempt to relocate the Little Sister that he was paired with.
When it becomes obvious that Rapture’s leader Sofia Lamb will become responsible for the city’s destruction, the Big Daddy attempts to overthrow Lamb and her army of Big Sisters.
Gameplay
The player takes the role of “Subject Delta”, a prototype for the Big Daddies seen in the original game and the first Big Daddy to be successfully bonded with a Little Sister.
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 as well as some other weapons found across Rapture.
However, in a new addition, it is now possible to perform a melee attack with every weapon in the game. The weapons in the game will have several types of ammo, similar to the first game.
Additionally, in contrast to other Big Daddies, the player may also use plasmids, while “upgrade trees” will provide unique ways to upgrade them. A new feature added is the ability to dual-wield plasmids or weapons at the same time.
Further Big Daddy abilities found in the first game, such as performing a shoulder dash, will also be an option.
