Product Description
BioShock 2: Special Edition contents: - BioShock 2 game
- 12" vinyl LP with BioShock orchestral score
- Audio CD with BioShock 2 orchestral score
- 3 vintage Rapture advertisement posters (rolled)
- BioShock 2 164-page hardback artbook
The original shocked the video gaming world by not only being a great first person shooter, but also an intelligent one. Now one of the greatest stories in interactive fiction is getting another chapter, with a sequel set ten years later. You play the original Big Daddy - a more independently minded prototype to the giant deep sea divers from the first game. The undersea world of Rapture has been taken over by the mysterious Big Sister, who has begun to kidnap children from coastal cities around the world.
A much larger range of plasmid powers are now available, as well as more standard weapons and the Big Daddy's iconic rivet gun and drill. The game's real conflict is emotional though, as you are once again forced to make a decision between sacrificing Little Sisters or protecting them and making your task even harder. Bioshock 2 will make you think, and not just about tactics. - Atlas shrugged: The award-winning story-telling of Bioshock continues with a new hero and a new threat in the underwater dystopia of Rapture.
- Evolve yourself: New plasmids, including new dual-wielded attacks, let you unleash amazing powers but at the cost of your humanity.
- Cry Little Sister: As the first Big Daddy you are far faster than the other lumbering giants, but equipped with the same weapons and the ability to venture onto the ocean floor.
- Big boss: Defend yourself against the constant attacks of Big Sister by setting up traps and ambushes, but always making sure you have an escape route!
- Separate lives: For the first time Biosh

 not quite so shocking June 27, 2010
Andrew P. Kentish (uk)
the problem with bioshock 2 is the inevitable comparison to the first one. this is somewhat unfair in the sense that the first was a fairly original concept. to follow up with somthing original would by definition not be bioshock in any real sense regarding gameplay or setting as that too would also have to be original.
one of the things i found regarding the little sisters was the graphics of them had been adjusted somewhat. instead of being quite cutesy and twanging on my parental heart strings at the thought of killing them to retrieve maximum slug juice, i found them quite scary looking and fairly ugly. the consequence of this was that i wasnt so bothered about the morality of letting them die as i was in the first game. ugly kids just dont have the emotional impact of cute ones!!
the game itself is still fun. the images given of rapture prior to its downfall are quite stunning too adding a nice dimension.
with regard to the online gameplay, i did play this when i first recieved the game as i preordered it and it arrived before the official release date. this added a little extra for me as i got to play with those others who had the game early too. other than this i am not such a fan of online play anyway so it dosnt bother me too much having it at all. i guess its a little bit of childlike snobbery whereby my system states the last time i played it was prior to its release.
on to the package.
it arrived in a fairly big box which is always nice to open a BIG present!!
the little handprints in the form of a butterfly on the inner box is a very cool touch and i wish i had thought of it to do as an art project myself.
the posters are a nice touch, as is the vinyl LP (that means long play to anyone born within the cd era). i cant say i have listened to it because i have no record player, however, the retro feel is nice and it is a heavy grade vinyl too just like the old 78's.
the biggest dissappointment for me was the music cd. whilst i appriciate the talents of modern classical composers, for me the excitement was around listening to the old time bands such as the inkspots. the period music was a huge part of the atmostphere for me yet not one on the cd whatsoever.i understand these are availible for ipod download. such a shame as i dont have an ipod. one redeeming feature is that the cd looks like a tiny vinyl record which is quite fun.
the art book is pretty if you like art books. not really my thing but i do appriciate the effort and talent involved.
overall it is an extremely nice package with a good follow up game. i paid full price thinking these packages would be swept up very quickly. had i known there would be some availible now i would have waited. saying that though i was pleased with what i received for what i paid, therefore this is an absolute bargain to which i am tempted to buy another one and leave it sealed in its box for my grandson to sell on when he is older.....hmmmmm time to place an order i think. speculate to accumulate...
 Ok, But Buy The 1st Instead/First May 19, 2010
Robert Lawrence (Wales)
As a package, you will not find a better 'Collectors Edition'. This just ooozes class. i bought this when it was first released for £60, and was VERY pleased, so at £30, get in there!!
As for the actual game, well, although it's ok, I just felt a bit 'meh' about it all. The 1st is just so much better in every aspect except, obviously, online multiplayer, it has none.
There are no stand out moments in the sequel, well, except for meeting Father Wales, a proper Welsh games character, must be a first?
The levels feel all too linear, and the weapons don't excite, and neither do the new plasmids.
As i write this though, I do think I'm being perhaps a little harsh, I do love how they expanded upon the whole 'Little Sisters' side of the game, it was great to see the World through their eyes...
So in conclusion, the game is worth playing, and the Collectors Edition is definately worth buying, so what are you waing for?!
A great play - Rapture is the best! March 19, 2010
David Waker
Bioshock 2 is amazing to play. They have upped the combat system and have made more interesting plasmid upgrades.
In bioshock 2 you play the role of one of the original prototype big daddies who must find his little sister.
There is much more of a focus on preparing for battles rather than going in a killing everything in sight (which you still can do)
Bioshock 2 also has a very engaging and rewarding multiplayer game. It is set before the fall of Rapture and is interesting to hear all of the characters different messages throught Rapture.
The special edition of the game is for anyone who is a big fan, and in my opinion definitely worth the extra money!
The only thing about bioshock 2 is that there is now sense of "new". No sense of excitment, we have already been to Rapture before, we are familiar with the cold, dank, wet and dark corridors the splicers inhabit.
A great 1st person shooter. Not for the faint hearted or the scared though. The story line lacks from the first game, but all in all a very good sequal to something no-one thought they could top.
 Great game although it doesn't surpass the first iteration in the series. March 13, 2010
P. Drew (UK)
Ah Bioshock, the original game was a lovely experience with a fresh setting and time period, amazing characters and a plot twist which ranks amongst the best in gaming history.
So how does its sequel rank up? Rather well, I'd say.
Although there have been some changes to the overall gameplay mechanics, the most obvious being the ability to dual-wield plasmids and weapons at once, plus the research and hacking methods have been changed to be more streamlined and less interruptive of the gameplay flow, the basic fun gameplay is still there from the original.
Whilst Rapture is no longer a new, unique setting never seen before, it's interesting to see new areas of the city after a long period of decay and there's enough variation to keep the game going throughout its lifespan. The new characters, whilst pretty well developed, fail to live up to the standards left behind from the first game and don't deliver the impact of Ryan or Cohen but still remain interesting enough, although certain characters will prove to be irritating, although it seems they were designed that way.
Overall the new additions and changes have made the gameplay work faster and less clunky than the original, although the characters and story don't quite live up to the standards set by its predecessor. Bioshock has a great story and stands alone well as an individual game, Bioshock 2 on the other hand, has a different type of story with a different set of morales, and this is where it succeeds. Whilst not as effective as some recent games when it comes to your choices changing what happens, the selection of endings available are indeed affected by what you do in the game, and there is a pretty major difference. Not only that, but this time around the endings are another one of the improvements from the first game and feel a lot more fluent, rather than tacked-on.
The other major addition is online multiplayer which, like a lot of games, it felt the need to add an online mode despite it not being necessary. Whilst it has one of the better multiplayer modes out there and actually boasts its own story, it does get a little tiresome when you get to the higher levels and starts to get heavily repetitive, plus some of the late-game equipment is overpowered and unbalanced compared to the pretty well balanced selection in the lower half of the ranks.
And then we come down to the goodies that come with the special edition. I have to say, this is easily one of the best special editions released this generation, the box looks lovely with the handprint-butterfly design linking with the game itself and is sturdy and designed to fit the contents perfectly. The soundtrack for the first game on Vinyl appears to be good quality, although I've yet to use my friends' record player so I can't really comment on how it sounds, plus having the soundtrack for the second game on CD is a good inclusion and, as with the first game, Garry Schyman creates an impressive selection of compositions for the game. The posters look great and certainly capture the feel of Rapture's advertising and look great on the wall, plus the Deco Devolution artbook is full of lovely full colour concepts and notes from the creators about practically everything in the game, and some things that didn't make it in, all at a good size and on good quality paper.
About the Collectors Edition March 4, 2010

Well, the game is a hit. That we all know about.
Now, the Collectors Edition is worthy to buy for many reasons: First of all, the art-book is gorgeous. It is a serious thing when you are given this kind of art in such a good presentation. Hard cover, beautiful design, heaps of art inside, and a glance through the creation process given by the creators of the game. Just flipping the pages, you can see how much love there's put on it.
But you haven't dryed your emotion tears when you discover the OSTs from Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2, both of them for your delight. The first one is a beautifull piece. It is a vinyl LP (let me say that again: VINYL LP) and includes all of the musics we all enjoyed and learnt to fear while playing the game. Same with the CD from Bioshock 2. All the music is beautiful, but I will drag your atention into the details of the edition because that's worth seeing (the vinyl's box even includes the Rapture Records seal on it).
Still, there's more. This edition includes three posters, replica of those you will find hanging on the walls of Rapture through the game. The three of them are such a beautiful pieces, with 1950-60's looking designs and oozing a sense of greatness coming from when Rapture was something BIG (Andrew Ryan's electoral poster is my favorite).
And then, there's the luxury box it all comes in. With an splendid design and delightful detail, all of the items preciously presented.
Seriously, you can't miss this one if you're a real Bioshock fan.
