Very mature approach to the themes mentioned above, but also the attractive gameplay are in fact strengths of the successor of Bioshock and make from this one a very good and solid game - discover best strategies.

The events of this game take place 10 years after the action from Bioshock. This time the story will go through the skin, or better said, the suit of Big Daddy. Taking this as a starting point, it is important to know that Rapture is still there, darker, more mysterious and more dangerous. Andrew Ryan and his era are over, the new villain is more interesting and complex, Dr. Lamb, a psychiatrist woman. She fist well into the pattern for the villain from Bioshock universe, she starts from valid moral principles, which is to put the common good before personal good and imagining a society in which all its member are working together for each other. Of course, Dr. Lamb does not succeed in making Rapture and its habitants to go on the right track, but on the contrary, she managed to form a maniacal cult of her person, its followers being the Splicers.

The graphics of the game is exceptional, so exceptional that will often stop you in the middle of the action letting you with the mouth wide open. The main exponent of this chapter is the atmosphere created by lighting and the constitution of levels. The producers haven't used cheap tricks or something like that, all is done tastefully.

The game is stable with decent loading time. It has been tested on a system with Intel E6750 processor, GeForce 8800GTS and 4GB RAM, running the game at a resolution of 1650 x 1080 with maximum details. Frame rate has remained constant during the game, enduring a smooth and normal operation.
