BioShock 2
BioShock 2
BioShock 2, développé par 2K Marin et édité par 2K Games, est un jeu de tir à la première personne sorti le 9 février 2010 sur PlayStation 3, Windows et Xbox 360, une version OS X étant ensuite proposée par Feral Interactive le 30 mars 2012. Suite directe du premier opus, le titre plonge le joueur dans la cité sous-marine dystopique de Rapture, huit ans après les événements initiaux, et propose d'incarner le sujet Delta, un prototype de Big Daddy en quête de réunion avec la Petite Sœur Eleanor à travers une ville devenue encore plus dangereuse. Outre une campagne solo où l'on affronte des Splicers avec armes et modifications génétiques, le jeu intègre un mode multijoueur narratif situé durant la guerre civile de Rapture, avant la chute de la cité. La presse a salué l'amélioration globale des armes, plasmides et ennemis ainsi que la reconduction réussie de l'esthétique et du récit, tandis que certains joueurs expriment le plaisir de revisiter Rapture sous un nouveau personnage, même si d'autres signalent des difficultés techniques de lancement sur certaines versions. Le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 88 et un prix de 2,99 euros.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The weapons are better. The plasmids are better. The enemies are better. At some points, even the storytelling is better. What’s most amazing and surprising about BioShock 2, however, is that by diving deeper into Rapture’s tortured history and exploring more of Rapture’s haunted world, it actually manages to make the original BioShock better, too. »
« Still, BioShock 2 not only re-captures the dystopian aesthetic, gripping narrative, and deep gameplay of Irrational's original, but it actually greatly improves on the BioShock experience as a whole, fine-tuning what made Jack's voyage to Rapture such a memorable experience two years ago. »
« If BioShock 1 is ultimately about what it is to be a slave, the sequel shows – with a sophistication rarely seen in gaming – what it is to be a parent, with the power to love or to harm. »
« A sequel that surpasses the original. The folks at 2K have delivered a game with more emotional and intellectual punch than the original game although you might feel a bit dirty for enjoying the game so much. »
« The thrilling single player lives up to the standards originally set by the predecessor and the addition of a very strong multiplayer takes Bioshock 2 to another level. It may be too soon to call Game of the Year, but Bioshock 2 is certainly a contender and a very strong one at that. »
« A thrilling story, inspired new characters and environments, refined gameplay and yes, even the multi-player, make diving back into the Atlantic an easy decision. »
« BioShock 2 isn't a groundbreaking follow-up that rewrites all the rules laid down by its predecessor. No, think of it as a sequel that fills in the gaps, adding exciting new dimensions to what's come before... You will be utterly absorbed. [Mar 2010, p.68] »
« As far as single player goes, I think nothing will capture the initial highs you got from taking in Rapture for the first time, and the enormous twist the original delivered. However, the sequel’s story is just as intense and has its own narrative highs and a mean twist of its own, and I think the end payoff is a bit more impactful and sinks in better than the ending of the first BioShock. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Un immense plaisir de retourner dans Rapture dans la peau d'un nouveau personnage, la ville est toujours un plaisir à traverser et explorer. J'ai également apprécier le fait que le jeu nous laisse la possibilité d'épargner ou non certains PNJ modifiant un peu les évènements. Cependant ce qui fait que cette suite est, à mes yeux, moins bonnes que le premier jeu est l'histoire qui est pour moi moins intéressante à suivre que dans le 1er Bioshock. Les + - Univers - Immersion - Choix à faire Les moins - Histoire moins intéressante »
« One of the best games I have ever played rich story amazing design love the series love the combat love EVERYTHING A STUPIDLY GOOD GAME »
« Bioshock 2 tiene un buen inicio pero es un calco al 1, se me hizo aburrido y repetitivo, no lo termine de jugar por qué me dió paja. Pero el juego no está tan mal, nada más que el 1 es muy superior y este parece un DLC del 1. »
« Some time passed since I played the first game, and I did struglle in the **** what a game! Awsome gameplay, good story, good DLC. The endings make sense »
« Bioshock 2 is extremely underappreciated and has everything i could have wanted out of a bioschock sequel. It doesnt try anything new with the setting or story but rather irons out all the janky parts from the first game; plasmids and guns can be used at the same time, theres no more categories of tonics allowing for some crazy builds, the hacking is now in real time and much easier, the selecton of levels is much more consistent overall and the gunplay got some much needed weight added to it. This game was never gonna live up to what made the first game so special, but that was also never what i wanted from it. »
« Amei jogar como amei jogar os outros 2, dizem que ele é inferior a o primeiro e ao último, mas nd a ver l, esse é incrível com inimigos marcantes. »
« I have not played that much of this game so It's not really a fair review, but at the same time my lack of interest in continuing is telling. Mechanics that fit perfectly into the first games story and themes just don't make sense anymore in this new context. Dr Lamb is interesting but none of the other characters stand out to me. Using both guns and plasmids at the same time is great update and kind of baffling how it wasn't in the first. The drill is cool. »
« Better than the already amazing first game in all aspects. Simply near perfect in everything. »
