I've played the first Bioshock but it didn't draw me into it like this one did. The further I got into the story the further I was drawn in. This one has a very good, hearwarming, sad story but is redeemed to an extent at the end. As for the game mechanics, there wasn't anything special to it. Just like with the other games, it had elemental vespers or spells that could be cast. They kept it fun and interesting, but seemed like they weren't all that necessary. There is a point at which you use electricity as a tool, and it would have been nice to see that mechanism used for all the spells, but sadly it wasn't. This game has a lot of jumping between time and alternative timelines and it makes for a fun experience, but it adds nothing new to the genre, however what it does do with it, it does well. I had a personal connection to the characters, and it kept me going and wanting to make sure the protagonists were successful. Great Job on this game. It's been a long time since I've conquered a FPS and I'm so very glad I stuck this one out. I recommend this to anyone who want's a relatively easy experience with a great story along for the ride!
