The first BioShock 2 reviews have arrived, via both PSM3 and PC Gamer magazines... and it's good news.
PSM3 awarded the follow-up 93%, saying it "Tops the original in terms of storytelling and combat."

PC Gamer meanwhile went with a lower but still impressive score of 90%, concluding that "the mechanics that made the original BioShock such fun return, better than before," and "it's still better written than pretty much anything else out there."

Wow, good score, just reminded PSM3 gave Uncharted 2 95% and we all know how amazing it was, Bioshock 2 got score only 2% lower mean Bioshock 2 will be an awesome game

Sounds good. I felt the first Bioshock was a bit disappointing (a la flop) considering the amount of hype that encompassed it. Luckily, that's not happening with the second go-around so I doubt I'll be disappointed.

That's good. Everyone has been a little skeptical about the game and with good reason. If anyone can make a good Bioshock without Ken Levine it's the guy who made Fort Frolic.

Bio 2 will be AAA at GS as well, I have little doubt.

Yes, it was a flop in my eyes considering the hype that encompassed it--and how I came away disappointed hence the a la flop. I thought I made that very clear.

I think GS will give it a 9.0/10. I might buy the game when it's cheap, too many games coming this year.

Its good to hear the story is still good like the first one. I have a feeling MP is just going to be some side thing. I really hope theres no online trophies/achivments for this game. Since I would like to try and plat it.

Not really anticipating this one all that much. I'll probably give it a look later on down the road. Anyway, I'll say that GS will give it an 8.5.

BioShock is my best gaming experience so far this generation and I can only hope that they can pull it off without Ken. Needless to say I have VERY HIGH expectations for this sequel and I'm not the easiest to impress either so, if it lives up to my expectations, I will be impressed. Couldn't care less about the multiplayer though so I hope that the SP will hope up.

Bioshock is in my top 3 this gen. It offered an unmatched environment IMO. I'm looking forward to this followup. I predict a 8.5-9.0 here.

Didn't like the first at all. The combat was poor. The story was fine though.

Absolutely loved the first BioShock. It was highly original, and absolutely bat **** insane (if you can meet those two criteria, you've at least got some of my support), and the fact that the combat was as entertaining and hysterically violent as it was certainly didn't hurt anything.

Here's hoping for good things from the sequel.

As long as it keeps the narrative tight and the gameplay somewhat suspenseful, this will be one of my most anticipated games. The first is my favorite this generation.

Sounds good. I honestly thought Bioshock was a great game. A "dumbed" down system shock 2, but a great game.
