Hmm sounds like an 8.5 here at GS.. Is that a flop? Hype was AAA if I remember correctly.

Nice score. I have been lukewarm on this one up until this point, but I may just give it a go beings that AvP is no longer on my radar.

GS gave the first one 9.0 I am guessing a 8.5 sounds appropiate for the sequel.

The first one was good but I wasnt really into the whole style of the game i prefer more sci-fi or battlefield type FPS. Ill wait till this one gets cheap.

I knew the sequel wouldn't be as fresh or ground-breaking as the first, but a qualtiy sequel to unbelievable game is welcome in my books

What I understood from the review... you know... the words, not the number, was that the game is improved from the 1st in pretty much every way.... however since we've been to Rapture already, the trip doesn't seem as fresh/new.

Anyway... I can't wait to play through this sucka... I just finished ME2, so I'm ready for it.... is Steam going to allow us to pre-load it? Anyone know?

It only got a lower score because: 1. Graphics aren't as mind blowing as they were in 2007 2. Rapture not as mysterious and new They even said the storytelling is more focused and superior in this one.

Well this was the risk they took when making a sequel. I'm surprised it didn't get a pass. Seems like that's one game down for Mass Effect 2.

Why are the visuals lowered from the first game?? Not that it's a huge deal, just curious.

I know, it's a freaking 9.1 people! Obviously it won't score as well as the first one, not as fresh, but a 9.1 is an awesome score.

Haven't you heard, anything below a 9.5 is a flop. Oh, and if it doesn't sell 4 million + in it's first week its a commercial flop too :P

They're not lowered, probably actually a little more polished than the first one. They're just not a huge leap.

The art style for the game is awesomesauce, IMO.

Awesome! I hope that the PS3 doesn't stink because I think I'm going to get it for that. IGN didn't mention ant stark differences so I assume all versions look/run great.

He means that games in 2009 and 2010 have much better graphics compared to 2007 so that engine isn't as impressive.

Don't get BioShock 2 until you play the first one. That's all I'm going to say.
