Both but I hope Infinite is better than both of them as well. It will be tough because 1 and 2 are great games, but I think Infinite will be amazing.

I liked Bioshock 1 better. But i also liked the second one, which was inferior to B1.

The first game was outstanding the second not so much, and as for the multiplayer thats awful. Worse lag than gears 2 ever experienced and thats saying something!

I would recommend the first game, although both wouldn't hurt your collection, the first game is only $19.99 and is a cheap buy, the story will suck you in and the deeper you get into rapture the more will love the game, the second game was not as addictive b/cc we saw it before, but it is a great game and well worth the time to play through, and i did enjoy the multi player but it was quiet laggy but its playable.

I never played Bioshock 1 or 2 yet but Bioshock 1 is in my top 5 list of games to buy next. Along with Fallout 3~~Lost Odyssey~~Borderlands~~Resident Evil 5.

It lags for everyone. You've probably just gotten used to it. 2K admits it lags horribly. Somedays it's nearly unplayable.

Exactly my thoughts The MP is very dull even if it sounds cool. Story wise bioshock 1 but if you want Mp well ya bioshock 2

I cannot believe anyone would say Bioshock 2 is worse than the first. I loved them both alot. I say if you have one you better have the other. and like everybody else, im not going to let bad comments aboutBS2thwart me from getting Infinate.

BioShock 2 was awesome. Dual wield a gun and plasmid. The plasmids also let you do more creative things with it. I also like that they added parts where you follow the Little Sister around and protect her.

Fair comment even if I dont agree. However infinite even looks bad, they are essentially copying the game into a new setting. That doesnt work any more, especially for something that specifically has a story driven narrative. This game should have ended at bioshock 2, and moved on into a new IP altogether

Both are very good games, but some of the WOW factor I felt had worn off by the time the second came around.

So far I've only played the 1st. If the 2nd has the same awesomeness and wow factor, I'd say get both then!

I love one I must of played it like 5 times to get all the achievements. I like 2 but it's kind of boring. I don't have Live so what is the multiplayer like? Do you just fight other people as big daddies in parts of Rapture?

respectfully i thought it was kind of wierd that they go from one 'unique" city under the ocean to another "unique" city floating in the sky. i think it would have been better to have the city on the moon or mars or something. But with this minor descrempacy everything else looks awesome. Bioshock infinate is going to be in my collection regardless.

Bioshock 1 is immensely better than 2. I couldn't eve manage to try a 2nd playthrough of 2. Just goes to show that the developer matters much more than the IP. I'm glad to see Irrational Studios back on Infinite and I'm pretty excited for it. :)

Bioshock 1 for sure.

Literally couldnt put it down, but 2 has taken me a while to plough through on and off- still with some great moments though and a reasonably good game, not a fan of the mp though :/

First one was better...

The second one played better, but the environments were really lame, the symbolism wasn't there, and the story didn't say anything nearly as profound as the first one.

First one. It had the mystery, the x factor.

I don't really like Bioshock 2, it's not bad but it didn't impact me like the first one did, and so I never get to finish it.

That's the point, it's set before bs1... so the storyline would be they tried to make a perfect city in the sky and (presumable) failed, so they tried again in the sea (and failed).
