The Story
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of
the past. Along the Atlantic coastline, a monster — somehow familiar, yet still quite different from anything ever seen
— has been snatching little girls and bringing them back to the undersea city. It is a Big Sister, new denizens of
Rapture who were once one of the forgotten little girls known as Little Sisters, known to inhabit the city's dank halls.
No longer a pawn used to harvest ADAM, the dangerously powerful gene-altering lifeblood of Rapture, from the bodies of
others and in turn run the risk of being harvested herself, the Big Sister is now the fastest and most powerful thing in
Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Big Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason has
reactivated. You are similar to the Big Daddies familiar from the original BioShock, but also very different in that you
possess free will and no memory of the events of the past ten years. The question is, as you travel through the decrepit
and beautiful fallen city beneath the waves, hunting for answers and the solution to your own survival, are you really
the hunter, or the hunted? Gameplay and Multiplayer
In BioShock 2 players will take on the role of the original Big Daddy, not that of game one protagonist, Jack. As a Big
Daddy you will have access to all the strengths and weapons of a standard Big Daddy, including the drill and rivet .
More importantly you also possess free will and the ability to use plasmids and gene tonics — genetic modifications
allowed for through ADAM, a stem cell harvested from conquered enemies, or sea slugs outside the Rapture air lock, and
powered by the in-game injectable serum known as EVE, which can be found, captured or purchased. Plasmids and gene
tonics provide a wide range of aggressive and passive abilities which can be upgraded and arranged for quick use. The
ability to use plasmids and tonics gives you a decided edge over other Big Daddies and most other denizens of Rapture,
excluding the powerful Big Sisters. In addition, due to their role as a Big Daddy, players will experience a new
relation to the Little Sisters. Upon defeating standard Big Daddys you are given the familiar choice as to whether to
harvest or adopt them. Harvesting gains you ADAM immediately, but could alter your path through the game, while adopting
makes you responsible for Little Sisters, who then accompany you through Rapture, but also provide aid and warning in
times of danger. Additional gameplay features include: new plasmids, weapons and the ability to combine these two.
The game also features the anticipated multiplayer modes. Several of these are team-based, allowing up to 10 players.
Within these players are provided with a rich prequel experience that expands the origins of the BioShock fiction, and
allows you to play as one of several characters pulled from Rapture's history before the events of the first game.
