Most gamers agree that Bioshock was one of the greatest games ever made. From the shocks to the deep storyline to the innovative gameplay to the stunning graphic effects, it was a solid game all around. Now, brace yourself for its successor, Bioshock 2. This game is one of the best games coming out in 2010. You can’t afford NOT to get it.Amazon.com Product Description

I own about 30 some PC games with DRM stuff on them. Have never onced experienced a problem, and I have installed my games multiple times. I think it’s dumb that people rate this 1 star because it has DRM on it. It doesn’t ruin the game experience. Plus if you want to conplain about installing the game, eventually, the company for most PC games I have release a patch to install the game as many times as you want. Enough with stupid people complaining(who probably have horrible PCs and play this game on low), let’s go on with the game. I’m sorta disappointed with the game. The graphics are the exact same(was expecting a little better), water is the only thing that has an improvement. The physics act weird, I heard it was an Unreal Engine thing. The story is completely random, and you could play this game without playing the first one. The idea of duel wielding with Plasmids and guns is cool, but I never really took advantage of it. The game is very repetitive! It got very boring after about the 4th level(I beat the game as well). Killing Bid Daddies to get Little Sisters, only to have each Little Sister gather ADAM about 6 times each level is very repetitive. The multiplayer didn’t really catch my attention, reminds me of Team Fortress 2 really. I hope if they release a Bioshock 3, it doesn’t take place on Rapture(Rapture is old news now).
Had to write this just to offset all the DRM bad reviews. I don’t understand people who give a game one star based on DRM. Please review the game based on the game. There’s a novel idea. This game so far is a great game. It installed with no issues DRM and all and is running fine. The graphics are a little better than BioShock, the game play is the same, so far an excellent game. If you liked BioShock you should like this.
The game requires online activation, and has an activation limit. Sorry 2K, but replacing SecuROM activation with GFW activation is not an “improvement.” Abusing and alienating your customers is not a sane business model.
Not to mention that on top of that, SecuROM is still included in the disc to “check the executable”.
I also feel the need to mention that the Bioshock series in general is a dumbed down experience compared to System Shock. They took the greatness that was System Shock 2, removed all the RPG elements, changed the setting from spaceship to underwater city, and dumbed the rest down. The general story elements were left unchanged (literally: Atlas = Shodan, and Ryan = Xerxes). All in the name of making the game “accessible to the mainstream public”.
First of all, stop giving a game poor ratings just because you dont want to deal with DRM. Rate the games you play. If you cant stand DRM then you might as well just give up on PC games.
I started playing B2 yesterday and so far it is a great game. The graphics and gameplay arent much different from the first bioshock but the story is pretty involved and keeps you interested. Is it revolutionary like the first? No.
As for the install limit. There IS NO LIMIT. After you tie your CD Key to a Games for Windows Account you create, you can use that account to install the game to as many PCs as you wish. Personally, i wish they had used the steam platform for the DRM since i find that to be the best form of the DRMs since one you tie the game to your account you never need to worry about the disc again.
For those of you that have a Problem with DRM, switch to console and stop whining about it. If you can get passed that, this is a great game.
Thanks but no thanks, I don’t mind paying for in interesting new title but I’m not going to go through more hassles with DRM paranoid games that self destruct.
