I'm glad you didn't use the lazy old "more like an expansion pack than a sequel" routine here; that's a phrase I've already seen in several reviews for this game alone, and it's one I'm frankly sick of. I like the conclusion you came to about BioShock working better as a standalone game, and that a multiplayer expansion was really all it needed. I liked the game more than you did, but while I'm seeing some improvements most people apparently aren't, I agree that it by and large does nothing for the franchise, at least until the end, like you said. Good review, overall.

Hmm, I never really did have any issues with the Vita Chambers in either game, since I would just reload my recent save after dying. But I guess I can see the convenience for some players to have it disabled.

One of the Brutes had a diary on him, who happened to be black. Also, one of the concept art shows a black Brute in a bellhop suit.

Great review pickhut. Great insights delivered in the most succinct and no-frills manner possible. I also agree with everything you said. ^_^

I really don't see the added benefit of mentioning it in the beginning, since it works either way, so I'm fine the way it is.
