The Tale
Set approximately 10 years after the events of the original BioShock, the halls of Rapture once again echo with sins of the past. By the side of the Atlantic coastline, a monster ? somehow familiar, yet still quite different from anything ever seen ? has been snatching small girls and bringing them back to the undersea city. It is a Huge Sister, new denizens of Rapture who were once one of the forgotten small girls known as Small 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 Huge Sister is now the fastest and most powerful thing in Rapture. You, on the other hand are the very first Huge Daddy, in fact the prototype, that for some reason has reactivated. You are similar to the Huge 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 owing to the decrepit and gorgeous 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 Huge Daddy, not that of game one protagonist, Jack. As a Huge Daddy you will have access to all the strengths and weapons of a standard Huge Daddy, including the drill and rivet gun. More importantly you also possess free will and the ability to use plasmids and gene tonics ? genetic modifications allowed for owing to 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 bought. Plasmids and gene tonics grant 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 chose edge over other Huge Daddies and most other denizens of Rapture, excluding the powerful Huge Sisters. In addition, due to their role as a Huge Daddy, players will experience a new relation to the Small Sisters. Upon defeating standard Huge 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 owing to the game, while adopting makes you responsible for Small Sisters, who then accompany you owing to Rapture, but also grant 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.
