About this product

Product Information

Return to the underwater city of Rapture in this anticipated sequel to 2007's critically acclaimed first-person shooter. Set approximately ten years after the events in the original, BioShock 2 casts you in the surprising role of a "Big Daddy," the prototype for the lumbering giants encountered in the first game. Your nemesis is, fittingly enough, a leader of the "Big Sisters," who plans on returning Rapture to its former glory. The Big Sisters are forming a new army of minions by snatching unsuspecting girls from the surface. Your goal is to put an end to the sinister scheme. Unlike the Big Daddies from BioShock 2's predecessor, you are more agile and have the ability to use plasmids to augment your deadly drill and rivet gun.<br><br>Thanks to the Big Daddy's distinctive diving suit, you can also explore the briny depths outside of Rapture, but you won't necessarily be alone. Radio communication from Dr. Tennenbaum will keep you apprised of key developments, while Little Sisters can either be harvested for their powers or "adopted." The latter option has them tagging along to warn you of impending dangers or alert you to potential sources for more plasmids. BioShock 2 also features a multiplayer component developed by Digital Extremes. Multiplayer games take place prior to Rapture's fall, offering a new take on a familiar setting. Experience points earned during multiplayer combat can be used to unlock new weapons, plasmids, and gene tonics to customize characters.<br><br>The BioShock 2: Special Edition includes three posters, a 164-page hardcover art book, and the orchestral score on both CD and vinyl LP.

  • Among the best Collector's Editions of any game

    BioShock 2 continues what the original started in excellent gameplay and overall quality. Any fan of the series must have this Special Edition of the game. Included in this special edition are as follows: -A standard copy of BioShock 2 -A vinyl LP of BioShock's original soundtrack (titled "I am Rapture, Rapture is Me") -An audio CD of BioShock 2's original soundtrack (titled "Sounds from the Lighthouse) -Rapture propaganda posters -Exclusive hardcover art book of BioShock 2 (titled "Deco Devolution") Everything included is of the highest quality a gamer could ask for. The LP sounds amazing and fits the story's narrative. While the audio CD does not come in a jewel case as most CDs do, it comes packaged in a sleeve that is very similar to the LPs sleeve. This was most likely done on purpose since the CD is also designed to look like a record. The CD quality is excellent as well, and is nice to listen to while driving about at dusk. The art book included is one of the better video game art books I have seen. It truly goes into detail about the art and design of characters, weapons, and locations, as well as provides interesting information that one could not read elsewhere. The propaganda posters are styled to fit the game's 1950-60s timeline. They come rolled, not folded, making them easy to be framed without creases. There are also apparently hidden messages on them that can only be viewed with a special light. This Special Edition was made with the fans in mind. It is truly worth the money you spend on it, and does not include the usual generic special/collector's edition items other lower quality special editions have. Kick back and throw its record on turntable while flipping through the pages of the art book. You will not regret this purchase.
