Doesn't make sense to be one cause a review copy is intended to be delivered amongst certain game media that are supposed to make conclusions out of it and write down a review based on what's seen in the review copy. And when the reviewers see the graphics haven't changed a bit compared to the first game and at times even look horrid the final overall game rating will ebb away slightly.
I think that's the final code of it.

After three hours gametime I like it. The graphics are better when you get used to them. Some textures didn't improve much, but the lighting, water effects, plasmids etc. are better than Bioshock 1. It looks better in motion really, so I won't take screens. Graphics do look a bit more cartoony though. Was this announced?
The gameplay is Bioshock one, but improved. So it'll be better if you liked the first game, but more of the same if you hated it. I don't feel weak, I'm playing on normal. I took out the Big Daddy and Big Sister without dying. The game can be as fun as you make it (yeah cliche  ). If you use one plasmid and one weapon the entire game, it'll be boring and crap.
I like it. It's slightly better than Bioshock. Though a bit early, I'd rate it a 8.5 (first one was 8/10 imo).

You can't make it fun 'cause you die A LOT if you won't use freeze+armor penetrating minigun when 2 Sisters are attacking you.
I've deleted the SP folder and i 'll never launch/copy/install it again.
I'll be playing the mp though, it works separately.
Even if you vary plasmids and weapons, you wont enjoy it much, cause it becomes a drag after 5 hours, especially if you've completed bio1 before.

What should they do? Force you to switch plasmids? It's your own choice, incinerate and shock are effective against sisters too. No one's saying you absolutely have to use freeze.

Try it against two of them at the same time.
Or later try it against a shitload of waves attacking you.

What does that have to do with anything? Just because you take the easy way and use freeze only, does not mean you should compain about using one plasmid. Again, no one's forcing you to use that specific plasmid against every sister. If the sisters were immune to all other things it would be valid, but they burn just as good as they freeze.

Hi,
Using Windows 7. I replaced the launcher files under the MP and SP folders, but when I click to start the game, it crashes to the desktop. Any ideas? Thanks!
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: Bioshock2Launcher.exe
Application Version: 0.1.0.0
Application Timestamp: 48c7f3a1
Fault Module Name: StackHash_0a9e

Looking at the ini files, consoles got ultrahigh lightmaps?
Changing wont do shit though, auto reset to medium.
| Code: | Pc highest settings:
TextureDetailInterface=Normal
TextureDetailTerrain=Normal
TextureDetailWeaponSkin=Normal
TextureDetailPlayerSkin=Normal
TextureDetailWorld=Normal
TextureDetailRenderMap=Normal
TextureDetailLightmap=Normal
Console settings:
TextureDetailInterface=Normal
TextureDetailTerrain=Normal
TextureDetailWeaponSkin=Normal
TextureDetailPlayerSkin=Normal
TextureDetailWorld=Normal
TextureDetailRenderMap=Normal
TextureDetailLightmap=UltraHigh

Try changing the option then switching the file attribute to read-only.

UltraLow, Low, Normal or Low, Medium, Normal are the choices, UltraHigh doesn't do anything just as with Bioshock1 (Covered on tweakguides and other places.)

Thats not the problem with the player. Developers are the one to blame because they don't force you to use different powers. Immagine Diablo where first sword that you got would remain the most powerfull through whole game.
And making it work really isn't hard. For example they can just clone one enemy type and make one resistant to fire and one to ice.

And the whole matchmaking system gives you LAGFEST games.

I felt really bad when little sister was harvesting for the 24th(or 20, well, the last) time.
It becomes too repetetive and boring.

For those with the APPCRASH problem:
The problem is with the latest nvidia beta drivers. Download to the latest whql driver from nvidia.com, worked for me....

I have catalyst 9.11 installed, (latest drivers that dont give me problems) and the game gives me blue screen everytime with atikmdag.sys error, vista64. It's times like this that I am glad I don't buy majority of games before trying.
