9.5

Presentation A focused storyline, strong characters, clear moral choice mechanics, and a well-implemented overall cohesion of theme throughout the entire product.

Graphics Not as impressive as the first game, but the unmistakable art style prevails, making Rapture one of the visually dense and interesting settings around.

Sound The effects, music, and voice acting are all top notch and effectively reinforce the mood and feel of the world.

Gameplay A host of refinements and tweaks, from hacking to the way weapons and plasmids work, to enhance the flow of gameplay and keep you rooted in the action. A great experience from start to finish.

Lasting Appeal A top tier single-player mode that's entertaining the whole way through and a surprisingly fun multiplayer suite with plenty of unlocks and reasons to keep playing.
