BioShock 2 gameplay preview

A fresh narrated walkthrough of BioShock 2 shows off some of the game’s exciting new features. While not strictly divulging any spoilers (most of the details given were featured earlier previews and screenshots), this latest preview offers a look at the sequel from the perspective of BioShock 2 creative director Jordan Thomas, who also served as level designer on the original game.

In the nine-minute walkthrough, Thomas talks about playing the game as a Big Daddy. Not only will you have the Big Daddy’s classic drill arm, but you’ll also have access to plasmids. The ocean, which Thomas describes as an important element of Rapture in the original BioShock, plays a big role in the sequel.

As reported earlier, Little Sisters are a central part of Bioshock 2. You now have the ability to harvest or adopt the creepy little girls. If you adopt a Little Sister, she’ll lead you to ADAM. But be careful letting her collect the ADAM she finds, as a horde of splicers will come looking for her and it’s up to you to protect her.

Finally, Thomas talks briefly about one of the game’s biggest additions – Big Sisters. He says they are constantly watching over you, and from the preview, it looks like they are even more powerful and agile than the Big Daddy’s from the original.
