The bigger unknown was how the folks at 2K Marin, founded with members who worked on the original, would handle the sequel.
The studio had been doing just that since System Shock 2.
To those who've been playing games for years now, it wasn't exactly surprising that Irrational Games made a great title. Between all the twists of plot was woven an entertaining style of gameplay in the first BioShock, making for a mix of powerful play mechanics, mood, and joy of exploration rarely seen, and one that wound up resonating with the public, making the game a critical and commercial success. It was a city so rotten and morally oblivious it spawned Little Sisters, girls who roamed Rapture's leaky halls performing the repulsive task of plunging needles into the dead and extracting and ingesting genetic material. Gradually their sanity was devoured by their unrestricted experimentation as they ripped each other to shreds and withdrew into private pockets of insanity. It was all a spectacular failure as the civilization that developed on the ocean floor turned to genetic modification.
Filling the pressurized space is a society founded by an industrialist named Andrew Ryan with the notion that there'd be no limits on what the individual could accomplish. It's set in an underwater sprawl of surface-style skyscrapers, a city called Rapture. Take a moment to consider how bizarre this game world really is.
