I'm thinking about getting it and the original today, so uhh, what's so exciting about it? When I ask my friends, they don't go into much detail. :L They're just like "You got to get it, it's amazing" and I'm like "k." The only thing I really know is that you're underwater, and in the second you play as a Big Daddy or whatever.
Great FPS, great story, lotsa twists, and if you like those kinda games that startle you, then Bioshock is pretty good for that too. (Although, the second one isn't really startling). But once you play the first one, you'll wanna play the second one
I haven't played the second one, but the first one is probably the best in my opinion. The first one is "scary" from the first level. And considering the first is only like $20 (on PS3 as far as I know), you should definitely get that one
I too was thinking about possibly getting it. I doubt I will now due to the fact I got Just Cause 2 last week, but the adverts did look interesting. Just Cause 2 is absolutely amazing by the way, if any of you are thinking about purchasing it, I would highly recommend it.
