Rating: 4.5/5 (2 votes cast)

It’s been quite a while since I saw a cinematic so very tragically well done. I approach all games (movies & books too, if possible) with an attitude of totally immersing myself in the characters… and realizing first person who I am, and what is happening, the sublte touches, the look in the mirror, the care for the little girl and the eerieness of the whole scene & situation, from her actions to the party, the sublte guilts and familiarities induced, and the tragic cruelty of the actions of the person using the plasmids on you to control your mind, simultaneously realizing both what’s happening and what you see and is also 100% true… all coupled with the human nature greed of the thieves and realizations that given the right context and the story from a different view it all seems justified (and indeed in the first Bioshock the bigdaddy seemed like a villain, no guilt over killing him in ingenious ways…) … shivers all through my body.

Bioshock 2 opening cinematic, 4.5 out of 5 based on 2 ratings
