	John_Doe posted 21/12/2010, 07:46 Its selling faster, it will end clearly over one million, maybe 1,5 Message \| Report
	Salem posted 14/11/2010, 05:06 It did outsell the first, hopefully one day it will pass 1 mil Message \| Report
	AdventWolf posted 04/11/2010, 08:26 This game definitely deserves more sales, the bioshock series is awesome. Message \| Report
	vr6GOLFr32 posted 30/05/2010, 02:47 I really hope to see this game break a million sales because it definitely deserves it. I was jealous when Bioshock wasn't making an appearance at the same time as the 360 version did but now that it's a multiplatform title, it deserves the sales. Message \| Report
	Pho_Hybrid posted 27/05/2010, 05:42 hey it sold 5k more from last time I checked :P keep going! Message \| Report
	akuseru posted 08/05/2010, 06:45 woooow. this week it only sold 500 copies though ^^ compared to 8.000 on 360 =) guess I was deadly wrong ^^ ahhaha Message \| Report
	akuseru posted 06/05/2010, 05:11 Love the PS3 sales for this game. Despite the sort of lukewarm reception of the first game, the PS3 fanbase seems to embrace good sequels and expand the userbase for games on the PS3. This gives developers incentive to make games for the PS3 when they see a growing fanbase for their games. The sales are a lot better than the 360 version where they are experiencing a 50% reduction in fanbase so far. Of course it will still sell, but sales seems kinda stale atm. I think switching dev teams hurt the title a bit, especially amongst 360 players (the "hardcore" Bioshock fans who couldn't wait for the game to go multi). Message \| Report
	Pho_Hybrid posted 01/05/2010, 03:46 Bought it, good sales for the PS3 version :P Message \| Report
	haxxiy posted 27/04/2010, 11:51 Outsold by the first one this week in Americas. Message \| Report
	ylowbstard posted 19/03/2010, 08:17 Expected sales due to the fact that just about everyone who bought the first game on PS3 has bought #2 aswell! The sales are identicle right now! Message \| Report
	brazylianwisnia posted 17/03/2010, 07:01 i would love 3rd part before crash in Rapture when all city was normal and just started with plasmids.Working for gangs or something.seeing normal life in this city would be exciting. Message \| Report
	jester2358 posted 15/03/2010, 07:42 an eventual 1 million seller Message \| Report
	Squall_Leonhart posted 23/02/2010, 07:33 Just finished the game and loved it hope that they make a 3rd one set in the city... possibly set when all the madness was just beginning! Message \| Report
	Doobie_wop posted 23/02/2010, 03:40 Eveytime I finish a Bioshock game, I feel empty, like no other game can compete until the next installment. Meh, I guess Dead Space 2 will be close enough. Message \| Report
	Alasted posted 23/02/2010, 02:31 @Squall_Leonhart: That's happening on the PS3 version, too? Bummer. On one of my 360 playthroughs, my natural camouflage tonic also got glitched. That really sucked, since that meant I couldn't take leisurely sips of Cognac between firefights anymore. Oh well. It's a good game regardless. Message \| Report
	Squall_Leonhart posted 21/02/2010, 08:15 The game is great, at the end at the moment but not liking the glitch in the game that is preventing me from being able to use the chameleon tonic Message \| Report

	Munkeh111 posted 21/02/2010, 11:20 Good start, and another 1m seller eventually Message \| Report
	Ghazi4 posted 19/02/2010, 11:16 @okeydoker LOL plus the campaign is kick ass but i didnt really like the MP Message \| Report
	challis posted 18/02/2010, 02:10 @Gearbox. Yes, I figured that one out on my own. The game play is still somewhat clunky, and selecting ammo/weapons in a fight is a pain. I don't want to slam the game, Bioshock 2 is good, enjoyable, but the first one was fresher and better. Message \| Report
	Gearbox posted 18/02/2010, 01:22 @challis - ugh its called the options menu :P and i was not a big fan of this one. first one was wayyyy better Message \| Report
	challis posted 17/02/2010, 02:37 Loved the first Bioshock (on Xbox). I find Bioshock 2 quite frustrating. Game should use the same fire button (R1) as most games. Control scheme is quite clunky in a fight. Gathering Adam, especially 2nd time is a drag. Perhaps game will grow on me as I play more.... Message \| Report
	snyperdud posted 16/02/2010, 08:56 Amazing game. Definitely a worthy sequel to Bioshock. 9.6/10 Message \| Report
	Squall_Leonhart posted 16/02/2010, 05:28 Loving this game at the moment! The Big Sister's are insane lol Message \| Report
	--OkeyDokey-- posted 16/02/2010, 01:21 I can't believe how long this is taking to install. I had a drink, masturbated, came back and it's still going! Message \| Report
	Ghazi4 posted 15/02/2010, 05:24 ok this review convinced me i was having a hard job choosing wat to buy :P BIOSHOCK 2 UR COMING HOME WITH ME SOON! Message \| Report
	Gearbox posted 08/02/2010, 09:36 the multi seems half assed. ill rent this. because i already know its not better then the first. metalgearmatt - play the first game its gonna be way better Message \| Report
	ps3-sales! posted 26/01/2010, 01:55 Just put $30 down on it. I'm hoping the single player wasn't half-assed to add in multi. Message \| Report

	ninjascroll posted 14/05/2009, 11:52 @metalgearmatt There is lots of stuff going on. I don't think I can sum it up in only 1-2 sentences. Underwater super city+Superpowers=supergoodtime. Its pretty open design and its got enough variety to keep you entertained for the whole play though. Reminded me of fallout3 but more focused. Message \| Report
	metalgearmatt posted 19/04/2009, 03:31 Can someone give me a breif summary on the first game? (Not Wikipedia.) Message \| Report
	kersed3 posted 06/04/2009, 02:35 lol... theres 7 comments but it says only 5 hits. Pretty sure they just write down random numbers for the hits. I've visited this page 8 times in the past week, and they didnt update it Message \| Report
