    The whole Big Daddy part, along with the way the story ties in with your character. Hopefully we'll get to find out more about the whole Big Daddy process since we got to see how they made the Little Sisters in the first one.

    I'm interested in the multiplayer too, from what I've read it sounds like a neat take (the way you unlock training videos as you rank up) on normal multiplayer plus it has the setting of Rapture.

    I'm looking forward to drilling through people's chests, having tons of little mutant girls hovering around me sucking the Adam out of my prey, only to serve me.

    I want to see the story, i thought the story in the first game was pretty cool, something unique.

    I'm installing it now :D

    Comes in a pretty nice box with decent manual.

    Edit
    Hmm, I just finished installing the retail version without a hitch, it didn't even ask for the serial number. For single player anyways, I'm sure it will check during multiplayer.

    I don't think this one does, I was reading in the Steam forums about users having to use controlling mapping software such as xpadder to get the controllers to work.

    Bioshock 1 had native support for the xbox 360 controller. Many people think that being a "Games For Windows" title means instant controller support, but that's not actually the case. That just means if the publishers have controller support, they have to support the xbox 360 controller.

    But using mapping software should work fine. :)

    Well I hope no one says "Proper widescreen support out of the box, unlike the first one" because it didn't happen. :(

    What are you talking about? They didn't attack you in the first game unless you attacked them or got too close to their Little Sister. Same goes for this one.

    Great. Why do developers do this? I mean who actually uses a 4:3 or 5:4 monitor any more with a gaming rig capable of playing this game. Those monitors and laptops were phased out like what, at least five years ago if not longer? Not only that, it's also on consoles which are designed with 16:9 in mind. I don't get it.

    I was Bio-shocked ;) after picking up the game today and surprised it does not have gamepad support.*bummer*
    Any way maybe well see some sort of patch or update in the future.
    Well I guess it's time to fire up the old desktop!
    This game looks great so far!
