It really wasn't my intention to be playing Bioshock 2. I was ready to pass on the game entirely and just spend this week working my way through hell. Alas, I'm doing both, and not really liking one, while mildly enjoying the other.
Bioshock 2 isn't bad. It's hard to let go of the expectations I have (and bias against) this game because of how amazing I think the first game was. It's definitely more Rapture-ous. The audio logs are nice. The managed hit all the notes of what made Bioshock Bioshock. But it seems to be missing a soul. Granted it's still early on for me, so I may fall completely in love with this, but at the very least it seems competent if not quite good.
Dante's Inferno on the other hand is largely terrible. I don't remember ever feeling so mislead from preview videos and dev diaries as I have with this game. For all the talk about how much time and effort went into designing the different circles of hell, they all seem pretty bland. And short. I'm much further along into this campaign, so I feel much more comfortable giving more definite criticisms to the game. And worst of all, it just isn't that fun.
Now, let's see if I can write a fully fleshed out opinion of that game without mentioning God of War
