Being a huge fan of Bioshock, buying the DLC seemed normal, though many people may expect a DLC to be worse than the original game, the company putting less content and time into the project. This is not the case with Minerva's Den. The story is excellent, the gameplay never falters, and, best of all, it's only $10, a cheap price to pay for something so good. There isn't anything I can criticize for this add-on. The story is found in the same way as the other Bioshock's, being through audio diaries, and once again, these diaries succeed to presenting something new to the story every single time one is picked up. The diaries can be shocking, and quite interesting, giving the game more appeal. The story is overall better than Bioshock 2's, and keeps the gameplay just as fun. The damage dealt with plasmids are still entertaining and fun to wreak havoc with, and weapon upgrades and hidden plasmids are very well integrated into the game. Being as there isn't much else to say about something so brilliant, I would highly recommend it to any out there, also reminding you that it is indeed better than Bioshock 2. With a great plot, entertaining gameplay, and endless possibilities in Rapture, $10 seems like a low price to pay.
