Bioshock 2 question

Bioshock 2 looks really sick, and I might be picking it up tomorrow. I haven't played the first Bioshock, so in terms of the story, will i be okay without knowing what happened in the first one? Please don't say the games are **** or anything like that.

BASIC SPOILER

It's set 10 years after the original, you are the original Big Daddy

END OF SPOILER

This means you probably need to know the Bioshock 1's story, or at least read the main plot online, to fully understand Bioshock 2, hope it helps...

I'm sure you'd be fine playing any sequel without playing it's predecessor, but with Bioshock the game revolves entirely around it's story. I would say pick up &play the first before the second.

Yes, they're very related. Play BioShock first! Not only is it awesome, but it's only 20 bucks too. Plus, you'll get a feel of the game's dynamics and you'll do much better in the 2nd one.

So i went to gamestop today, and they didn't have the first one, so i just picked up the 2nd one (and inFAMOUS) it's a good game, but i think i should have gotten the 1st. thanks guys
