ive been seriously thinking about this for a week. I dont know which one to get. I really like heavy rain's deep story, but I love bioshock 1, and im sure bioshock 2 will be better. Which one are you getting?

I'm going to get Bioshock 2 first because I'm a big fan of the original and this one looks really cool too. I'll probably get Heavy Rain eventually but for now it's all Bioshock 2.

the main problem i have with this is they both have really great stories, and Heavy Rain looks really intriguing. What really convinced my to getting bioshock 2 is that the designer of Fort Frolic is making the game, so im pretty confident of Bioshock 2

well im gonna get both games. i already know that. but if i were you i would get bioshock 2 cuz youre already familiar with it and sounds you know you liked the first so it shouldnt be too different. get heavy rain later when you can.

One thing I wanna know is how good is Bioshock 2's multiplayer, I know the single player's gunna be good but hopefully the multiplayer is good too.

Can't wait for Heavy Rain. I wasn't going to buy a new game for awhile, but dammit Heavy Rain just sold me.

I'm not so sure about Bioshock 2. I loved the first, one of my favorites, but I'm not sold on this one. Looks like more of the same with slight improvements. And they got rid of the little "Circus of Values!" sound effects. :(

Different does not mean better. Bioshock is still unique and a proven commodity.

Bioshock 2. I like the originality of Heavy Rain and want to support that artistic vision but Bioshock 2 is a safer choice and I enjoyed the first game. I am going to rent Heavy Rain though

Yeah it's 2K Marin making this one. 2K Boston (Irrational Games) made Bioshock.

I'm much more excited for Irrational's new game.

Which am I getting? Both!

BioShock 2 CE (PC) on day one, and Heavy Rain CE (HMV import) on day one.

I think I'll do Heavy Rain, just because it's something different for a change and it goes some where other than the standard Madden way.

I'm buying both so that probably doesn't help you too much :P I'm probably more anticipating Heavy Rain (although its ridiculously close) so if I could only pick 1 that would probably be it.

these are two VERY different games. its hard to just recommend one of the other. you need to just do your own research on it.

Velocity

I don't know, you can play each character's side of the story, and each playthrough is supposedly about 10 hours or so. 10 X 4 = 40 hours.

I could never really get into the original Bioshock...probably won't be picking up the second.

But if you enjoyed the first, i'd definately pick up B2.

Oh please... ! Both of course! It's like saying, next month,God Of War3 (an exclusive) or Final Fantasy13? People say they are both great games so if you need to kill off a game, kill another!
