Columbia is the achievement — one of the most striking settings of its generation, with skyline traversal that gives fights genuine verticality. Elizabeth is well handled as a companion. Combat is narrower than the first BioShock: two weapons at a time, fewer environmental options, and the plasmid experimentation is largely gone.

Where it drifts furthest from Tunnel Rats: setting.

Released 4 years after Tunnel Rats.
