What is so good about this game?

I played the game and I could not finish it. It just seemed tedious and repetitive to me. I almost never had any ammo and the Little Sister thing was just terrible in my opinion. If you like Bioshock 2 I do not dislike you. You even might have better taste in video games than me but can somebody explain to me why do some people enjoy it more than Bioshock 1 and Bioshock Infinite? And please do not start a flame war.

Personally, its my favourite Bioshock game. While it may not have been for everyone, to me it was the perfect sequel. It ironed out all the things I didn't like about Bio 1 and improved every thing it did right. I just happen to find it much more enjoyable. I like the story in because I like the idea of a guy desperatly trying to find his daughter while someone stops him, also, the best ending is the only ending to any game to even bring me close to tears. This also happens to be the first Bio game I ever played so it holds a special place in my heart

BioShock 2 is my favourite amongst the BioShock games. Not a popular opinion, but mine none the less. :)

I think BioShock 2 is the game where overall gameplay is simply the best. I can't say I miss the crafting in BioShock 1, and I prefer the QTE hacking.
The story in BioShock 2 also differs a lot from the other two BioShock games. Where as in 1 & Infinite, the story is quite a lot more philosophical; it's about societies and circumstances as well as the consequences of it.
BioShock 2 on the other hand is more about the people living under such circumstances, and it focuses more on their lives. The story is more of a romantic one (yet father/daughter instead of lover/lover). Hard to pull off well, but I say they've managed it!

And that is why I like BioShock 2 the best.

That's exactly what I love about it :D

I didn't find it tedious or repetitive, and playing as a Big Daddy felt great in my opinion. As for the Little Sisters, you can take them directly to a vent and then it's almost like the original BioShock. Personally, I liked defending them, I felt like a protector.

As for the story, it was very good in my opinion. It's interesting that in the previous game, it was all about the main character having no real free will, while in this game, you could say it's the other way around: Delta is, for all intents and purposes, a thinking human being, and that, in my opinion, is even better considering that he was supposed to be one of the mindless brutes defending the Little Sisters.

I don't know, it just felt more personal to me, and that's why I loved it.
