Superb DLC for Bioshock 2. While I thought I knew where the story was going, I was completely subverted in the best possible way. It's not a long experience, but it doesn't overstay its welcome either. The story still feels like Bioshock, but now with an emphasis on Porter's story than Rapture's. It's intimate and moving.

The genius of the story is how it focuses on a smaller cast of characters and focusing upon them, rather than making Rapture itself the character. Sure, Rapture is a tragic place, but its characters are even more so. The small story amplifies this so well, since it chooses to have the location play into the story, rather than be its focus. C.M. Porter himself is a wonderfully designed character, and his interplay with the player is genius, particularly at the end when you finally meet.

The brevity of the setting is also well done. There is enough to explore and get a little taken in with, but not enough to feel lost in. Areas are compact, but densely populated with detail. The way the areas are laid out are set up to get you engaged with the game and plot. Weapons are plasmids are quicker to obtain, but there is still a great deal of variety. It definitely feels like a smaller version of Bioshock without sacrificing the feel of the game. For anyone wanting to try out Bioshock, this is a small enough and engaging story with really not much stripped out from the gameplay. While you will lose a bit of lore, you will still get a great deal of engagement from this DLC.

Definitely recommended on any platform.
