    A little, but it's kept well to where there is very little spoilers...

    Yeah, but It's not like they're saying "Left here, kill splicer, move foward"
    Like I said there's some spoilers, and It's not like getting Electro-Bolt as the first plasmid was a big spoiler... Kinda of a known fact...

    Hmmm If Duel wielding is optional I might use the non duel wield just cause im comfortable with the old bioshock ways.

    All this new press is worrying me. Bioshock 2 sounds too segmented and the graphics look awful compared to most other AAA games.

    Jordan talks about dark, scary sections, action-packed arena-type encounters, normal exploration, and then the underwater parts. Bioshock 1 had a unity of all its aspects and that's whan made the game so amazing. Here it sounds like Marin has no idea how to properly execute these features together so they section them off.

    There's an opening cutscene prior to that.

    Well, I must say that I am very happy with the description of what happens each time you get a new plasmid. (last paragraph of the first page) That was one of the few things about the first game that I thought could have been done better. It's like 2k read my mind! XD

    No, there was also a broken plane at the beginning of the clip.

    I noticed whale ribs buried in the ocean floor at 1:50, but I did not see plane remains at any moment in the preview.

    The camera pans down, when it starts, at the top of the cliff you can see it.

    Ah, yes. It was at the corner of the screen, so I didn't notice it.
