this updated version is nice. to has good changes that don't alter the game too much but give it a little more crisp look while keeping the original design ideas in place.
most of this review is pretty much just the same as the original version. but still
graphically is the biggest change. things look more crisp, higher resolution texture. a little better lighting, i think, and i am not sure but i think they touched up a lot of models too. mainly my eyes were focused on my guns which were more clear and sharper to look at which made them stand out, and small things like bullets weren't blurry or muddy like the original. over all it is a nice enhancement to have. especially with better resolutions that don't freak out whenever the game crashes or not.
the music is still nice, a mix of their own and real classical music.
gameplay, i don't think it had a lot of changes, but the most immediate one i did notice was that the game felt a bit faster, or that you had an increased movement speed. which made the movement perks feel like you were even faster. the weapons have a nice variety and there is some buildcrafting to make a unique playthrough each time if you wanted. i decided to play on easy because i wanted to spend more time using the guns. and it felt like it was maybe too easy. yeah you did get to use guns the whole time and ignore the wrench, but even big daddy's went down in a few shotgun shells. otherwise there is a new even harder difficulty if you want to really struggle as a man with no powers against everyone who is mutated from super genes and ♥♥♥♥.
the story is that you crash in an ocean and find a tower which takes you to the underwater city of rapture where you fight crazy mutated people and work with the small handful of sane people left as you find out you were being used for a more sinister plot.
only thing i can say, coming right off the heels of the original is that the game is a LOT more stable, i only crashed i think once and that was before i got to save at the begining of the game, and maybe once more. sounds rarely glitched out mid combat and if they did they were less severe and common. but the only new thing was that with some electrical effects, the screen would have tearing. probably just the refresh rate being too high for it to display properly or something.
