The trick to fighting is combining Vigors with conventional weaponry, and finding the mix that works best for the situation in hand. As in Bioshock it’s not about just shooting, but about using the environment and the game’s rich toolbox to dispatch your enemies in the most effective or spectacular ways. Enemy AI still doesn’t feel too sophisticated, with predictable movements and sudden rush attacks, but the game makes up for it by throwing plenty on the screen at once, and making each one require a different mix of tactics.
