A very solid experience I'd have no problem replaying again someday. While the story isn't nearly as complex and meta as the first game's was, the gameplay in BioShock 2 easily outclasses its predecessor. Being able to use weapons and plasmids simultaneously leads to some insane combos and ways of taking down enemies. Passive plasmids/tonics have been changed to be all in one category (instead of having separated categories like the first one did) which was a nice change and allowed for a larger variety in gameplay strategy. While this game didn't hit nearly as hard as it's predecessor (especially in the storytelling and worldbuilding area) it still is a very worthwhile and fun game for anyone who enjoyed BioShock 1.
