Bioshock Review

A story driven sci-fi shooter set in a city beneath the sea. Considered to be the spiritual successor to System Shock 2, using a similar style of gameplay.

Personally, I thought Antisocialfatman's review of Bioshock was better--while this is good, you let if off way too easily. I personally, LOVED this game the first time around, but the more you play it, the more flaws you see. There is no RPG element by definition, no one cares about the little sisters (being the most underdeveloped characters in the game and just simply have cute faces) and the shooting elements are pretty awful for an FPS. I think this is JUST a dumbed down version of SS2.

@phcopathicfyed Yeah I'll agree with that. Game still had alot of atmosphere to it. That's where I derive most of my enjoyment from it.

I'm just wondering why do some people hate the ending.

Ilove BioShock and I like the Endings (I loved the good ending).

[MrSnuggleduck]

Personally I liked the good ending too. I asked a friend what he thought and he said it was too corny. We agreed to disagree.

As for the bad ending it just had me scratching my head.

Bioshock 2 has even more endings, so I'm looking forward to that!

wait.. wats wrong with the little girls?

[MrSnuggleduck]

They've had genetic modifications and mental conditioning so they can harvest ADAM from corpses and recycle it as EVE. They can be returned to their original physical state, however the state of mind stays the same.

Eventually I think they return to normal as suggested in the "good" game ending.

Oh, quit ranting about your Call of duty games. I never heard the end of it. CALL OF DUTY NEVER REVOLUTIONIZED FPS GAMES. Those same controls have been used in FPS games forever, the games that did leave a true mark came before the modern junk that we have now. Nothing has come close to classics like Deus Ex and System Shock 2, except perhaps the half life and stalker games. And, on a more personal note, Freelancer. But eh, who cares what I like.

[superlosia1234]

@phcopathicfyed Of course the shooting is somewhat awful the game came out in 07 before cod 4 revolutioned the first person controls forever!

This is a very helpful review. Much appreciated.

@phcopathicfyed still like both games but your opinion is validated i just love SS2 bioshock so.

[phcopathicfyed]

@gonduleI can't agree with you. Bioshock was worse in everyway, from level design to gameplay. Sorry, that was my opinion and you can disagree if you want. :\ Even everyone over at IGN doesnt like the game save for Greg Miller. So.

@phcopathicfyed while I love SS2 it is my all time favorite game of all time next to Fallout 2 but I still love Bioshock.

nice review, thank you for not saying "it sucks, this clearly is not system shock 3!" my take is they were going for a similar vibe with a different gameplay style, customization is great, but less customization allows for more fluidity in other areas, such as slicker shooting and animations...besides customization doesn't necessarily= quality
