Really great game, extremely innovative, superb graphics and sound. Falls short due to countless bugs.

Let me start of by saying this is one of the most innovative games that I have played to date. The amount of decisions and choices the player is able to make is astounding. I love the plasmids, and weapon combinations since you need to evenly balance them out. The graphics are amazing, no other way to describe it and it looks great on a Direct X level 10 card. The water detail and shaders make for a pleasing experience. The game concepts and story line is pretty cool too, I've not seen anything like it before.

However, the game is plagued with bugs. On my Desktop there are countless sound issues (stuttering mostly ) when cut scenes are shown. As for laptops the games is not to user friendly. On my Laptop which is an HP Pavilion dv9500t, I had to install the latest beta drivers from Nvidia which are actually Desktop drivers and not Laptop drivers, meaning you need to trick the laptop into using them which is a huge pain in the butt. Numerous random EXE errors, black screens where videos should be and occasionally half loaded doors when traveling from level to level. PC Specifications:
