Great Storyline, but the battles are way to easy
The good news is, the storyline and premises of Bioshock is superb. From the 1950s underwater setting, to the art decor found in the game, to listening to the tape recordings of people long dead. All this contributes to the exceptional atmosphere that BIoshock has created. The plasmids powers are fun to use and it was a blast to see the powers in effect.
Now the bad news. The game is way too easy. Having no death penatly means that I was able to breeze through battles without care of my health. After all, why should I when I can rez with all my items intact? It defeats any challenge that I have found.
In all, buy Bioshock for teh storytelling and the atmosphere, which it has plenty. Just don't buy it for the combat.
