Great and addictive game. A must-have for FPS fans.
Now, after it has been released the promise revealed true.
First of all, my computer specs:
Intel QuadCore Extreme QX6800 2,93Ghz
4Gb DDR2 800Mhz Kingston
Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 384Bits
400Gb Sata HD
Wireless Game Controller
The graphics are something abnormal (read: wonderful) as the game is full of details and 2K Games used shaders, textures, lighting and models in the highest of standards. However even modern pcs could find difficulty to unleash BS' full quality. On my pc I had no problem running everything set to max.
Sound is pretty good also, since every environment detail can be heard clearly and in high quality.
Even not being a huge fan of the genre I was surprised at how good and entertaining is Bioshock. To me it's due to the innovative way of shooting that I first met on Half-Life 2.
That's what mostly attracted me to Bioshock and it probably means that this game, along with HAZE and Killzone 2 will be my favorite FPS in the amidst of the soon-to-be-released FPS games.
However the problems about Bioshock are the issues on activating the game, as many buyers reported the two-times only activation problem. I guess 2K Games could have made a secure activation without the two-times limit. And another problem is the technical issues some gamers might encounter along the game, like having no sound or graphical glitches.
My closing comments are that Bioshock is a must-have for all FPS fans and the no-fans like myself too, since it's an innovative and attractive game.
