It's a beautiful game but it's also pretty shallow.

Let me start out by saying bioshock is a beautiful game. Other than that it's a pretty average run of the mill shooter. My first problem is with the way the story is told. Instead of having us experience it like in HL2 it goes for telling it to us through tape recordings. That's fine but it makes it feel like anything on those tapes has little or no importance because it's all after the fact. I would have liked it if they went 100% with the ghost flashbacks. At least it gives the illusion that you were there. Also, the story is almost 100% done by the time you get to rapture. It's Because the story has played out you have virtually no impact on it at all. You just run around rapture and fight splicers. There is little to nothing actually going on while you are there.

Third, there is no consequence to how you play. The game plays out 100% the same way whether or not you harvest the sisters. The only difference is the 15 second clip ending. One is good and one is evil. If you are looking to kill some time with a beautiful game then pick this up. Otherwise, there are better games out there that you could be playing.
