As a gamer is one of the coolest action games i played, as a system shock 2 fan, it sucks.
ill explain why.
The cool fact on ss2 was the scary atmosphere that the game gave you that made you walk around the corridors of the von braum like a paranoid, counting the bullets with your fingers and hearing the creeppy sounds of the many ´s boys. All those stuff made the game great.
Bioshock lacks all of that, is just loose shooting on disfigured people. Ammo is everywhere, either u can buy it on machines (with are also VERY easy to hack) or either u can find them on strange places.
The enemies dont scare AT ALL. Yup they are tough, but they dont give the sensation of "huge Threat coming for u" that they should give. "and the big daddies?" u ask?, they dont do nothing if you dont hit them.
Problem is, bioshock is not a terror fps.. is an action fps. The strong points of bioshock is the combat and the cool use of plasmids. However, one guy that can use plasmids, and guns and ALSO hack is quite imbalanced if you play well, while ss2 logics are still intact (hacking, plasmids, medkits, eve hypos). Just a little of ss2 logic and you can get rid from many troubles.
Instead of that, graphics are outstanding. Nothing to arge about it.
Sound is ok, nothing much spectacular for me.
I need to go deeper on this review but for now, if they mix the action of bioshock with the atmospheric scare of ss2, you could get one of the most coolest pc games of all time, PERIOD. Hope this guys think more on that than in profits.
