Great Immersive Shooter with Innovations (need to play in Difficult mode)

This is definitely one of the more interesting FPS I have played (which is a lot), with interesting story and innovations. Ok, granted that all those body and weapon upgrades and security hacking are inherited from System Shock, I still consider Bioshock to be innovative. For example, the interplay between different weapons and plasmids (body upgrades) and how you take advantage of the environment, etc. I also appreciate the balance of the game level design. The designer take good care of scatter just enough amt of ammo and eve around so that you really have to conserve your resources (e.g. can't just shoot everything). This added to the tension of the game. Ok, this is the case at least at the earlier parts, later you will accumulate more ammo.

But to fully enjoy the game and appreciate its qualities I mentioned above, you have to TURN THE DIFFICULTY SETTING UP TO THE HARDEST, otherwise enemies are too easy to kill and you will never die. I know some ppl complains about the auto resurrection, but I can tell you if you play "DIFFICULT", then resurrection won't solve all ur problems. To give an example, new enemies will spawn out after your resurrected and sometimes you just have to deal with them, which means you will end up depleting your precious stash of ammo or eve. You certainly can't (you might be able to do that but not without a hell lots of reloading) finish your game with just your wrench!

I haven't finished the game yet. But so far I am very satisfied with it and I thoroughly enjoy finally playing something that is more interesting than just another clone of the shoot-anything-that-move formula.
