Not completely, there are hidden rooms to find, you choose from a bunch of plasmoids and guns to use, the choice is yours how you play!

Tbh nearly alll FPS games are the same just because you can see the sky doesnt make them more open! Last FPS i played thatwas not like this wasHalo: CE and only on a couple of levels where you choose what order to do objectives and the levels are MASSIVE!

The game is good finish it! It is also a preparation for the coming of Bioshock2

ive been on the fence for a while with this game. friends keep tellin me to get it, but im not into the whole fps thing AT ALL. whats the appeal?

One of the best games ever, imho.

I dont think so, you still have choices of how to play and you can go off into different sections of the levels so its not like your on rail like house of dead or lair which are completley linear.

The thing is all FPS games are all like this you get an objective and you do it and go on to the next one, would you say Uncharted is completly linear? maybe Bioshock is a bit more than others but its the style of the game and it works, its obviousley a great game.

Know what im saying?

Nice pickup. Amazing game. It was my favorite 360 game until I got ACII. Still one of the best games I've played this gen.

I don't really care if it's linear or not as long as I enjoy the game.

The game is just awesome. My only regret was that I bought it for $60 when it came out. I should have waited a couple of months before the price came down. PolarBear_88

Ah yeh I know what you mean i paid £40 for Dead Space on release and eneded up trading it in. But at least you didnt buy something like Haze full price!!!

Yeah, its a fantastic game!

At first, when the game was talked about lots, and it was announced as a "full X360 exclusive", I was bitter, and forgot about it fast.

Some time later a guy discovered in the code that "PS3" appeared in it. Quite strange of the developer to mention a platform the game would never be released in.

Then the game was announced to be released on PS3, and as the same thing happened to Lost Planet and eternal Sonata (I'm too lazy to search for an article where the game developers say "this game will ONLY be released on XBOX360"), it only means they signed a contract with Microsoft where they got lots of money and the game developers had to stay silent about a future release on PS3, thus allowing more games and consoles to be sold for Microsoft.

To get back on topic, I bought the game new (not very often this gen), thinking I'd never go far as I s**k bad at FPS usually, and got absorbed by the storytelling and graphical style, chose to save all the little sisters, and was rewarded by it in the story and in the game, and played one of the better game experience this gen.

I can only regret Microsoft's horrible way of manipulating people, and the fact that the game could have been better if released on PS3 only.

[ I know I can be moderated for the bad things I say against Microsoft, but thier methods are so horrible, and it's punished by law in France as "unfair competition" ... that is, if someone has the courage to get them to a court of law ]

Still need to finish the game. I'll beat it during my Christmas vacation, but I've enjoyed what I've played of it so far. Will most likely be getting Bioshock 2 when it drops. I have too many games to finish and buy...

Bioshock is sick. I played it on 360, PS3, and PC... it's awesome. The second one has me worried though... they're changing a LOT.

Why would someone rob themself of a great game just because its "linear"...if you want non-linear, thats what rpgs are for..i think its wierd people expect a non linear game in the form of a shooter because there aren't hardly any that im aware of( next to fallout and afew others). This game has multiple endings depdending on how you play and the choices you make, so it is not as linear as some think. The atmosphere in this game is astounding and sets the bar for suvival horrors. I picked it up from blockbuster for 5 bones used and i cant wait to replay it as a good character the next time around. truthiness1

uhh, everyone FPS on the PS3 is linear? id prolly like it but i have a huge phobia of needles so i dont want to play it. weird i knoMethodManFTW

best excuse ever XD haha

For me its up there with Metal Gear Solid for the ps1 and zelda ocarina of the time for the n64, absolute classic.

I dont see why people complain about it being linear? Most of my favourite games are linear, its an experience that has been created for you, just like a movie, tv series or a book.
