Here we go!

  • Does all copies of BioShock come in the shiny cover case?
  • Is BioShock scary? and is it hard?

On survivor difficulty it can be kind of tough at the beginning, but once you make it past your first Big Daddy encounter the game gets much much easier. And no, it's not scary, but it is rather intense.

1. Don't think so

2. No, Bioshock is incredibly easy. Unless you choose survivor difficulty :P

1- i got a shiny cover but thats only a paper case put on the normal box , not sure if all are like this - maybe only the GOTY edition

2- wouldn't call it scary at all, atmospheric is a better word to describe the game , it isn't hard for me - but depends on the difficulty setting

It's scary in a "oh crap I have no ammo and no health so I'm frantically trying to survive" sort of way sometimes. It's also very ambient and suspenseful, the game world pulls you right in.

1- mine came also with that shiny carton cover and it's not the goty edition...

2- the game is not as scary as some of the horror-survival games as people already stated and it's learning curve is ok, once you get the hang of using the various weapons and powers in quick succession it's a breeze...

i got a shiny case so yes so things are a bit wieird, but not scary. As for being hard, well i guess it's only hard if your not used to useing a game controller opposed to a keyboard and mouse.

I will say that survivor difficulty was pretty hard for me just because it was the difficulty that I first started out with. I did not really understand how to play and use all the tonics until midway through the game. Once you get the hang of it, it does become easy to play. This is a great game.

That's three questions, not two!

Shiny = yes

Scary = no

Hard = no, can be a bit tricky to start off with but gets easier as you upgrade. As long as you remember that you can come back for the Big Daddies when you get tougher, then you should have no problems. I got the Platinum trophy, so it can't be that hard.

Not scary like System Shock but it can give a couple of jumps here and there (think of Dead Space) I played it first time on easy and second on Survivor (hardest). It's a challenge the first couple of levels on Survivor, but once you get stocked up it becomes easy assuming you save frequently

Shiny cardboard sleeve, Check. Immersive environment and occasional pop-out scare, Check. Hard.... eh. Survivor mode can provide a stiff challenge here and there, particularly on the big daddy fights, but the other difficulty options were a cake walk for me.

Mine doesn't have the shiny case. I threw it away. :P (it didn't sit well with the rest of my collection) Its not really scary, but its atmosperically creepy. Its a little disturbing at best.
