Thats right. But before you go all crazy on me, its only one section of each game, so bear with me.

I'm sure most of you have played Bioshock, and were absolutely astonished by Sander Cohen's level and his madness.

For those disappointed (or not) wii owners who played Red Steel, remember that guy in the Games District who ran an underground, illegal wierd game of death thing named Tsuo? Well, hes oddly similar to Sander Cohen. Let me explain:

  • in the very start of each level, your advisor (Bioshock: Atlas, Red Steel: Red-haired American guy) says, "...However, I hear ____ is a real nutjob. Better watch out."
  • They are both testing you. (Sander Cohen wants you to murder 3 men, Tsuo wants you to complete his games)
  • Human-like statues are riddled throughout the Atrium, and there are TONS of mannekins in Tsuo's gamehouse.
  • Both have the same symbol: The Bunny
  • In the end, when each finally show their face, their is a celebration. (Confetti falling, music)
  • Theyre both really, really crazy lol

Before you fanboys start to bombard me with, "HOWZ CAN U CUMPARE DES 2 GAMZ", I never actually said that one of them copied the other. I just was playing both games a couple days ago and I noticed how those parts are oddly similar.

Don't believe me? Then play them BOTH before you go crazy on me

Agreed. It had so much potential but it was executed very poorly.

Why does this seem so familiar?

Ryan is the head of the big daddies. He led the army to take down the little sisters who provided energy for the rebellion.

there I ruined it for all the cows

Nothing original? really? Where are all the Big Daddies in other games? Where are the crossbow bolts that are electric traps? Where are the electric gel guns? Where is the variety of plasmid equivalents in other games? I guess the only way bioshock would have been original in some people's eyes would be if created it's own genre of FTPSRPG :roll:

Lol totally wrong. Anyways I think those are very good parallels between the two characters. I actually like Red Steel, and loved Bioshock. Bioshock had the best story and voice acting in a game IMO.

Red Steel was crap.

I guess those two sections could be compared, but red steels was poorly executed and I really enjoyed that part of Bioshock (which sums up the games in general). Incidentally what did you think of RS?

because said games are popular and they want to seem special and/or in the know and thus better than everyone else. pretty sad, really.

Comparing MGS4 to....Gundam! They both have big robots that shoot missiles and stuff and they fight stuff. But seriously there might be a slight resemblance there but nothing major. On a side note that level in Red Steel is awesome, it's the funniest level ever, crazy power rangers, talking bunnies, people dressed up as pink bunnies, a crazy rollercoaster, guys dressed like dinosaurs hiding in eggs. Red Steel 2 should all be like that.

System Shock 2 - everything interesting + Dark Messiah = BioShock.

The only original thing in that list is the electric rod for the crossbow.

Then we're not on the same boat, I found Bioshock to be just plain boring at times.

Agreed with this. That was my favorite level in the game. I loved the crazy feeling of that guy on the speakers, the bunnies, the maniquines, etc. And the rollercoaster was great too.

I actually did like Red Steel despite its problems, although I think they could do better, especially if they take their time with it and fix the bugs and other problems. I don't know if I'd want all the levels to be copies of that level, but I'd love to see a lot of levels that are as interesting as that one.

I haven't played Bioshock, but I do want to get it. It does look very good.
