Why is Bioshock such a critically acclaimed success, but System Shock 2 isn't? Sure Bioshock is good, but it just feels like an equal (IMO worse) version of System Shock 2. I just don't understand how Bioshock can get such high ratings but System Shock 2's ratings are not as great even though it is a superior game.

It's no secret that the big thing behind why System Shock 2, although critically acclaimed, did not sell very well was because it was completely overshadowed by Half Life 2 (much the same sort of fate that System Shock had at the hands of Doom).
