Bioshock, Rent or purchase (Poll)

Buy it, defintely buy it; even when you beat it, it has tons of replay value like deciding whether or not too harvest those little sisters?KingKoop

Yeeeaaah. Dont listen to him. Rent it. Its worth a play through but like the other guy said its just a decent fps. The whole alternate endings c**p... there's one. its a fun fps but theres nothing new here.

EDIT: Oh yeah about the replay value.... none, you can prettymuch do everything the first time round. I even got all the powers without harvesting the lil b****es

Yeah it maybe "just a decent fps" to you but when he asked for "my opinion" I gave it so telling him not too listen to me seems stupid, oh and next time please state "Spoilers" before telling everyone how many or what the endings are.

"Listen to me, to me! Please listen to me, don't listen to them, please, please!"

As yousaid BUY IT YOU FOOL!!! Its a great FPS. The story,atmosphere,the enimies have so much character and the powers are so awsome. Its a game that you will be happy to have in your game libary. Plus its got a pretty box:D. The graphics are also awsome. IMO it looks better then GeOW. The worlds seem to have a life of thier own.

It really depends how you live the video-gaming thing. I never had any doubt that I had to have it in my library, but then again I rarely rent games, I like to have a collection of titles. You know..., historical reasons and **it. I dig the art work, the production values, every little thing. I respect the product. I don't "just play it as fast as I can, and dump it".miiiguel

later u like decision.. ! im out... to play stuntman & bioshock

buy it, its worth it!

My thoughts exactly.

Download the demo. If you enjoy it, you'll probably enjoy the rest of the game too, and it would thus warrent a buy. If not, I would still give it a rent - it may grow on you.

Honestly, I wasn't at all hyped for BioShock prior to playing the demo. Afterward...well, I picked it up as soon as stores opened on the first day it was out. It's rare to find a game that integrates story that well into the experience. Also, I did feel like I wanted to play it again immediately after finishing it...the only thing stopping me was the release of Metroid Prime 3. So at least for me, it does have some replayability.

I agree with game-spots review it's only a 9 because the combat gets kinda silly since the guns feel like they get so weak later on in the game, why don't you die with point blank range with a shotgun i just upgraded???? and its not really open game, just some linear normal fps shooting. Though do your self a favour and at least play it, either rent or buy it the water effects are just so cool as well as the environment and it scares me alot so can only play for a little while before my nerves are shot.

yes i am man enough to admit that the game scares me, come one :P when the lights go out in the room and music starts with screaming from every direction, feels like at any time somethings going to come out and get me lol. Because of this the game is just a must buy for me in all its creepy goodness, sound and scripted events just are so well done

and some one above said they normally play games in a week and does not get the erg to play it , i agree with them its not a super fun run and gun fps like halo that i can just blaze through it feels like a damn spooky movie more than a game

I'd go with rent it or even better if you can borrow it from a friend. It's a good game but I can't see myself spending 60 bucks for it when I'd probably just play through it twice as good and bad then never touch it again. Same thing with the demo. I had some people tell me they played the demo 10 times because it was so amazing. I played through it twice and once I thought I got enough out of it I was done.

I'm not the type who has to go through and unlock every achievement or complete every goal or whatever though.

i agree with everything ross25 just said ^ its just a damn good work of art, no one who thinks video games are just silly games for children and are not a art form in any way would have a much different opinion after playing this game : ) its just the good

i hear different things from people on xbox live that i should just rent it or it is a must buy. help me by voicing your opinions. (oh i would buy it in store credit so im not spending money and i dont care about achievements. should i use my credit on something else?)pageiszepplin

the game is unique to a point but not enough to buy; however, if you like actually taking the time to appreciate the highly rich scenery, which is present in just about every room, I would say that it is worth buying. but then again, If you have any qualms about killing people, dont buy, just rent.

good luck

the game is still too violent and not unique enough, which is why I dont really enjoy it too much. somehow killing people just ruins the experience, butthe scenery is simply lovely. so, i'm still anxiously waiting for Too Human.

thanks

I would say buy it.
If you play it enough, it may only take you a week to complete but there is replay value. You may want to go back for achievements, or just to play the game differently.
Besides all that, it's really a game that you want in your collection anyway - It is afterall one of the best games to grace the X360 yet.

Some say there's three endings but they're only two.

Harvest them - Bad ending

Save them - Good ending

Harvest half and Save half - Bad ending
