BioShock gamespot rating is a shocker to me as I thought for sure that it would have received a totally over-rated rating. Still the rating should have been alittle lower, but a 9.0 from gamespot is a surprise to me. I would have thought for sure that Jeff Gerstmann would have over-rated BioShock like he did on Gears of War. Every other gamesite that has rated BioShock has over-rated it so I thought for sure that gamespot would have too and especially being rated by Jeff Gerstmann.

I'll be surprised if I can post this before this thread gets locked :lol:

Well what do you know, I made the cut. I don't think it was over-rated. It's one of the best games to come out in a long time.

Well have you played the whole game yet?? How do you know it is over rated? I was expecting like a 9.6 or something, but I'm still pumped about the game.

I really enjoyed the demo personally..i never really agreed with gamespots ratings. i figured they would lowball the score because everyone else was scoring it high. *twilight princess anyone?* But still jeffisfat and i guess thats really all that matters

I think it is a reasonable score. If it were me I would give it a 9.5.

It's a fair score because of the fatal flaw of enemies health levels being at the same point as when you died. Makes the game more of an interactive movie because the challenge is gone. I'm hoping this gets rectified with an update which would make it damn near the perfect single player game.
