Basically its an RPG with great graphics (possibly the best water effects in a video game to date) and an interesting storyline that involves thinking instead of just run and gun gameplay.  This might not appeal to everyone so maybe its just not your type of game.  If you like run and gun type stuff then I would stay away from this just because there is some puzzle type implications and strategy involved.

This is exactly my kind of game. I loved the original System Shocks and games like Deus Ex.

Running around frantic and shooting things as fast as I can while looking for power-ups is just not my thing. Good on ya if it's yours but I like games that have a more leisurely pace.

Bioshock will probably be the first 360 game I buy new and pay full price for.....or better yet maybe it's trade in time for my dust gathering PSP.

I think the question asked here should be "What isn't good about Bioshock". It has amazing graphics, great RPG gameplay and probulary hours of entertainment.

Your both right. Its a FPS with RPG properties, or you could say its a RPG thats in first person.

Yes and no,

It's not an FPS like Halo or the dozens of other "run around, shoot like crazy and look for power-ups for your armor" games. You'll have to explore, figure out and reason.

It without question has RPG elements which make it much better than most games IMO.

It's going to be awesome because the game designers actually created a world around a famous author's works -- the books of Ayn Rand

I may have to agree with you on that one. I too have seen quite a few screens, videos, and the like and haven't found anything convincing enough to get me to drop $50+ at launch.

Even better, the game is setting itself up to be a critique of Ayn Rand.

Thinking while shooting is pretty dull, but that's just my taste. I don't care about causing two enemies to fight each other, or find a way to reprogram a turret to kill an enemy. I just want to shoot the friggin thing and get it over with.
