visually EPIC
what do i do with my life?
what if i make the wrong choices?
what about the infinite versions of me which are having fun in a hot tub party with a horde of women or the ones rolling in money ARGGHH!!
what if there's a version of me writing a damning review of this!
what if they played the PC version instead and thought it looked better on that system?!
.... stop.... breath... I'll write this review..
Gameplay
The game play is very solid - better then some first persons, you find yourself moving from one point to the next, using your abilities with the left trigger while gunning away with the right trigger and asking Elizabeth to create rifts.
My biggest gripe with this - is upon dieing your instantly resurrected with new health and add a little bit of health to the bad guys, and i know this is simply done from a TECH side to reduce load time, but you cant help but feel - I kinda want to do that again because i was not really taking advantage of things and could have done better.
Story
This is the real Meat to the game, and if you don't get it, you just won't understand the game or maybe even like it.
Overall the game is mind blowing-ly visual and continuously does a great job keeping the visuals going to the very end, with some solid game controls and game-play to boot.
Buckle up because its going to get WEIRD in this EPIC story about flying cities and people with poor job choices.
You'll love..
- the intro is amazing, as too is the final mind melting outro!
- Elizabeth makes for a convincing character
- Abilities are allot of fun when used right!
- lots of upgrades.
- some areas you can just miss! so reply can make for some new ventures!
- rails can be allot of fun, getting you to new ground.
- the richness of the scenes.
- the madness of the outro!
You'll hate..
- the cheap game over reloads (sometimes you just want to do that again from the start of the scene!)
- some abilities are more useful then others.
- sometimes you just don't know if you'll create a scene for stealing something, and generally you do and people go nuts!
- some game functions like, door powering with electricity or choice selections is added then forgotten later.
- that it ends at some point, and feel you wanted a little bit more..... DLC ahoy!.
- you wont find some of the scene in previous E3 scenes!
- lacks the world exploring found in rapture
- some enemies can feel like a messy fight after being resurrected by Elizabeth five times.
- other NPC's not as convincing as Elizabeth.
