If you like games like Resi-evil or Sillent Hill you will totally Love BioShock

Bioshock is certainly as atmospheric as Resi-Evil an Silent hill, i find it as edgy asboth as in not knowing just what lurks in the dark recess's of each area of Rapture.

Yet, this game is Far more sinister, and threatening it's ability too keep you nervously checking all areas of the rooms is sublimely enhanced by the maniacal weird an almost Exorcist sounds around you.

The 1950's sound track that drifts across the halls and down the stair cases is what i can only describe as like watching the Shining only you are the person stuck in this creep-fest.

If you like your game's Heart-poundingly good, this is a Must-have for you i guarantee you will love the fear that permeates and welcomes you too this city of Rapture.

except that 90% of the would-be atmosphere is sacrificed in favour of the sandbox, emergent combat - even playing on hard, enemies aren't particularly threatening, vita-chambers ruin everyting (patch it out, please - or at least put a ss2-style pricetag on using it) and resources are not exactly rare

the game encourages you to play around with your tools and abilities and try out different things, and while it's fun, it kills the atmosphere - plus enemies are spawned off tiringly predictable triggers (usually picking up item x or opening container y)

don't get me wrong, i love bioshock, but it's just got nothing on system shock 2... and it may be elitist, but it really is hard to love second best
