Am I the only one who feels BioShock is overrated?

yes you are now go meditate and become one with the game

you will better understand it than

I don't, But I don't play single player games more than once anyway.

I bought this for the PC when it came out, it was alot of fun yes and well done, but after beating it once I have no desire to ever touch it again. I found it gets a tad repetitive near the end and well I am surprised that it gets GOTY at so many places, I mean its good yes, but not That good, and not worth playing more than once.Xterminator77

I think its overrated for different reasons.

Its basically just System Shock 2 underwater, and for dummies.

Yes. I thought it was much better than any JRPG (that's the type of RPG I play most) I played, so...yeah it's you.

Bioshock, at its core, a RPG game although it has shooter elements to it.

Bioshock doesn't have any RPG elements in it. It's actually pretty linear, as well. If any FPS has RPG elements, it's STALKER.

The hell it is, the upgrades are minimal at most and the game is completely linear, it is a FPS with a dash of RPG elements in it, near the end you end up with the same stuff or simmilar regardless of your decisions. Its not like you get to choose a class or anything.

It's true that RPG elements are not as direct, but it's there

9.0 is not overrated for this game...id say its a really fair score

halo 3 on the other hand..

It doesn't quite have the highest replay value, but what an amazing experience it was....

*reminisces*

(I did play the Xbox360 version, so perhaps my complaints are nullified in the PC version, though I doubt it.)

I agree. The dialogue was excellent, the game as a whole was pretty atmospheric, the graphics were solid,but I suppose I never really got into it. The enemies are pretty dull. There are only 3 basevarieties, not creative or revolutionary in any way, and although the game seems to encourage using your creativity to find ways to use up all of your Adam on one enemy, I feel that it's just easier to use other weapons. I'll create a much more indepth review at some point, but I'll probably give it a 6.0-6.5

It is disappointing.

100% agreed...I hate it how people say its an "RPG"..it has no "ARE PEE GEE" elements to it...

In short, Yes.

Bioshock is easily one of my favorite games this year and should definitely havebeen GOTY IMO.
