Well ive just finished this beatiful game, and i had no idea i would like it this much. The characters, the environment, the buildings, the music everything fits and are very well build. After watching gameplay videos etc, before i dident have high hopes about this game, i though it was grey and kinda boring after what ive seen, but after playing it, i rly couldent lay the controller down. I always had to see what happend next, and so many TWISTS shocking twists that i never see coming! Like i was just a little piece of a puzzle.. That my character ive fell in love with was controlled by someone else, someone i though were an allie. The main mission where to stop andrew ryan, and when i killed him i really though i had finished the game but what?! My guide, Atlas had tricked me into killing his competitor, and now he could rule rapture. Shocking twists and awesome story. I actually started over after killing Ryan to watch for signs, and i did see them but noway i could see them coming on my first playthrough.

True Bioshock was an amazing game, but I wouldn't say greatest game. There are previous game's that still top Bioshock in my opinion, and future game's we have yet to see.

Yes, Bioshock was a great game but nobody ever seems to mention the terrible combat system. Am I the only one who thinks that this otherwise great game was marred by bad combat? This, to me, is the only thing really keeping the game from reaching 'masterpiece' status.

While one of my Top 5 for sure, with no multi there's now whay it can be called the best game ever. It was one of those games that I will never forget. Ever. Just so unique and fresh. Small kine dissapointed that they decided to make a sequal. Kind of affraid they might ruin what is one of the best games out there.

I still haven't played it, my friend played it over here and it didn't seem one that I'd be into. So no, I'd have to say they're plenty better.

Bet your sweet ass its the best game ever created, it has to be since i ve played through it 15 times. On my 16th now actually, just cant get enough. Everything, the atmosphere, the story, the weapons, the music, the plasmids, the tonics, the characters JUST AMAZING. Really pissed off though that there making a 2nd, its just gonna ruin what bioshock is. Just wait and see, bioshock 2 will be a decent sequal but nowhere near as good as bioshock 1. Not to mention the fact that the part of bioshock where you SPOILERS protected the sister was one of the most dull parts of the entire game. Problem is, that dull part is basicly bioshock 2, which means it has lame written all over it. Sure ill buy it and play it through over 20 times like i plan on doing with this, but just because of the story and atmosphere, which will be amazing. The rest however, will not. Mark my words :(

Would you kindly refrain from saying it's the best game ever? It is pretty sweet, I enjoyed it very much. The combat system was glitchy for me, like when I swung a wrench at a splicer I seemed to go through him and my point of view looking at the floor. Other times I died and when I respawned my machine gun would just keep shooting without me even touching the button. I would have to load a game just to get it to stop. Being able to duel wield the guns and plasmids would've been nice, which I see they are incorporating in part 2. The lame thing about part 2 is having to protect a little sister. That was the only part in Bioshock I did not like. Who wants to do that for a bigger portion of the game?

BioShock is a damn good game, but it's very flawed. The gameplay is very predictable and it's the story itself that propels the game forward to be awesome. It isn't close to being the greatest game ever, hell there are significantly better shooters on the 360 than BioShock like Gears of War 1, Halo 3, The Orange Box, FEAR, maybe even Call of Duty 4. But in terms of overall gut impact of the story, yeah, BioShock is awesome, but I'm hoping that they tighten up the actual gunplay for the sequel and enhance the enemy AI A LOT. And I mean, A LOT.

QFT, still fun though, but it's not the kind of game where I'm like "Hmm I feel like playing that sequence again." God I played so much Halo 1... :P

I wouldn't go that far, but it was brilliant. I think the way it stood out to me the most, personally, was its thought-provoking nature. After beating the game, I proceeded to look into themes and theories behind the game, and learned quite a bit about objectivism and Ayn Rand. It's interesting stuff, to say the least. The story and twists were also pretty good, the audio diaries were executed brilliantly, and the gameplay was errie, well-tuned, and extremely fun. It's probably in my top 5 or 6 of best 360 games, but not the greatest game I've ever played.

Bioshock was so good, and it's atmosphere made me feel like I'm part of it, getting it again in two days.

I thought it had pretty bad gameplay, was far to linear, had bad AI, no reason to feel anything for the little sisters, weapons were not fun to use, most powers were pretty boring (except telekenesis, which was great), poor enemy variety, and with the exception of the twist that he was controlling you the entire time when saying, would you kindly, (which was pretty cool) all the other twists were pretty easy to see coming or added nothing to the story. I knew Atlus would betray you right away and that he would likely be Fontaine (what's his name) when I saw all the posters for him. It had really good music and sound and I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it kind of went downhill after the demo. The game is really nothing compared to Deus Ex which had atmosphere, gameplay, it was one of the only games that made me feel bad about killing people (so I usually used nonlethal attacks), characters, story, twists, endings, etc all very well done. System Shock was likely much better as well, though I never did play it.

To be honest, I thought the combat was excellent! Fast, frenetic, and above all, varied. Each enemy required different tactics to take them down, and the large number of weapons and plasmids made this great fun to figure out.

I loved this game, and can't wait for Q4 09 when the sequel comes out.

I mean seriously....You come in here and say that we are fanboys because we like a game that was widely acclaimed both critically and publicly as one of the most original and atmospheric games to date? Some people man....Give me a break!
