I am not sure how many hours into it, but I just got access into the crazy man's area (the guy who wanted the pictures). I kind of have gotten side tracked by playing way too much RS: Vegas on-line and haven't finished it yet. Great game though. Was the ending good?

I took me like 25+ hrs. I was taking my time with it. Wanted to explore everything and had to figure out the controls. I was a newbie.

Probably about 15 hours for me. I didn't rush through it and made sure I fully explored everywhere before I progressed. That's how I got most of the achievements in one playthrough.

Took about 20 hours but I explored a lot and took lots of pictures. Does anyone know how many bathyspere locations you can go to? There are 8 slots but I only went to 7, so I'm wondering if I somehow missed an entire section.

Beat it in about 25+ hours but it was an on/off thing, played one day skipped a few days and jumped back on dont really know why, explored a lot, got the "bad" ending though, does the decision to harvest the little sisters effect the outcome of which ending you get? overall, one hell of a game

It took me9 days to beat it. I played 2 or 3 hours each evening during the week and about 6 hours on the weekend. So that is20+ hours. I was taking it easy, exploring and all that.

You've still got a ways to go, 3 or 4 more levels I believe.

My Parents are iffy about if i should buy the game, because of the "sexual themes". Is there really anything like that in Bioshock, because it would help if I got some answers. Thanks :)

took me about 12-15 hours.... this game could have had a really fun and interesting multiplayer with all the plasmids (they could have had more for multiplayer too).... replayability is a disappointment with this game... I have no urge to play again now that I'm done.... A great game though (9.3 out of 10), but by no means perfect like all the hyped up reviewers say. I still thought Oblivion and Gears were better games and DEFINATELY had much more replay value. Ending was good (for saving all the girls), but way too short... a 30 second cutscene and then the title screen? come on....

"PETRE21

Its so funny in our culture how people get ALL bent out of shape about people having sex (btw there's very little sexual content, but A LOT of graphic violence in the game) but have no problems when we bludgeon people with wrenches or incinerate them with fire plasmids or electrocute them etc..... How old are you? This game is like a rated R movie, if you're 16 or younger you shouldn't be playing it.

I find it funny as hell to..... how its ok for a game to have torture and violence galore but if there is one scene of a nakd girl or even just some sexual themes, some people/parents get so angry and pissed off.

took me about 15 hours first time (just a guess, didnt really pay attention). took about that long again on hard, and i just beat it again today on easy. that didnt take as long but i could have done it even faster if i didnt have to go back to grab about a dozen diaries that i missed for my historian achievement. got 1000/1000 now but i like the game enough that ill play it again. best singleplayer game ive played in a long time.

I believe it took me over 20+ the first time with getting stuck in a corner, the game freezing and general exploration. Now that I'm playing through on Hard, I'm actually finding that it's taking me even longer to go through again. I consider myself to be a gamer of average skill, but I don't suppose it's really average in this forum.

I am gonna guess 20+ hours but it was spread out over a a couple of weeks. Explored every nook and cranny, hacked every terminal, safe, etc. First game that has kep my interest long enough to make me want to explore everything. LOVED IT.

I kind of thought the final boss battle was a bit of a let down. Not much, mind you, but the story had built up so great by then.Inretrospect I guess it was hard to top the whole game in one final battlethough.

Also first game in aloooong time that I played forlike 6-8 horus straight without getting bored. Started on a Saturday afternoonwith sun shining in and ended withit being dark. Was worth it

Just wish it could have been a little longer........
