From what I've heard and seen of this game, I expect the world to stop for a while as it is released and is being played.

Because, OMG, it looks amazing.

I got to watch Dasro play a few hours of it last night.

AWESOME level design, graphics, gameplay.

Sound design *alone* nets this game major props from me. Honestly, voice acting is very good, and the production is just awesomely creepy and well-done.

Art deco stylee makes me a happy grrl, it's true, and it plays wickedly with Objectivist ideas.

GOOD STUFF

I've been playing this on the PC and really enjoying it. The hardest part for me so far is to remember that one does not simply run up and shoot a Big Daddy. Voice acting, music, sound and lighting are all top notch all contributing to one of the most immersive games I've seen in quite some time. Also, in a next gen first, it's not brown.

i am yet to play...

Just beat the game today. It definitely deserves 100/100. Greatest game ever. I was thinking they should make this into a movie and an ARG to go with it

it's long... and full of pretty much everything - non-linear (in places to go per level, generally), upgrades to weapons and abilities, invention (aka alchemy), simultaneous goals, replayability, gorgeous graphics... it's like, it took the best of every fps and put it in here (in the single player sense); almost a good RPG as well, if it had experience to improve your character .

I'm just about half way, but haven't been able to spend more than a few hours twice, and the world is rich with places to explore and achievements to unlock. velly nice!

[sad_bot]

yes!

I absolutely love this game. Close second only to HalfLife2, imho.

The sound design is really quite astounding, especially when I had to play on headphones one night (highly recommended). The level designs are very well thought out, not to mention gorgeous, and I really gotta agree with the OMG-NOT-BROWN sentiment.

I'd be surprised if the Big Daddy/Little Sister doesn't become iconic. If this isn't the Game of the Year, I'll eat someone's hat.

And yeah, I've beaten it, and am currently replaying trying to get a different ending (not to spoil).

I agree, nothing, and I repeat nothing was as good as Zelda:Ocarina of Time. The time I spent stuck on the water temple was a horrible period Until my friend who had never played the game before found a mistake I made and pointed it out, so i went back to a previous save and got through. Two heads are better than one I guess.

I played the bioshock demo and it looked amazing, and I can't honestly say what the game is like because I only played the first level, but it seemed like it would be a bit too easy because of the respawner tube thingies found throughout the game. In other games, you'd have to start at the beginning of the level again. Maybe its just a testament to the true difficulty of the game . has anyone played multiplayer? the interface looked like it would be a bit herkyjerky in multiplayer, like it wouldn't be smooth or something. Anyways, that's just what I felt, but I haven't actually played it. My Xbox360 got the flashing ring of death for the third time and I have to wait until the 25th for COSTCO to send me a new one... which is the release date of Halo 3...curses...

I'm waiting until tomorrow to grab the demo of this (the file would take up over 10% of my current dl limit, I don't have one once I get to uni tomorrow).

@Vman, there isn't a multiplayer mode in the game...

BioShock is flippin' awesome. I've played through it twice for both endings. It's kind of leisurely on easy, incredibly hard on medium (i played it first on medium), and i havent even wanted to try on hard. Great endings for the good ending!
