      FPS meets RPG, but FPS first according to the guys that made the game.

      Maybe Condemned meets Half Life with a little RPG character building sprinkled in taking place in an underwater city that I would never want to visit....ever

        If you like games you owe it to yourself to try the demo. If you don't like shooters it may or may not be a must buy. However, everyone should see what the top of the gaming atmosphere food chain looks like. The first 15 minutes or so you are just looking/wandering around and it is worth every moment.

        Ladies and gents this is the filet mignon of gaming.

          agreed 100%


          i would highly recommend picking up system shock 2( if you can find it) on the pc so you can see the greatness that is the "shock" series.

            Its sounds a little bit like a more horror oriented "Deus Ex"



            If its that good or better, then it will be one of the greatest games of all time.

            Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

            Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              yep. I thought the same guys that worked on deus ex also worked on system shock 2.

              in any case, yes, that is the type of game that it is.

                I wanted to just rent this game, but its quickly moving into the buy category.

                    Some have also compared it to an underwater version of System Shock 2 which oh by the way "Irrational Games" also made.

                    System Shock 2 to this day is considered as one of the best Sci-Fi horror games ever made.

                      Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

                      Where's the end of the demo?

                      I was in a room and a couple of splicers were about to break the glass to attack me and then a promo video aired. I assume that was the end of the demo.

                      Levine was the guest on Hryb's latest podcast and he described the game as a FPS. I would probably describe it as a FPS/Adventure game. The opening scene reminded me a little bit of Lost.

                      The demo was about 45 minutes long and very fun to play.

                      Garnett from 1up said Bioshock is a GOTY contender. He's played the retail copy and he couldn't stop talking about how great the game is.

                        The atmosphere. The lighting. The controls. The graphics. I got the same feeling playing this game that I got when I played Resident Evil for the first time on the original Playstation.

                        This game is a must buy.
                        I couldn't agree with you more.

                          Awesome game...the "end" of the demo was just frustrating. Seeing the splicers banging on the glass it was like some underwater 'Night of the Living Dead'.

                          I kept walking around looking at all the set details. This game just oozes quality. Looks like Madden will get one week of play and be shelved while I venture through 'Bioshock'.

                          I can't wait!

                            I'm debating on whether or not going with the Vets league of Madden due to Bioshock. I can see myself getting lost in this game for a couple weeks while Madden goes on the back burner. I'm going to give Madden a good day or so and make my decision.

                                Just finished. Very intense. I echo everything that everybody has said so far.
