After gushing for three long pages about how wonderful BioShock is, it's only fair that we list the drawbacks. The absence of multiplayer will drive away some, though for us, it's hard to imagine this as anything other than a haunting solitary experience. The enemies - which consist only of Splicers and Big Daddies - can seem repetitive, though the ways in which you defeat them is continuously transforming. And the two endings we know of are downright disappointing when compared to the masterful storytelling of the rest of the game.

Really, though, the only glaring weakness we can find in BioShock is that it may be too unusual, too original, too artistic and too genius to be embraced by the general public. Please don't let this game become that forgotten, one-of-a-kind masterpiece. We need sequels. We need more. Go out and buy it already.

Yay, First To Comment! Bioshock is such an undersold legend as the main consumer caj just wants his Need For Speed, and The Wii Family want their Wii Sports! I think I'm gonna buy BioShock RIGHT NOW!

Yeah the trailer of BioShock really shocked me. I mean, he was gonna hit a small child with a wrench! and then he just gets stopped in time then he gets a drill through his hand?! I thought this was a sandbox underwater with a few things to kill. But I loves it anyways!

Great game. I made a profile to comment about this game though because the review I read said that you couldn't see what happened to the little Sisters after you harvest the Adam. If you look closely if you decide to kill her you throw a away a husk that may have once been human shaped and if you don't kill her I thought it was pretty obvious when she thanked you and climbed up into one of the wall vents. Otherwise an awesome game.
