Featuring commentary from game director Ken Levine, the trailer details the open-ended approaches that are possiblevia BioShock's imaginative combat system. You'll see three run-throughs of the Fisheries - thoughtless all-out blasting, environmental manipulation and exploitation of the fearsome "Big Daddy" enemies - and each time you'll see different tactics reaping different results.
