Any one giving it bad scores is not justified. I'm not even a Bioshock fanboy! I didn't play the first one until I finished this one (which is another great game). It's told in the best way ever, No video game ending made me this emotional. Even when you think it will become cliche, it doesn't. You care for her, and yes, you care for Booker as well. Also, she is super helpful! But she is not just great AI, she's one of the best characters in gaming. She may not fight in the combat, but she is responsive, never glitches, and feels natural. Elizabeth is the best AI partner I've ever seen. Furthermore, you play a true character! Booker DeWitt talks, a lot actually. The shooting might not be the best ever, but the awesome set design combined with the Vigor Power Ups create some of the best combat you'll ever experience. It is a first person shooter with an incredible setting, wonderful story, great protagonists and fun gameplay. Furthermore, you play a true character! Booker I don't love awarding games a Ten out of Ten. I don't love awarding games a Ten out of Ten. lol.) Bottom-line: A deeply flawed and over hyped game that really did try to tell a good story, but ends up a frustrating and empty mess of a plot with great visuals and decent game play. From the dialect to the billboard adds, it really feels like youвЂ™re in the early 1900s. They did very good research on the era they are portraying. You'll almost never run out of ammo or Salts once you join up with Elizabeth. Very memorable visuals around almost every corner, some are subtle, so stop and take it in! Combat, especially when leaping on and off the rails into melee, is often quite a lot of fun. It feels like the art took up most of the games budget and it shows. (This could be good or bad really.) The Good: The Art design is fantastic! Most areas have something new to look at and explore and even the disturbing areas can be visually appealing. If you reload a checkpoint, the item changes. The Gear you find, which doubles as your customizable character traits, is completely randomized. The Vigors seem a little unbalanced and you are likely to only focus on a few. It became a job just to finish the thing once this dawned on me. I was hooked! I had to know what happens! Then what could have been woven into a fine tapestry turned into a couple of threads hot glued together at the end. It became a job just to finish the thing once The Bad: DON'T think too hard about the plot or you WILL be disappointed! They throw out so many interesting plot threads and potentially deep societal commentary that it draws you in. The Bad: DON'T think too hard about the plot or you WILL be disappointed! They throw out so many interesting plot threads and potentially deep societal commentary that it draws you in. All in all this game as a game is decent but nothing special, a 6 or a 7 maybe, but its graphics and story bump it up to an 8. A boss is reused three times, and besides that enemy variety is only average, with the handymen managing to actually be annoying rather than challenging. The vigors and guns don't match well, and it doesn't help that you are restricted to two guns, which takes out some of the strategic elements of the game. The gameplay is fun enough to go through the story, but it not an improvement on the original Bioshock formula, in fact I preferred the first game much more. This is not the greatest game of the generation, because as a game, it isn't fantastic. The vigors and guns Easily one of the best stories in gaming, with a beautifully designed world and strong voice acting.
