Very disappointing
I love System Shock, System Shock 2, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Prey, .. This game is nothing like those games. This is those games dumbed way down. This is a weak arena shooter - you go through one possible way, enter open area and then fight. Once you've killed all oposition, you can leave the arena, continue through only way possible, until you reach another arena. Combat is not worst as is supposed in combat-oriented game, but I still loved combat in other games better. There is only one part where you have more freedom of exploration, but it still only meant you need to find arenas to fight. Story starts strong, but later is watered down and ends in rather stupid way. The whole city is explained in a way that doesn't make any sense (yes, even less than impossible Rapture :) ). Graphics are not bad, but all characters look like bad caricatures. Don't even start about that railway gimmick. This should not even be named Bioshock.. this is Hard Reset: Columbia.
Is this helpful to you?
