Amazing Game; Annoying Setup
First, I'd give this a 5-star rating everyday of the week if not for some of the setup issues. The atmosphere is tense and makes you want to turn it off, but the powerful story, well-designed characters, and excellent pacing keep you moving forward. The combat functions well; even if it's not on par with a modern twitch shooter, its slight clunkiness adds to the tension since you're not really able to run through it DOOM style or anything. Speaking of combat, the balancing act that comes from mixing plasmid powers and firearms or melee adds a ton of room for creativity, and the game gives you plenty of hands-on lessons on how to get started combining the two for crazy effects, but it doesn't take away your room to find things out on your own or annoy you with tutorials that take you out of the game. They're introduced in natural ways. This goes for exploration, too. There is an objective arrow, but it turns off and sends you off on your own frequently. This forces you to explore and figure out what to do next, but for straightforward objectives, you're not left constantly backtracking or wasting time. Now for the bad. You must use the Win7 compatibility setting. I originally spent three hours trying to get my resolution to fit my screen, and when I would get that, it would crash. Then, audio didn't sync with the visuals when I finally got in-game. These issues were resolved once I switched the compatibility settings in "Properties". Alas, I did't attempt that until after I'd left it on my shelf for about 2 months out of frustration. Despite a poorly labeled requirement that should be an easy fix, having Bioshock DRM free is amazing, and it runs and looks even better than it did back on the Xbox. If you like horror, this is one of the few horror titles GOG offers that is a must-buy.
