My favorite reviewer is back and this time with hid take on Bioshock. It's always nice to know that that I pretty much completely agree with him on everything except the System Shock 2 references (and that's only because I've never played it).

he is completely correct about the system shock 2 elements. BioShock is basically a complete rip off of system shock 2 but with prettier graphics which basically means that grant it, its great, its truly not original or even deserves the respect to be called a new game. Its like taking Mario painting him blue, change the princess's name to queen apple, name bowser Godzilla, and call it the game Super Dino Hunter.

Correct me if i'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure they made System Shock 2. So you really can't call it a rip off.

If I am not mistaken, Kaz216 is right. So saying Bioshock is a rip off of System Shock 2, is like saying Super Mario World is a rip off of Super Mario Bros 3.

theres a difference between sequals, rip-offs, and spin-offs.

plus the review even calls it a rip-off, and your point on super mario world being a rip off of Super Mario Bros 3 doesnt work because its an spin-off just like Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy.

I believe you mean "sequel".  [edit: by which I mean that the Mario games are sequels, in addition to the issue of spelling.]

And the interesting thing about Bioshock actually being a sequel/spinoff/ripoff is this: If more people had been aware of just how much it owed to the System Shock games, would it have still been reviewed more favorably than Metroid Prime 3?
