I think Bioshock Infinite just does certain things better than Bioshock, while Bioshock does other things better. I feel like Bioshock has the better and deeper combat system, while Infinite has the better and deeper story/characters. However I don't think there's anything wrong with the combat in BI, it's just not as complex as Bioshock. The sky rail was a really fun addition to the combat in BI though once you get the hang of it.

Gameplay: Bioshock
Setting: Infinite (just barely though, and only cause Rapture is more limited by its closed in spaces opposed to the open world of Columbia)
Story: Infinite (will undoubtedly go down as one of the best video game stories ever)
Characters: Infinite
Innovation: Bioshock (but Elizabeth is a big achievement in innovation where Infinite is concerned)
Replay value: Bioshock

So if you value gameplay above all else in a game I think Bioshock is the winner, whereas if you prefer presentation values (story, setting, characters) Infinite is the winner.

For me:

Gameplay: Bioshock
Setting: Bioshock - Infinite I think just doesn't capture the same fell and believability as Bioshock did. I laughed when Booker first used the Sky Hook when he said "it must be magnetic" lol. Yes Booker, because the shit is unbelievable what you're doing, lol.
Story: I haven't finised Infinite as yet so can't pass final judgement. Although, Bioshock's story was quite good, so Infinite has its work cut out for it.
Characters: Hell no. No way those bunch of Republican zombies are as good as Splicers, Little Sisters and Big Daddys, etc.
Innovation: Bioshock, definitely.
Replay value: I don't really replay games, but I assume in this day and age, Infinite will have a bit more replay value.

I think as of all the elements (Music, Graphics, etc) that make up a game, Gameplay is always King. So if Bioshock has better gameplay, which it does so far, then Bioshock IMO would be the better game.

Quantum levitation is real technology and does involve magnets. A lot more realistic and believable than an underwater city imho.
