It's good - but I felt like it was just the version of System Shock that was finally made simple enough (with injcreased combat) to gain decent sales.
I still think that overall, Deus Ex and System Shock 2 are probably the two best examples of thinking FPS/RPG story led immersive games.
The art direction in Bio was great but the character models seemed a little 'off' to me. The story was good and well told but they fumbled the ending a little. The gameplay was actually simple and linear and used the Deus Ex 2 approach to giving choices (there's a vent, a hacking station, guns, powers, take your pick) when in fact your route was linear. I also thought the combat was only okay but not as good as say HL2 combat.
Still, it is a very good game - just maybe not the total masterpiece the industry was desperate to tout it as.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
