Anyone else think Bioshock is over-rated?

To add something, I honestly think that Irrational/2K Boston simply bit off more than they could chew with the game. There is a lot of history in Objectivism and its ideals are complex and not exactly tailored to a video game storyline.

But I have to give them credit for not only trying but succeeding in so many ways; that kind of challenge would have sent most developers running home with their tail tucked between their legs halfway into development, even some of the "highly respected" (sic) game storytellers like Kojima.

We should thank them for bringing Intellectual thought into a video game.

How awsome is Citizen Kane?
How much better is it after you know about William Hearst?

Note: Citizen Kane makes Bioshock look like monkey scribble on paper. but you get my point.

All the surrounding elements are there with back story, This could be
"1984" - George Orwell
"We" - Yevgeny Zamyatin
The only thing missing is the main character (because it's an FPS), and Yes thats big but for a video game this is a big step in the right direction. Also I think RPGs (with text, or too many choices) break immursion so i'm glad the didn't do to much of that.

Note: Some secondary characters would needed as well.

Note 2: This wasn't really directed at you rocketpig
