Why is Bioshock 1 so praised?

Well, if Bioshock 1 nailed greatness as critics say, playing it safe would only mean you have another hit in greatness. Can't improve from perfection right?

 

The story was certainly more interesting, and I don't agree about difficulty. All Bioshocks are easy games.

 

If gameplay was kinda repetitive...that means on Bioshock 1, gameplay was kinda repetitive too.

1. If the original BioShock was a 4.5 on the difficulty scale, then the sequel was easily a 2 on the same scale.

2. BioShock 2's story was less interesting from the get-go because it takes place in Rapture just like in the first game. I am not saying BS2's story was bad or anything, but it simply didn't feel like anything special to me..

3. Not really.. BioShock 2 is more repetitive and tedious thanks to those Little Sisters.. They don't add ANYTHING good to the game.

4. The combat was slightly better in BioShokc 2 though......

5. Playing as the Big Daddy kinda took away from the tension, because you are playing as a damn beast!
