ouch @ WKC,

You wont appreciate Bioshock if you havent played a lot of shooters....Bioshock is different from the rest is it not ? I'm gonna buy it for 9$ soon and see if Bioshock 2 is worth my time.

I've played a whole lot of shooters but I still didn't enjoy Bioshock.

OT: Perfect scores are handed out way too often nowadays, the perfect ten has lost all meaning for me and I tend to read reviews only as pure entertainment or to pass the time. Rarely, if ever, do I put much stock in the reviews and the scores, I find myself disagreeing so often that there simply is no use in trusting them any more.

Let me guess: Your opinion on BioShock is skewed after playing System Shock. Right?

Yes. And Deus Ex, and Half-Life 2. Bioshock promised me a revolution that never came and it manages to be repetetive, even for a shooter... It has 2-3 strong points but easily twice as many weak points imo so I never quite mustered the energy to finish it (I did play for quite a while though).

Not surprised. Lots of PC gamers I know who played SS, Deus Ex, and HL2 thought BioShock was a "downgrade" from those games mentioned.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I never understood the praise for Bioshock 1. Never found it that good.

thats what i thought till i played through it. It is still the best game i played on my 360 yet (granted i dont buy too many 360 games just the top ones or cheap ones that i have interest.)

I played it, but I always just felt that it was just another FPS. Never really hooked me in.

Wow, I guess WKC is not as good as some people had hoped it would be. Not surprised at the HEAVY RAIN and Bioshock 2 scores. I imagine those 2 will be considered two of the better games for the year

ergh no

it got a similar reception in Japan looking at amazon user reviews & famitsu scores + general impressions.

Most people shouldn't be surprised at all.

cool I simply imported it as:

1. Its the first proper JRPG for my JRPG Virgin PS3

2. The other option is SO4 which is even worse apparently

3. The online could keep me addicted, its like a free 2 play MMO

4. I NEED A FILLER BEFORE FF13 TO MAKE TIME GO BY QUICKLY

But I would say if you have a limited budget & want JRPG's wait for FFXIII (confirmed to be awesome) & ROF (unconfirmed as awesome as of yet) in March, pokemon gold remake too.

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Never let someone else dictate what you play. A review is that persons opinion on the game. There are games that some reviewers have given 3's to that I throroughly enjoyed. If you are interested in a game at least rent it and make your own opinion
