8.5/10
First 2/3'rds of the game 10/10
Last 1/3'rd of the game 6/10
Let me start by saying that in my opinion, the first two thirds of the game were incredible, simply stunning in everyway you could ask for. Great storyline, great graphics, fun gameplay, awesome sound and more... However, I felt the story and gameplay really died after the meeting with Andrew Ryan (which i thought was the greatest cut scene from a video game, ever).
My first complaint
I chose to be evil, and harvest the little girls... now after all that why would I be helped by the "mother" of all these girls... I know its a lot of work.. but I felt that the game should have been split in two after the meeting with ryan. Even though i felt this was a flaw, it didn't bother me as much as my next complaint.
2) THE LAST BOSS FIGHT WAS TERRIBLE
The last boss fight/ending to bioshock was a huge letdown to me... As the pcgamer review said.. the last boss fight did not have the dark/gloomy bioshock feel. Instead i felt like I was playing in a fantastic 4 game with good graphics. I just wish that the producers of the game could have created a better final fight that was harder and had the atmosphere of the rest of the game.
3) Speed/Teleport plasmids left out.. would have liked to see a larger variety of plasmids.
But, all these negatives can be forgiven by what I think is the best beginning/middle that any game can ever have. The parts with the mad artist Cohen were simply stunning, as well as the cut scene with Ryan and the medical station level.
I would really love to see how others felt about the game... Up until (and through) the Ryan cutscene it was looking to be my favorite game of the year (as well as all time).. now i feel that crysis and BIA hells highway could top it.
