C'mon - a whole underwater city! The scope could have been great and the 'water as a threat' gameplay could have been really interesting and different. Instead we got a damp ghost-town. Still, a good game with some interesting ideas. Just not the legend it has since become. Also: Ken Levine isn't stroppy enough.

The funny thing is, after the fanboys spent months crying about how it was a flawless masterpiece and slagging off all detractors for not "getting it", even Levine came out and admitted he'd ballsed up the end. First two-thirds were awesome, though. The last third is shit.

The game did get easier as you got more tooled up. After a while progression was pretty much a formality. You're dead right there. The balancing thing really struck me, definitely.

Bioshock is a beautifully put together game with brilliant art direction but it does get very dull, too much reliance on <strike>Pipemania</strike> hacking sections and much surely be the first game where the bosses (the big daddies basically) get easier and easier to defeat the longer you play? Final boss was rubbish too. Other than that I loved it ;) Nope you’re right Pat.
