Arguably the best FPS ever!
1 of 1 found this helpful I've played many shooters on the 360. From Fear to COD4 to Gears of War to GTA4 (if you count that as a shooter). The only game close to being as much fun to Bioshock is Gears of War.
Bioshock has the most gripping story line which entangles the player into the post World War II era. For me, the story line is what makes Bioshock better than the rest.
So in short, I'll just say that Bioshock has the best graphics (water!), best sound (both music and sound effects), intelligent AI, awesome weapon upgrades, the best story line.
The cons are that the replay value is really really low, contrary to what some people claim. Once you go through the game, you don't really want to play through it again. Also, the 360 has plasma downloads, which really ruin the game since they only cost 1 Adam to purchase. I recommend staying away from the 360 Bioshock downloads until you've went through the game once.

Overhyped game.
3 of 3 found this helpful In the year of 2008, there were many good games that were exaggerated. COD4 was one of them. COD4 is a great shooter, there's no doubt about that. The graphics, the mechanics, the controls were all superb.
What are the flaws to COD4 then? Well, although the multi player is excellent, the flaws are in the single player. The story for COD4 is decent, not spectacular. The game play for the single player is greatly flawed, but overall still decent.
One of the major flaws with the COD4 single player, was the enemy spawn locations. In COD4, enemies *WILL RANDOMLY SPAWN*. What do I mean by this? Well, I once rushed in and took a small barn. I checked every corner of the barn to make sure there were no enemies. Then, the second I turn around, an enemy pops out of nowhere and shoots me, from inside the barn.
Also, the more difficult modes in single player are ridiculous. Once you play 5 minutes of veteran, you'll know why. When you play veteran mode, you will die from about 2 bullets, so death is nearly inevitable. To make matters worst, the AI *WILL ONLY TARGET YOU*, even if you have 10 allies in front of you.
All in all, this is still a great game, multi player wise. Just know that the single player is overly hyped and almost all the gaming review sites who rate this 9.5/10 are just conforming with each other to keep readers/viewers.

Utter Disappointment
1 of 1 found this helpful I'm not a particularly picky person when it comes to games. However, I was very disappointed when I played this game. One of the biggest problems with the Wii today is that they've incorporated the Nunchuck shaking and Wiimote movement to every game. Instead of the game being fun and innovative, the puzzles become tedious and the constant shaking and movements become irritating.
There were about 15 monsters in the game, total. There were no bosses. All the puzzles are changed from the other systems (360, PS3, and PC) in order to make it a "Wii Exclusive." The whole game is a bunch of puzzles and platforms. They aren't good puzzles either. The puzzles are sometimes really hard and a lot of them make no sense. I've played Tomb Raiders before, and I must say that this one is a far poorer quality.
I have yet to test the game on the other consoles, but as for the "Wii edition" of Underworld? Don't bother.
