I'm very interested in this game. Currently I plan to rent this game but I don't know if I will beat it or buy it. This is because it's a first person shooter with rpg elements, and I don't like first person shooters. What do you think of these reviews? :)

I played the xbox live demo and game seems pretty good so far. The graphics are amazing. Ive read some reviews and the game is being praised for gameplay but Ive read alot beyond gameplay. I think people really like bioshock because of the setting, story and the morale choices you face while playing it. The shooting from what Ive seen isnt too spectacular. The plasmid system seems cool, but looks like it gets boring. I might get the game this week.

Download sites are being inundated as of now with gamers eager to get the demo. So much so that a couple of the servers, including the main site blacked out for a while.

Who here has the demo? I don't have it, only because I dont' have internet to download it. I'll rent it in a few days after I'm done renting Persona 3(check out the Shin Megamei Tensei thread on this forum for my posts on Persona 3). :D

I got the demo last night. Granted, I had to wait awhile, but an hour or so wait didn't seem that terrible considering the hype and the fact that it had just been released to FileShack like 3 hours earlier.

The reveiwes are looking good( they're insanely high as you say)
I'm looking forward to the game release.

he reviews are basically complete! They are great! I

I wonder how it compares to...
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Kingdom Hearts 2, Final Fantasy XII, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario? Those are the other super ultimate 2006 and 2007 rpg's out so far, besides pc and handheld games. Look out for Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Mass Effect for later this year.

I think Zelda: TP may have been the most overall successful rpg of last year(critical reviews, user reviews, sales, fame/legacy). This year it will probably be Mass Effect, although Bioshock could be as well.
