Bioshock had the best campaign in a FPS last year. It combined moral choices, storytelling, atmospheric levels, beautiful graphics, an RPG-esque way of leveling your character through becoming a monster [killing the children for Adam] and the horror genre all into one to form a masterpiece. Although it wasn’t online, it was still fun as hell. You could go about taking down a crowd of enemies in SO many different ways, it was fun to think up new ridiculous ways to kill them. The best spell was the fire, you just SNAP your fingers and they burst into flame, skin scorched and screaming as they run towards the nearest puddle. The relationship between the Big Daddys and Little Sisters was very cool and interesting to watch in game not to mention the fucking SWEET plot twist mid game. I loved the game, it was a masterpiece at what it tried to be. It tried to be a deep FPS that was single player only….and succeeded.
It deserved the hype and accolades it received imo. I would definitely have nominated that and COD4 as the two best games of last year.
wow, that paragraph has just made me want to give bioshock another go :^:
