It is not often that I play a game, as an adult, and truly feel that, yes, this is something different, something appropriate. BioShock could be played as a brain-dead shooter, but even then, gamers might still unintentionally glean something meaningful from it. It is impossible to enter the world of Rapture without feeling something. The game screams at you to look--See this! Know this! Think! It is immersive and impressive. It is elegant and ugly. And it is here for you to enjoy and play and appreciate in any way you see fit.
And the other is at GamePro with a perfect score of 5/5:
You'll spend much of the game battling and outwitting Big Daddies in order to get to the Little Sisters, and despite the frequency of these encounters, they rarely feel repetitive, a testament to BioShock's brilliant A.I. programming and overall game design. BioShock is one of the few games that actually deserves to be called a "sandbox game," thanks to its diverse genetic powers, weapon modifications, and moral choices. Once you beat the game once-not an easy task as it's a big game-you'll want to start right back over again so you can try out a whole new suite of skills and tactics.
