After a very very long wait my Bioshock Demo finally downloaded and I have to say it was definately worth the wait. From the moment it starts the atmosphere is like nothing that you've ever ecperienced in a game before. The journey down to Rapture in the bathosphere is absolutely amazing and the sense of fear felt when you see your first splicer is overwhelming.
When walking around rapture its impossible to not be amazed by the stunning architecture but at the same time there's an ever present fear of a sudden attack. I kept stopping because I tought i could hear footsteps or someone talking. This is definately not the kind of game that you would want to let a paranoid schizophrenic to play.
The game not only looks and feels great it also plays like a charm. The plasmids are amazing and probably the coolest thing in a game since the chainsaw bayonet in GOW and I havent even gotten to use all of them yet. When faced with a number of splicers along with a few security bots it becomes very difficult to stay alive but none the less really fun to play. The guns are really cool but do come with very little ammo making it necessary to conserve your bullets. The same is true of the plasmids as they seem to run out very quickly.
I had a feeling Bioshock was going to be game of the year and now Im almost certain. Its gonna take alot to even come close to being as good as this. Woohoo Bioshock!!!!
