I agree 100%. Not since the Half Life games have I been so dissapointed. Although I will play the game again to see the other ending....

Hmm, interesting...
How good is the replay value, then ? Is there any ?

I've been playing for a week now and it's costing me some sleep, just like all the Civ games 
I think this game is great. Unlike most shooters, Bioshock doesn't get boring halfway. There are plenty of stuff you can do, of which taking photos is my favourite, and plenty of ways to develop your character. Sure, the game feels very scripted, but that's part of what makes it interesting. Big Daddy fights are really that great, and the way you fight them evolve as more weapons and powers are given to you. I also like U-Invent very much.
The storyline is fine. It may be a bit cheesy and to some extent predictable, but how it unfolds is great. The excellent voice acting certainly helps a lot. I've seen both endings (yes, I fear no spoilers), and while I was like "Wth" at first, seeing how the story culminates into them is makes them feel better. Overall, I think this is more fun than Resident Evil, the closest thing to it that I've played and which I found fun.

Depends on you, I suppose. I think I wouldn't mind replaying the game twice just to try out different ways to complete it. The first time round is like walking in the dark, not sure what your style is. The second time round you should be better able to focus on getting what you really need and play very effectively. Third time round... Maybe I'll try to win only using the wrench
The character development is really what gives it replay value.

You'll want to play it twice, one killing all the little sisters, one saving them all. maybe jumping a difficulty for laugh. After that, with no multiplayer functionality (for the 360, a principle I agree with) it's the type of gamew you'll stumble across in a year and play again cause you can't remember exactly how the story goes. But don't expect to play it over and over like you would Saints Row or Oblivion.

I wonder if there will be mods for it.

Afer playing through it a few times I think all of the reviewers were hi when they reviewed it, its a great game, but a 9.5 for this is way to hi, mayby an 8.75. It just didnt do anything revolutionary....but unlike most everything it did what it did do well.

Without a doubt. One of the video reviewers suggested that some sick fellas will make a little girl nude patch XD

Sick youknowwhats.
They're going to have trouble hosting that. Even if they have their own domain, I bet Unisoft and a LOT of groups nad probably the police too are going to go after that with torches and sharp n pointy pitchforks.

Anyways, mods won' be out until next year (like anything major anyways), I'll buy it next year then.
EDIT: The author (of this vid) likes the game still, even if most of the vid is comparing to to System Shock 2. Waring: Very fast speaking narrator.

It seems that there might be some Downloadable content coming in the near future.

I think that fact that you can kill little girls in the game is bad enough. Even if the little sisters are supposedly monsters, I would feel guilty for do that.

Well, if they try to charge people for that content now, (even without this pre-knowledge) they are going to get a nice big fat backlash. Having to pay for something already in the game is BULL. Even if they aren't going to charge for it, they should still release an editor, a lto of games have survived many years BECAUSE of the editor.

Well, PrinceScamp, it is a known fact that a lot of 360 DLC is actually on the disk in the first place and all you are downloading is the key to unlock it. MS even makes this easy for the developers to do.

That's dumb. I'm glad I don't have a 360 then.

Without deviating TOO much from the thread of Bioshock you know what I think Xbox Live really needs? mods made by fans. I mean you can do it for the PC and I think simply looking at Civ shows how well it can be done. The idea of having 'official' mods all the time just seem to curtail any potential development you can have with games you've completed and just forgotten about.
I'm going back through the game now on Hard and saving all the little sisters just to see the new ending. After that there better be some brilliant DLC otherwise BIoshock's getting put on the shelf and forgotten about for a few months.

And finally the money question. Is it worth to pay 50€ for?
Maniacal

FIFTY euros? That's like $71 Canadian! that's way overpriced. Most new games are $60, some are $50.

Honestly no........the games only about ten hours long......

Then it's settled, I'll stick to dwarf fortress.
