Video Game Reviews of BioShock
Customer Review: Half Life 2 meets Ayn Rand
Summary: 5 Stars
I really loved this game. But it's so difficult these days to know if you're going to like a game until after you've forked over your 50+ dollars and started playing it. So I've decided to list a few games that I enjoyed for the same reasons: For it's pacing, action, story and style...
Half Life
Half Life 2
Halo
Resident Evil 4
Call of Duty series
Medal of Honor series
So what do all of these games have in common?
1.) Except for Resident Evil 4, they are all from a first person point of view, making you feel like you're in the game, not just watching over your character's shoulder.
2.) While the pace is non-stop action, it has a unique style and intelligence, placing it above the cookie-cutter "shoot-the-monster" style of a Quake 4.
3.) And most importantly, these games have none of that annoying "stop-and-ask-each-character-a-list-of-questions" crap that you'll find in a Semi-RolePlaying style game like the HUGELY DISAPPOINTING FALLOUT 3.
***If you want a slow-paced Role-Playing Game, and you're over the age of 10, I suggest you skip FALLOUT 3 and buy one of the Myst games.***
Out of all the games I've listed here, BIOSHOCK is at the top when it comes to visuals and imagination. And if you've read Ayn Rand's infamous book "Atlas Shrugged" you'll appreciate it even more. Although a warning for genuine Rand fans... If you are a follower of her philosophy, you might be offended, as the makers of the game clearly are not fans of what she believed. But hey, it's just a game, right? And a darn good one.
Customer Review: DRM PROTECTION
Summary: 1 Stars
The DRM protection in this game is a nightmare making the game crash constantly. Unfortunately most of the reviews here don't mention this. Check out the internet and you will find out for yourself. Best to buy the PS3 or XBOX360 versions.Customer Review: Impossible to play... it crashes after first screen!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This game is only trash, bought it a week ago and haven't been able to play it simply because it will crash in my computer which I think its fairly good (Duo Core, 4GB in RAM, the so wonderful nvidia card) and I have not been able to play it one single time!!! Answer from tech support?... check the online knowledge database! It uses 689MB of RAM just to load the game!!! it is a piece of trash, will be inside my next cookoutCustomer Review: Thanks DRM - Another game I WILL NOT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, I was this close to buy this game... after I gave a check to all the reviews here in amazon and many other web places.
Unfourtanely, I install the demo and had to follow wombat2 securom removal instructions to make MY pc free of this.
Is MY PC, not sony's, not 2k's pc!!! If I purchase a home place: why should I let the seller live in my house and do what ever he/she wants?
It was a such good lesson to learn. My advice: Do NOT buy games with DRM like the one that Bioshock haves.
Companies should follow Galactic Civilization II developers example. They have a better way to fight piracy than sneaking inside a PC that is out of their limits!!!
Google: "Galactic Civilizations II, Copy Protection, and Piracy" and you will see what I am talking about.
Customer Review: Securom didn't infect
Summary: 5 Stars
I installed the game with no problem whats so ever. I even checked the folder for this securom but nothing. I guess they finally got rid of it.
