Lovin' it.

Still the game I compare everything else too. That and Half-Life.

The training level sucked a bit. But the game is still one of the best, most intense and atmospheric I've ever played. I rather they develop System Shock III than Bioshock 2.

Eh, how worth is this playing now? I seem to have missed it when I came out although I loved both Bioshock, which I hear is essentially the remake/adaptation of it, and Deus Ex which is supposed to be very similar in its free-form nature.

^I hate to say this but it probably isn't. You just missed the boat on it. You could go back and replay it, but then you'll be where I was when I watched Better Off Dead for the first time only 3 years ago. Yeah it was ok, but it certainly would have been better had I experienced it when it first came out.

One of the main things I picked up from playing Bioshock (and am replaying it now on my new system), is that System Shock 2 didn't coddle the player, whereas Bioshock does. A good example is that in SS2, you could install a telekinesis module but it's range wasn't very far (you had to upgrade it to get items that were out of your reach), and you had to spend a lot of upgrade chips to buy it. And I think you were stuck with it once you made the purchase (? it's been a while).

Bioshock just up and gives you the plasmid, it has an infinite range, and you can switch it out willy-nilly at a gene bank. Of course you can throw things with it now, which is a plus. SS2 didn't let you do that. SS2 was a little rougher around the edges, but it made it better.

RedSky, it's still worth playing. It's a bit dated but the graphics are still okay. To see some real gameplay besides the tutorial level ->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmFMxOY-sLU
