I have to admit, I'm a little torn on this game. On one hand, the story to this game is amazing, and I haven't had a story in a video game resonate with me as much as this one did. On the other hand, the combat... is not as interesting as the other Bioshock games.

My problem with the combat is that most of the time you're just fighting generic people. Granted there are more interesting enemies sprinkled throughout, but they feel like almost pseudo-boss fights. The first Bioshock games at least knew the enemies were mutated because of Adam, so they used all kinds of powers, and were unexpected and interesting. Why didn't they let more enemies in this game use vigors? They were widely available, why am I one of the few actually using them? But I digress...

The story here, is nothing short of spectacular, and what really kept the game going for me. I won't dare spoil it here, but needless to say it'll stick with you for a long time.

Other than the ingenious "skyline" mechanic, this is a fairly average feeling shooter mechanically. The world and story is the major highlight of this game and is an experience all in itself. As long as you don't expect mindblowing gameplay, you should have a very good time with it.
