BioShock: Why a Good Thing Can Be Bad

Geezer Gamers' Jamey finished playing BioShock, and he has a few bad things to say about the game. It is too short. It lacks choices, (which narrow down to "harvest or save?") It's too easy. Its hacking is tiresome...

On the other hand, here is what Jamey likes about the game: Absolutely everything else. The sound, the graphics, the gameplay, the story. He gives the game a 9.5 out of 10, an imperfect score that reflects his frustration at an "awesome game" that is so close to yet still falling short of being perfect.

(Review score: 9.5 out of 10)
