I'd first like to say, this game is far from perfect and definitely a game that non-bioshock players may find frustrating. please read this whole review... Because this is an excellent game, but you as a player need to learn the control schemes, the importance of setting up traps, and some good cash flow and adam management. To someone who's never played any of the bioshock games, this is an 'older 50's sytle SCI FI shooter'. Your task and situation is a bit different than the first, rather than a lone wolf, in the first, you're a famed or rather INFAMOUS 'big daddy' as pictured on the front of the cover. That means that everyone is gunning for you, as they know you normally carry copious amounts of ADAM. Personally for me, this game-style is really addictive. This game utilizes the 'save anywhere, anytime, any reason function' ... USE THIS OFTEN ... doing so will net you 25G for not using a 'vita chamber' i.e. checkpoint; so DON'T DIE and continue, load a past checkpoint. Personally I saved before every 'triggered encounter' ... protecting little sister, big daddy fight, big sister fight, or otherwise 'tough' part. As a shooter it's ok, as a sci-fi action game, its great, as a strategy game, it's fun. 2k has done an excellent job getting you into the 'mood' of the game. Overall though this is a spectacular game, with graphics that are good, the challenge is good and fair. I will say that the ending (at least for me) wasn't super climactic. I hope this helps you decide to put this in your Q because this STILL plays great to this day.
Oh side technical note, if you have some HDD space, install this game to your HDD to get some faster load times... it REALLY helps. There aren't a LOT of load screens, but if you're saving as much as I did... it's worth it.
