---------------------------------------- -------------------
The good:
An excellent story
Amongst the best writing and voice acting in a game
Gene Tonics do a great job of re-imagining stats in a way that doesnt break immersion
Big Daddies are cool

The bad:
It uses System Shock 2s story
Most game elements are self-sabotaging, or undermined by other aspects of the game
Ridiculous visual style
Morality and philosophical allusion are badly implemented


Score: Okay

About my rating system.

Awful - Admit to liking this game and your friends and loved ones will forsake you. And you'll be arrested.

Bad - Really just a game for series/IP/genre diehards.

Okay - Not bad enough to be bad, not good enough to be good.

Good - Good ideas, good design, good execution. It's good.

Excellent - A very special layer of hell is reserved for people who don't own this game.
