Okay, what is it epitome of? FPS? there are better first person shooters. Graphics? nope. Story? this is its strongest point but no, there is better. control? It controls poorly as a shooter. Depth? still nope. Bioschock is overrated. It is a good BUT linear single player fps with gussied up inventory control.

Bioshock controls fine on the PC. The visuals are some of the artistic and abstract of any FPS out there. The depth is a perfect blend between exploration and a linear path with multiple ways of approaching a situation not to mention a simple, yet emotionally effective moral system. So you are WRONG. I can't think of one FPS after Bioshock that is anything like it in atmosphere, story, morality and depth, not to mention artistic achievement.

Doom2 surpasses Bioshock in almost every category.

Don't make me get broodwars in here.

Bioshock is great and all but I still didn't get into it...

[Stratos]

I'm sorry, but a game that has the option between horrendously evil and disgustingly good does not equal 'emotional effectivness' to me.

"Hi, you've reached Broodwars, slayer of sacred cows!  Sorry I can't come to the forums right now to defend a game that was both a critical and commercial success with perfect or nearly perfect review scores, but I'm busy sleeping right now.   If you want to leave a message about how the game's stylized graphics were among the best when the game originally came out (and still hold up well now); the game has a relatively-deep (for an FPS) character customization system based around leveling up your character with photos and plasmids; etc....please do so now, but be aware that I have forgiven the game's main flaw in how the game drops the ball in the relatively lame final couple stages.  Zzzzz....."

COD4 is my favorite FPS. What other FPS has the balls to kill a main character then have you play as him as he dies. It was really on of those "Did that really happen" moments in gaming for me.

Wrong part 2.

Why was there no option to use the little sister as an improvised melee weapon?

Please unpack that statement.
