All I hear about, especially from the Giantbomb crew, is how the story and atmosphere and  stuff in Bioshock was amazing, but the gameplay was kind of bad.  I don't see this at all.  I had a blast playing this game.  I liked the guns, I thought the shooting was great and satisfying, and I liked the way they looked too, especially once you started upgrading them, they had kind of a steam punk look to them.  I also loved using plasmids.  There were a lot of interesting and fun ones to used, like the insect one.  Doing different combinations based on your situation was tons of fun.  I thought all the controls and movement were just great.
 I think the gameplay was one of the highlights of the game.
 
Oh, I also liked collecting all the items and stuff by going through all the chests or cabinets and stuff.  I don't know why but I love that in games.  It has to be a mental condition or something.

I share the same feelings. In fact, I bought the first Bioshock a few months ago simply because I loved playing it. I like the way the guns feel and all that.

There's a laundry list of junk I could go through with this game. It just felt really tedious to me after a point.

I enjoyed it, the 2nd was better, but the first was fine.

I liked it, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact I rarely FPS and I don't see a lot of what people are talking about when they discuss what makes shooting good in a game. As far as I could tell, Bioshock had it. At the end of the game, though, I wasn't really shooting, I was just sneaking up behind people and headshotting them with the crossbow for lulz

I hat first person games like that, just like in racing games i have to see my character, that is why i love fallout 3 it is a combo of both.
