So PS3 owners can get their dose of Bioshock now? Terrific, it's a great game that everyone should have the chance to play. I hate console-exclusive titles, limited to one platform for reasons entirely connected to MONEY and not at all for the benefit of gamesplayers. So that's already one reason why I hate the idea of exclusive downloadable content for the PS3 Bioshock.
It's a gimmick that excludes people who loyally bought the game on other platforms. My advice is to NOT BUY the initial releases of 2K games in the future, because you are likely to get stiffed when they come out for another platform with extra exclusive content. There is a rumour that 2K games also plan to visit everyone who bought Bioshock on Xbox or PC and personally piss on their bonfires, block up their sewer pipes with rolled up newspaper, and spit on their pizzas before delivery.
The content itself looks servicable but slightly drab, and very familiar to anyone who's played the game - the video preview explicitly states though that the extra content has no connection to the actual story of Bioshock. Wow, great - I always thought the story was a drag in the actual game, if only they could have taken out the one element that made the game great before now!!! Terrific news - it's like the main game only a whole lot worse BY DESIGN!!! Guess what - you get to shoot things some more, in some new areas that look kinda like Bioshock. I guarantee that you could load up any area of Bioshock once you've completed the main story, and that if you look around you will find rooms and whole sections that you didn't visit on your first run-through of the game.
In short, I feel like this content is an utter waste of time. A sizable group of 2K game-creators have spent their time working on some servicable 'rooms' for an existing game, when they could have been working on something even faintly original and different. What next? Bioshock World Tour with another set of drums to buy?
