Bollocks.

Bioshock offered to "revolutionise" the FPS genre. And well didn't. They said everything would be interactive, everything would be modifiable. And well it isn't. Why on earth did they hire a ten man team to make water-effects. Water-effects FFS! It would have been better if they had put those ten people to work on stuff that actually affects the gameplay.

Argh. This explains better than I ever could.

Exactly. There is one part at Army Warehouses, with the bloodsucker village that you can explore. Much more interesting than being forced down a series of corridors in Rapture.

Don't get me wrong, I like Bioshock. It's just it is over-rated.

Edit Added emphasis.

Bioshock is an excellent corridor shooter. Possibly one of the best corridor shooters. But it's still a corridor shooter. 1998 called. It wants its gameplay back.
