I got back into town last night after a couple days on the road... I was well tired but I heard that Bioshock was already available, so I just had to pick it up!!! Also had the pleasure of joining Kinky Nicky, Tattooed Sharon and Joanne for dinner at Marche... MarauderzMY picked up Bioshock as well (gee news does travel fast eh???)...
After a couple hours of game time, I would have to say that the retail game is a whole different animal from the demo... it seems that the developers actually listened to the feedback they got... For starters, the controls are a whole lot tighter...
Next, there seems to be more variations in the behaviour of the splicers... in the demo all the did was rush you in hopes of overwhelming you with their attacks... now they run to healing stations when they are hurt... seek hiding spots in an attempt to surprise you and also attack in packs...
Weapon balance seems to have been reworked as well... In the demo the pistol was overly powerful... I'm glad to see that it has been relegated to pea shooter status in the final game =)...
However, the sync or rather lack thereof between the the audio and the subtitles has yet to be addressed... I wonder why??? It may be negligible for many but I do feel that its minor things like these that actually stop a game from being great...
