Once you get past the hurdles of installing the game and installing an emulator for your controller (unless you have a legit Xbox 360 controller), the game is very good. There are things that you have to get used to as far as how you pay or get things you need since they are unconventional. The story takes you through a journey as you discover who you really are and what you are really doing in rapture, an underwater city. It took me hours to get it to work but once it did it was well worth the effort

This version will no longer install due to the fact that an “autopatcher” is running during the installation process which tries to download updates from a 2K server that is no longer operational. The installation exits and removes all the files it copied leaving you with nothing. There are aome hacks out there but most take you to spamware/spyware sites, so be warned.

I'm only part way into this game so consider that, according to reviews I have quite a bit left. This game is a different shooter, and not real easy (on normal). I don't rush through these and this is taking me a long time or so it seems though I only have time to play here and there. You get a lot of different weapons that are pretty cool, but you have to use the correct ones on the right targets so it can be complicated. You get bio-weapons where for example you can set things on fire or electrocute. You also have some typical weapons like various guns, and you can swap from the bio to normal weapons. You have to find a fair amount of things and the environment is creative in design. You have to build your capabilities through the game to proceed and have different choices along the way. You can find a fair amount of ammo but it is not that effective on some things, I end up having to figure out how to take down specific types of targets and that can take time. That is the hardest part of the game for me, you can't just shoot stuff. You might have over a half dozen weapons you can attack with, but many of them only work on certain targets. You may need to use one to slow them and another to take them down. If you cheated and read up it might be easier. You don't really die in this game, you get renewed in a chamber near the area you died in. But it sets you back some and so far has not made the game easy because of it. There are a lot of hidden things to surprise you, another reason not to run in this game. A sentry gun can take you out in no time after you walk around a corner without looking closely. Or a group of crazy people can swarm you and you are done for. So if you like a shooter that is not the typical, and is more complex in how you attack with more diverse weapons....you should have fun with this. I'm playing it on an AMD 5000+ and a GF 7950 GTOC, it is very smooth.Read full review
This game is unusual because the story line is better than the grphics or gameplay that is common in today's pc game market. The story is set in 1960, in an underwater city named rapture, you are a survivor, who was taken to the city after a plane crash on a submarine. Rapture was meant ot be a Utopia, but as soon as you get of the sub you realize something is wrong, thus sets out a great mystery/horror/conspiracy story. The gameplay is OK, but the game is almost too easy, because if you loose all your health, you are simply re spawned in one of the many envira-chambers throughout the game. This makes the game incredibly easy and mindless. The graphics in this game are OK, they are somewhat cartoonish, and the enemies look like zombies from an arcade shooter. The story is very linear, an arrow directs you almost the whole game, allowing little time to explore and take in the city of Rapture. But once again I must reiterate that the intriguing story and scenery is better than the gameplay.Read full review
I would have given this a 5-star rating (SHOULD have given it 3!!), but for 2K's lack of support in the resolution problems! It has great graphics, sound, storyline, animation, etc! It is would be a FANTASTIC game----if only I were able to finish it!!! The game keeps crashing 2 levels from the end! I went online for solutions, re-installed it 2 additional times, even reformatted my hard-drive (because of files not being deleted upon un-installation, thus causing conflicts with the new installation!) just to get this game to work! NOTHING, NADA, ZIP, ZILCH!!! I REMAIN unable to enter Olympus Heights, and this frustrates me and pisses me off to no end! Perhaps if I did not receive a busy signal everytime I called 2K Games, I would not feel this way! It looks as if I will never be able to finish the game; if anyone would be so kind as to tell me how it resolves (there are 2 endings, I know--"good" and "bad"), I would be forever in their debt!!! :o) :o)Read full review
