This game rocks. I'm still in the dark about what's really going on in Rapture but the story thus far has been very intriguing. The atmosphere is amazing. I wanna say it feels like Bladerunner meets LOST.
I've not fought any "bosses" yet but the regular old "cannon fodder" baddies seem more important than in other games. It's not like you're killing a foot soldier, you're killing someone else that's just trying to survive in this place. Sure they're crazy, deformed and genetically enhanced, and probably being mind controlled by the big boss, but they're just citizens... I felt horrible near the beginning of the game I went in a room..Spoiler: and heard yelling. After listening to it, it was some dude trying to get back in his house after the wife locked him out. He saw me and panicked.. So I killed him. Then his wife starts hollering back at him wondering what happened.. Then she saw me and panicked... so I had to kill her too.. It takes a unique game to make me feel bad for killing these two no named bad guys lol The AI is smart too. They'll take a few hits and when they're losing they'll get the hell out of there. They're very fast too. It's not easy at all to try to hit them when they're running for cover.
I'll write a full review for the game when I beat it.
