A Typical Shooter with nothing that stands out from other Shooters, Bad use of the Unreal Engine
http://www.kirupa.templarian.com/r_section_review.png
When the Thread was created here, on Kirupa, about the brand new Bioshock Demo, Everyone was going on about how "Amazing and Magnificant" the demon was, other people calling it "A Shooter 2.0" and "Changes Shooters forever" but I fail to see what makes this Product so Evolutionary. After the very annoying file size for what you actually get to play, this little rascal took the Whole day to download from the marketplace. And every percentage that was completed the more and more excited, but the build up was only going to fall drastically. The download had finished and I immediately Hit Play Now. It Loaded, fair enough, not too long. But the Main Menu came on, with all the options in the Font of the Class Oddworld :: Abe's Oddessey (Even the placve is call Rapture - Rapture Farms is from Oddword), this really annoyed me as I'm such a classic Oddworld Fan, but that wasn't the wrost bit! The Actual Game itself Loaded, and you start out win the water, just swimming for your life are a murderous plane crash, which was obvious to happen when you see it. Then when you came out of the water, your led into a tower which replicates the tower from the game Pirates of the Carribean :: At Worlds End. BUT that still not the worst bit, lots of the Demo you can't actually, play which is actually like cut-scenes without a chnage of camera angle - which was really annoying! And the Game-play, didn't feel revolutionary at all, it felt like yet another shooter which got boring really easily

Bad Frame-rate, Just Another Shooter
OVERALL - 3.5/10
