    C'mon, please, don't give the "No multiplayer" argument once again, this is no Counter Strike or whatever it is that MP junkies prefer playing. Some games are meant to be single player, I hate it when people mindlessly tag it as a negative the absence of MP no matter what the game in question is. Also, "Too easy", how so? "Not as open...", how so? I for one find most of the games fairly easy 'cause you usually can save as often as you want and you can usually retreat if things get messy. I like action games like DMC or NG for forcing the player to face the action up front, it's inevitable, but what also is inevitable is complete linearity of the game. Different games, different goals, different methods. Elaborate, imagine GR writing only a report card for their reviews like you did, they'd have been pretty useless.

    I dunno, i think a multiplayer would be pretty sick for this game. Not sure why they didn't even put in a bad one, like the first Splinter Cell mutli.

    not enough to convince people. at least give a few points to each one you made! especially the multiplayer part, which it seems nowadays people only play for that.

    so your saying captain they should of put a bad* multplayer in. why to fill out the game you think?? im glad this game came out, so what if you can't play online multiplayer i really wouldn't want too anyways with halo/cod/stranglehold on the line up. this game is better than your review and your arguement put together, mnaybe you should go back to playing it and realise just how incorrect you are. i mean too easy?? have you tried hardest difficulty? have you been smashed across the room by bouncers, so what if you have to rummage through crates i like that. the city is in ruins and your left to scavenge like the splicers that live there. and as for freedom well no game is totally free, if you want freedom get gta.. pfft.

    the trouble is with the multiplayer debate. with a game with so much depth as bioshock it would just seem as an add on to the game, grand theft auto is a prime example of this. as AINTD said "Some games are meant to be single player" because i guarantee if some shoddy mutiplayer addition was added to the game, you'd be complaining about that.
