Leveling Down

The Little Sister and Big Daddy pair, a scary combination of a ghastly girl and her genetically enhanced bodyguard.

The ride of gaming bliss that is BioShock has finally ended for me. After spending whatever time I could last week, most of the weekend, and Monday night, I’ve completed it. It’s crazy how excited I was to play the game when I first picked it up on Tuesday, but one week later I’m already mentally preparing to move onto Blue Dragon. Still, BioShock is one of the best games I’ve ever played on the 360. Reviewers love this game, but the question now is how much this reviewer loves the game. Do I love it enough to give it a perfect score?

Picking up cars and throwing them at thugs – all in a day’s work in the land of Crackdown.

Not quite done with the game, but with it selling for $17.49 at CompUSA for the next couple of days, I might as well put out the review so you guys can see what I have to say about it before ordering it. I feel like I’m getting close to being done with the game anyway. At this time, I’ve beaten the game once, but only gotten about 500 Achievements so far. But with many of the remaining Achievements only granted for the optional quests, I figure I’ll decide later if I want to go back and get them. I was always curious about Crackdown; the game had almost no storyline whatsoever but the game play seemed fun so I checked it out and was not disappointed. Crackdown is a good example in my book of a game that doesn’t need a strong storyline to be enjoyable – it all comes down to the gameplay.
