Can't remember my favourite bit, it has been awhile since I played.
The submarine sinking I remember quite well though, and the golf clubbing.

Might replay it soon.

Whoops, sorry about that, gang. Quiz should be up and running now.
It is. And I bested it in 58 seconds flat. Nicely done & challenging!
I was robbed of first place thanks to you :p

Anyway, making that Bioshock 2 preview thread really paid off..

But my favourite part would be the introductory ride in the bathysphere as well. You hear Ryan's motivational speech, and suddenly you rise over a cliff, violins swell and BOOM "I give you...RRRAPTURE!!!" Shivers over my spine every time I see it.
That opening scene is god to me. I recently picked Bioshock up again after pre-ordering Bioshock 2; since then I've watched that 'cutscene' at least 10 times and it never loses its effect.

Solid gameplay? The mechanics were terrible. The atmosphere was the only redeeming quality.

I disagree. Not innovative, certainly, and not awe-inspiring, but definitely solid.

I think we can all agree that the game's final chapter is complete crap, though. Escort mission into piss-weak final boss? Yick.

Wait, what? Only 30%? I've played it twice!

My favorite part would be... "I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out wrong!
That one, too fat! This one, too tall! This one, too symetrical!
What's this? An intruder!? And he's ugly, so ugly!!"

I loved pretty much all of Bioshock except the ending. The setting was awesome, the voice acting was awesome, the attention to details was edging on obsessive... one of the best games ever in my book.

...Except the final boss. Yeah. Let's forget about him.

Blargh, somehow I confused Kittens with Puppies, so it took me two tries. Otherwise that was easy (or possibly I have a really good memory)! Still ended up with 9th place even with 2 attempts.

6 out of ten. I don't really have the patience right now to get a perfect score.

Favorite part...I'd say the beginning. It was scary and you didn't know what was going on.

To be honest, I wouldn't even place this game in my top 50. Yeah all the magic was there in the beginning, but that wore off for me...and I felt underwhelmed. I found the game boring and it took me over a year to beat it. See Yahtzee's review for my complete thoughts.

Though I'll still play Bioshock 2.

70% on my first go. That's damn good for me. It was that one question Which song was composed for Rapture? It took me all 4 times for that question. Still I got a 50th which is a respectable score and time for me.

Finally got 100% after four attempts, I went through every option for the audio-diaries manufacturer before I got the right one. I can't wait until my pre-ordered copy of Bioshock 2 arrives tomorrow.

Solid my ass. The plasmids have less stopping power than an airsoft gun, yet somehow require a nuclear fission reactor to use. This takes away alot of the atmosphere since it takes away any incentive you have to attack big daddies (except of course where the game decides to be an even bigger dick and force you to). Many enemies that are clearly basic infantry can take several clips of machine gun ammo before dieing, and that's the anti-personnel rounds. The heads of splicers are apperently non-corporeal since shots go right through them without any ill effects. Of course, none of this would bother me if it wasn't for the parts that stole your guns and the fact that the game doesn't even supply you with enough ammo to, how did Yathzee put it? Oh yeah, "worry half a scout troop." Do you know how difficult it is to be forced to beat an elite bouncer to death with a wrench? I'm amazed Rapture could have a civil war considering a three man squad would require more ammo than what it had at its height.

My favorite part was Andrew Ryan's speech. That was really well done.


My favorite plasmid was definitely insect swarm. It was the last plasmid I used against Fontaine.
