What makes Bioshock One so amazing?

I love the atmosphere and the storytelling was great. The twists were actually twists. At least, that's why I think it's so amazing.

Thank you to everyone who told me that i MUST finish Bioshock 1. I just finished it a few minutes ago and yeah, it was awesome.

I think it's the fact that it felt so original. The idea for an underwater city was far from original, but the way they pulled it off was superb. The story was also great. Activision can pull off good games if they're given time, instead of rushing a new sequel every year. Still have no idea why people called it scary, though.

Maybe you just really really love Pipe-Mania?

It's probably nostalgia, Bioshock 2 improved on Bioshock 1 in every way except plot which was still on par. The only thing Bioshock 1 had was it's freshness which to me only counted for anything on the first playthrough. Maybe playing Bioshock 2 didn't remind you of seeing Rapture for the first time quite so well.

I don't know. I actually couldn't get into Bioshock One. I never finished it and it sits unfinished on my shelf.

I couldn't even force myself to finish the demo. I downloaded it from Steam when the game was on sale this summer to see if I'd want to buy it since it was so well regarded, but bleeeh.
