For the 360 owners...who's played bioshock?

So the demo came out and I'm just wondering if anyone has had a chance to play it? I played for a bit last night and I got to say one of the creepier games I've ever played, and very twisted. Graphics are top notch as well, anyone else try it out yet?

Getting a new PC and this will be one of the first games I get. It will probably work fine on this one, but even better on a Quad Core PC with a GeForce 88000 Ultra card. Should even surpass the XBox 360, graphics wise.

$1500 vs $350..

Of course it will look better on the PC. It would be pretty sad if it didn't.

Just finished playing the demo, gave a good first impression even tho i thought it was rather short. [yes even for a demo]

The game it self shines on the 360, really good graphics. Could this be the Unreal Engine true colors? Im not sure, but it does shine.

I enjoyed the whole under water and idealistic society setting. Pretty engaging. I like the fact the city of rapture is slowly flooding as you play thru the game. Pretty fucked up shit goes on as i can tell from playing the demo. Gives its M rating: Justice.

Again my only complaint, its too short of a demo. And i wanted to kill a Big Daddy & Little Sister. =\

I will have my eyes on this game...

dont get an ultra. read the review on it on anandtech

looking fwd to the PC version. ambience is something lacking in FPS games these days...

I think the atmosphere is what makes this game so interesting. I also like how the environment is so interactive. But the lack of multiplayer makes me wonder if it's worth a buy or a rent?

couldn't hurt to rent it, and then if you like it, buy it?

System Shock 2 was astounding.

I've got this one pre-ordered. :0

the environments are beautiful, i'm about 2 hours into the game and the level of detail is still amazing me. Voice acting is top notch, I'm getting used to the upgrade system, definitely recommend killing all Big Daddies and Killing / Saving the girls. It gets hard further on. I'm guessing it will be much, much easier on a PC. Still, with this level of detail it's nice to play it with surround sound and a nice big HDTV instead of a monitor.

I guess you'll be able to get Bioshock on Steam, so not sure you need to pre-order it for PC. I remember Steam got a bunch of shit when it was first release, I frigging love it. Don't have to worry about losing jewel-cases and CD-Keys, once you buy a game you keep it forever.

Anyway, so far it's a great game. 96% FPS / 4% RPG

lol - when it comes out i'll buy it. I have an extensive collection of 360 games. That is - those games that are decent enough to buy. Same with movies. Like with Blue Planet; I doubt I would have purchased the box set if I hadn't seen it for free first. So many over-hyped shit games / movies these days. A boy has to be careful teeheeheeheeheehee

Wow. Of 31 reviews posted to gamerankings.com so far, Bioshock has an average rating of 99%.

Is it really that good?

I haven't even downloaded the demo yet.
