Ok dont go by what IGN says anymore people...
They said that the Metroid Prime 3 had the best console FPS controls ever and ugh sorry to say but i really wouldn't rely on reviews that much anymore(go out and play it yourselves) cause since Bioshock the review system got all screwed up for this year and if Bioshock gets a 10 without multiplayer then any game that is alittle bit better than Bioshock gets a 10 and looking at the upcoming lineup... Thats alot of freaking 10s people and if i would rate Halo 3 it gets a 10.4 in my book but i rate my games on a scale of 11

That's one thing I have to debate about. It's like everyone has to expect Multiplayer in every FPS for some reason. Look, the fact is, not every FPS has to have MP mode. Yet I do not feel that it should be a factor of what the game's review score should be. Even fighting games with no ONLINE have gotten crazy 9's or 10's. So when I see a FPS with no MP, that just means to me "Wow, someone who doesn't want to be like the others and have a really depth storyline instead of mindless shooting like Quake 3....thank god"

Seriously, I think Multiplayer is fantastic, but you don't see people crying when there's no multiplayer in games like Zelda now, do you?? Just because BioShock was a FPS, doesn't mean it has to be like the others.

Agreed. Multiplayer isn't necessary in an FPS and I don't think it really would have worked well in Bioshock.

Bioshock was a truly unique game, deserving the 10's it got, and I doubt many, if any of the games coming out this year will be able to live up to Bioshock.

IMO, Bioshock was more of a FPA(First Person Adventurer) than a FPS.
Even though it got all those tens there were some flaws in the game for one the hacking. But hey I never said that it wasnt a bad game but when u buy a game you want some replay value in a game and when it comes to Bioshock or any other Adventure game i dont play it a second time around.




EDIT: Now i have no one to hang out with tonight around me... Everyones gone to the Halo 3 Midnight Madness
 
How is the hacking flawed? I found it to be very fun. Especially since you could just simply use Ice Blast, to slow down the time :)

Its basically the old Lucas Arts game Pipe Dream and it took everyone out of the action

Well, considering it has multiple endings, I would play it through again.

You know, at some point, I think we just have to stop worrying about replay value and everything. Why does it truly matter? If a game is that great, why not just appreciate it as a great game, instead of complaining about the fact that you won't be playing it for the next 6 months. Really, its a matter of quality over quantity.

And, it is pipe dream. I thought it was a little out of place, but I liked it anyways.

EDIT: My situation is similar to yours when it comes to today Fr0dus. :(
