Wow, what a thrillride. Absolutely packed with atmospher, mood, and exciting gun-battles from start to finish.
If I had any complaints, it'd be that even on medium it felt very easy. Now, it never really felt like I was just breezing along with never any challenge what-so-ever, but the main focus of the game is presenting to you a story of a place called Rapture and the people that lived there, and not necessarily on putting things in your path that will stop you cold. I understand why they did it and, to an extent, I even agree with it, but those looking for the biggest challenge of their life won't find it here.
That aside, everything else is utterly amazing. The graphics, the art style, the atmosphere, the audio journals, the voice acting, the music, and even gameplay. A worthy contender for game of the year.
