 Deserves 5 stars. "Rootkit" is a misnomer., 2008-08-17
This is no cookie cutter first person shooter.
This is a GREAT game with:
A fantastic plot,
an interesting, unique gameplay
a beautiful, unique look,
and fine voice acting with a great soundtrack.
There are those who wish to punish any company that tries to put any kind of DRM (copy protection) on their games.
Those are the people giving this an undeserved 1-star rating.
I agree that DRM punishes honest users and does nothing to stop pirating.
However, this game is worthy of a 5-star game-of-the-year rating.
And the rootkit business is bunk:

Enjoy!

 twisted. creepy. great prospects ruined., 2008-08-11
the game looked great. it had all the makings of a 5 star game. that said, it's too twisted, too gruesome, too sadistic. they could've gone in much better directions keeping the same gameplay/campaign style game in tact. if you don't like scary things, (like i don't), pass on the game. it's not worth it. halfway through, i'm done. too creepy.

 Bioshock smells like it had more than one in the stink, 2008-08-09
Bioshock is a great game....for about 40 minutes. After that its story gets convoluted and tries to be smarter than it is. And like most things that fall into that hole, it throws in a M Night Shamalayn patented "twist" into the mix, which fails miserably.
This game had promise, it has an interesting mechanic and decent graphics, but the story leaves a lot to be desired and the combat is repetitive and boring.
Its a shame as what I read the original story was going to be, involving cult deprogramers and the like, was scrapped for this horrible stuff.
Download the demo, it will leave a better taste in your mouth and you won't get to the crap nougat center of this game. And you can avoid all that license protection stuff too. Fun times.

 Don't buy this game., 2008-08-04
This is quite possibly the most boring game I've ever played. Not to mention it screws with your system and you can only install it three (3) times-- *ever*.

Paying to rent, 2008-07-28
Don't buy this game. Will NOT run without an internet connection. It is one of the many new PC games that installs a very intrusive copy protection scheme on your computer. It is very hard to delete this software from your computer cleanly. The game requires an internet connection even though it is mainly a single player game, so it can check to make sure you are using the software properly.(to the manufacturer liking). Basically you are paying to RENT it.
