You ever play System Shock 2, from the same devs? You probably haven't because it's an old game that for some reason sold poorly when released despite excellent reviews. The gameplay, story and narrative devices in Bioshock are practically carbon copies of SS2, although the older game had stronger RPG elements and was much scarier.
The shooting in Bioshock was also a bit crap. It felt very stiff, lacking in fluidity and responsiveness. Maybe that was less noticeable for the console crowd but for someone used to playing PC shooters, the combat was really unsatisfying. At the very least, Bioshock Infinite improved on the original with faster-paced, more fluid shooting.
