IGN: "Going in, I had to question whether Infinite could live up to the BioShock name after having discarded its signature world of Rapture, with its Big Daddies and Little Sisters and warring philosophies, and starting from scratch. On the way out, I'm forced to seriously question which is the better game. In total, BioShock Infinite is a brilliant shooter that nudges the entire genre forward with innovations in both storytelling and gameplay. It trips over itself in a couple of spots, but not in any way that should keep you from embracing it with your utmost enthusiasm." 9.4/10

I'm a little disappointed that Move wasn't mentioned. Does this game still support it?
Then maybe you should retain a little more of a 'half glass full' approach to a successor to one of the best storytelling/storylines in gaming. The term of whether the game is "worth trying" seems ridiculous to me, but maybe i'm just more of a fan of the series than youself.
@LOGICWINS
I did read the full review but people can do what they like mate.. What a dream job this reviewer has, I can't say I would refer to a review on an amazing game as "A lot of work" when comparing to other more mundane, labour intensive and mind numbing jobs.
Ps. High score for this was never in doubt. Levine never disappoints.
Someone haven't seen the ending yet.
Move is already confirmed for Bioshock Infinite, yes you can play it with the move. I gonna play it on my PC in HD glory on Alienware GTX690. PC, 360, and PS3 gamers game victorious!!!!
No, I don't tend to spoil games by reading about the ending before the game is even released. I'm sure it's not that bad, and besides, you're talking to somebody who has a mass effect avatar.
Oh boy... All I can say for you is; don't get your hopes high. It honestly made me feel like crap for even getting the early copy my friend had. By all means, it's a good game overall but it all falls apart at the ending.
With that said, Bioshock Infinite looks fantastic, and I can't wait to play it (gotta finish Bioshock 1 first, though). Almost all the footage shown in the video review was from the PS3 version, and it looks beautiful, so I'm not terribly worried about a shoddy port on that platform.
The internet, ladies and gentlemen.
Sure ME3 doesn't get any negative points for it... but god forbid Ken Levine has a similar system...
the thing is with keyboard all those are quickly accessible via hotkeys, it's not that the controller sucks it's just that there is a better alternative.
can't wait to pick this and God of War next Tuesday(i know GOW came earlier but i am picking up both that day)

i don't know why you have so many disagrees when its a proven fact IGN gives out high scores compare to other sites
but i wouldn't be surprised if this game has a 90% and above rating after all the reviews are in, its suppose to be that good
Kinda expected something like this from an exclusive review.
Is that supposed to mean something?
Mass Effect 3 was terrific.
inb4 "but the ending!1"
I can only run Bioshock on minimum
So obviously unlike most devs they actually put alot of care into the PC version. Opposite to the PC version of Bioshock 1 which was just a straight port and even had some issues with running
With Gearbox software as studio of the year!
/s
I know at some point they'll release a trilogy pack. i may just hold off until then. still have plenty of games in my library i need to play.
You need to play the first. now.
Bioshock 1 was amazing, pure and simple, and this looks like it'll stand right alongside it.
Would you kindly play the first Bioshock?
Edit: Whoops /s Lol
I don't know about everybody else, but you seriously need to work on your sarcasm jokes. especially when you LOL at yourself in the end of it.....
U guys shouldnt take me serious when I laugh at my own writing, was just bored lol. Lighten up im buying the game geez.
Imagine having to write "/joke" at the end of every joke you make... Good lord...
Ideally, there would be no scores and the review would have to be taken on the merit of the words themselves, but, most people consider those scores needed and if I had to pick a system, I would go with Giant Bomb's 1-5, with it ranging from terrible, flawed, good, great and a game that is a must own.
At least you get a sense of where the game's quality actually lies with those reviews.
This, Gears Judgement, God of War Acension, and the The Last of Us in June?
Holy Hell, this is the best spring in years.
"Son, you just went full retard man, you never go full retard."
Kind of hard to take this review seriously.
awesome awesome year :)
that's if you don't trust IGN ....i don't trust them too BTW
but i'm buying this game no matter what the reviews say
same thing with the last of us and beyond
I'm totally ready for this and The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls
I still haven't finished dead space 3,Tomb Raider or GoW Ascension...
I've fallen behind and now another game to add to my stack of games..
Either way can't wait to play this... Soon
Bioshock 1 was unparalleled to me (never played Bioshock 2).
Now for Bioshock Infinite I've been avoiding reading reviews, and story plots, I want to go into the game fresh and unknowning so because of this I am not sure if BI is a sequel or prequel to the original title.
Not as original as Bioshock 1 but still a great game.
Uncharted and Infamous are my favorites but they are PS3 exclusives.
I wouldn't mind waiting for the definitive version.
"It seems Infinite’s stratospheric ambition is a bit too much, at least in the technology department, for the creaky hardware of the aging consoles. The PC version, as run on mid-range hardware, makes no such visual compromises, with gorgeous high-resolution textures, detailed faces, and smooth performance."
From what I have seen the game looks cool, and I will buy it, but IGN reviews sucked so many times, I just lost the count.
