Yah i picked this up today too for the PC. A bit worried that my current system wouldn't be able to run it (running GF6800 GT SLI) and to my assumptions, it actually did run it. Although playable, it ran pretty crappy on high settings. Much more manageable on medium settings, but definately not what I'm use to playing PC games on. Its the signs of the time....time for me to upgrade my graphics card soon...
Anyways, I wasn't initially super estactic like I thought I was going to be, probably due to the fact that I already watch all preview clips of it so I knew what to expect. Not to say that the game itself isn't great, its definately unqiue. You really do get the feeling of a world gone mad from the habitants and the effects the "plasmids" have done to people. The atmosphere for the game is amazing though, the best since the Metroid Prime games for the GC. You're constantly reminded that you are under water and the nature of the enviroment will react according to being under water. The levels itself are very detailed and you can see that "Rapture" would of have been one fancy place to live before its collapse. The character models aren't "realistic" in the sense of traditional FPS games, but rather remind me more of the odd ball characters from Serious Sam 2 (but better). Normally I would make note of this since I tend to prefer the more "realistic" approach, but the artistic direction of this game fits the atmosphere much better.
Anyways, I like it so far. It lived up to what I expected to be. Still looking forward to actually battling that "Bid Daddy" and taking the killing route of the "Little Sister". Apparenlty you can actually not kill them and this will affect you later in the game....
