So, finished my first run through. As I am using Gamefly, I am torn to send this back for Bioshock 2 or keep it. I feel I'm not finished, but...

I thought it was absolutely awesome in nearly every way. I personally liked the severe reduction in equipment management because I am an impatient ho. I played as an Adept and finally felt like I had true biotic control of battles. There were entire fights where I barely even shot a bullet (shields and such first here and there). No Mako is love, yay. I'm now playing as a Paragon Infiltrator and it's great how different of an approach I take compared to my last character. The cover system is just so much better, too. To be frank, I would recommend IGN's 6 minute condensed synopsis of the first, skip it, and move along to the second.

Complaints: Why is there an ammo system all the sudden; scanning planets is ridiculous; AI still needs some fixing, especially Jacob, who seems to die every other second; teammates all over the ship became annoying when I needed to speak with multiple members; and why won't Illusive share his cigars and alcohol with me.
