This pretty much goes without saying, but Big Daddy is nonexistent. As are the Little Sisters. Creepy and fun as they were, they are a product of Rapture, and are not found in Columbia. However, you do have to contend with the Handyman, a giant robot with a human head. You’ll also have to fight the Motorized Patriot, a tall robot of George Washington (at least to my eyes) that fires a mini-gun at you. They are big, they are mean, and they are tough to take down. However, they lack the ominous presence that Big Daddy had. It’s really the only let down in this game.
The big thing, and I do mean BIG, that sets this game apart from every other game I’ve played recently is the narration. There is no half-assing here. As Booker and Elizabeth find out things about themselves and each other, and grow to like each other, you can actually hear it in their voices. It’s some of the best voice-casting I’ve ever heard. I think that if this had been a spin-off CG movie instead of a game, I wouldn’t have felt let down at all. The emotion is seriously enough to bring a tear to your eye.
And to top it all off, there’s the ending. I’m not going to divulge a single detail here, but I feel it should get a freaking Oscar nomination. As the ending comes to the story, and you find out everything that has been a mystery for so long, and you see that Booker and Elizabeth have grown to love each other… there’s really no way to describe how amazing the ending is. You just have to play it. It’s very rare that I feel hatred and excitement and on the border of tearing up in one game.
I feel no hesitation in giving this game a 5 star rating all across the board. I could easily play it again and again. The casting is spot-on. The gameplay is nothing short of flawless. It’s Bioshock, but it’s not, and I can’t find anything wrong with that. It’s a work of art, and worth the three year wait.

This is sure to be a nice game and I will surely play it! Bioshock Infinite FTW! I like the plot of the game especially that it is not connected to the previous bioschock games. This will make gamers anticipate the game more.
