Infinite is about constants and variables. An opening seaward journey to a lighthouse echoes the original more closely than might be expected, given creative director Ken Levine's intention to differentiate beyond BioShock 2's conservative return to Rapture.

The first downloadable content for BioShock Infinite is all action and no story, but can the game still entertain without its best feature?

Survival mode suits the game's wide range of weapons and equipment well, and the Blue Ribbon challenges are a clever incentive; Some interesting unlockables and Easter eggs

None of the maps are especially well designed for straight combat and they do get extremely hard quite early on; No new gameplay features

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. And now, there's also a gimmick. Episode 1 of BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea isn't a story that sheds new light on BioShock lore, but is rather a story that stitches together two worlds in ways that don't enhance either of them.

Beautiful sounds and visuals; Several standout moments with intriguing allegorical implications

BioShock Infinite's mechanics and narrative devices don't make sense in Rapture; Easy; throwaway action sequences

Graphics doesn't make the game. And here's the proof why. Such an overhyped game and what did we get? One more linear game.

The graphics are pretty damn awesome; Perhaps the best looking UE3 title on the market right now; The game has an ending, thank god; Ken Levine was involved in the process of making this game; Excellent voice actors and music.

It gets repetitive very quick; Many of the weapons feels less powerful than what they appear to be; Almost every weapon works the same, no matter if you use the Vox's or the "standard" ones; Most of the plasmids, or VIGORS in BSI are downright useless; I kept using only Possess and Shock Jockey.

It's been a long road from the aeroplane over the sea above Rapture's lighthouse, through the darkly lit gloom of Booker T. Dewitt's office, to the soaring heights of Columbia's city in the sky.

The question that lots of people may be asking is did we really need a BioShock Infinite expansion? The events of the story saw things tied up by the end, although we all also came to realise that there's much more to the BioShock universe.

It was a lot of fun, graphics are decent but the setting felt so different from previous bioshocks it was hard for me to love the game. I was sad to see the big sisters disappear too. Fun game all in all, happy I didn't buy it full price from gamestop.

BioShock Infinite's combat isn't strong enough to hold its own with the story stripped away, but if you loved it (and many did), this might be worth a shot.

The trailers for Bioshock Infinite cause a bit of a stir because it appeared to ditch the well trodden aquatic environment of Rapture for a strangely bright steampunk world in the clouds. How would they reconcile the new story with the old? Would the new game be worthy of the name Bioshock?

Bioshock Infinite places you as Booker De-Witt, a grumpy hired gun and veteran of the U.S. Cavalry, owing too much to too many wrong people, but there's a chance to wipe the slate clean by rescuing Elizabeth, a girl who's been imprisoned high up in the flying city of Columbia, suspended in the air...
