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.

A good excuse to experiment with BioShock Infinite's often underrated combat, but the overall experience still feels somewhat underwhelming.

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

Liked the original and this one was a bit disapointing. The ending, while interesting, was a let down and a half. No way out kinda' stuff, like Mass Effect 3. Some of the things you could do were neat, but I got bored and just trudged through til the end.

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

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.

Bioshock Infinite, the third in the Bioshock series albeit nothing to do with the original two Bioshock games-- with an exception for the ending. I'll preface this review that the game has had many issues since I pre-ordered it on release day of March 26, 2013.

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...

BioShock Infinite on its release earlier this year received the sort of critical praise that would make a pop-star buy a private jet in an orgy of self-congratulation. Flawed but hugely ambitious, Irrational created a sweeping, involving narrative and world that left many gagging for more.
