Bioshock Preview and exclusive PC content
The preview
Wanderlust and Violence - Hearing about the open nature of Rapture's levels had us wondering how large these zones really would be. Those expecting some sort of Oblivion experience have been barking up the wrong tree but the levels are definitely large enough to get lost in. Multiple levels with side passages and meandering pathways can make Rapture a confusing place to visit. Thankfully you'll have a map to help navigate the area. Unfortunately, the areas are filled with bad guys...
The differences!
Everything from weapon selection to the interface used to swap plasmids in and out has been changed and optimized for the keyboard and mouse set-up on the PC. "The PC version is further behind the Xbox version," said Levine. "but it's further behind because we have more time on it since we don't have to submit it to Microsoft so early." The changes we were shown during the demo were welcome considering the number of PC versions of games that don't get the proper attention. While not final, the interface worked very smoothly and we were more than happy with the functionality. Even little things like being able to select the gun using the number keys and ammunition type for that weapon by hitting the key again makes things quicker. We're also pleased to say that they added in an entire drop down menu for the weapons on top of that which allows mouse selection of weapon and ammunition. Those little touches are in more than one place...
