Anyone else managed to download and play the Bioshock demo on the Live Marketplace. I started it running at 7.30 this morning and around 14 hours later, the download finished. The servers must really be getting hammered, but I have to say that it was well worth it.
The game is awesome, and I can see why it got 95% in PC Gamer and a perfect score in Official Xbox Magazine.
Definately the game Im most looking forward to now.
Downloading as we speak. Major Nelson (http://www.majornelson.com) has an interview with Ken Levine talking about Bioshock on this weeks podcast, so worth a listen to get it straight from the horses mouth.
is there a PC version of the demo anywhere?

Not seen one on any sites yet, so I dont think so.
Loved the demo, the PC version of it is coming out later this month.
Graphics are awesome, better than Gears of War I think, I thought the opening cinematic was pre-rendered it looks that good. :o
"NO GODS OR KINGS."
"ONLY MAN." :D
Yeah, when you start off in the water, me and my bro were just sat there looking at it for a bit, I didnt realise that I had control, it looked that good. Then it just got better and better as it went along.
Its rumoured to be region-free too:

Its absolutely stunning... was playing it last night on a 120" 1080i projector I wouldnt shut up about it... the bit where the tail of the plane sinks and crashes into that underwater tunnel... its just mind blowing.
On my list of things to try... Might stick it on download tomorrow morning, hopefully the servers have recovered a bit by now
It only took a few mins to dl last night, so I think the servers are coping again :)
Enjoyed the Demo, defiantly on my list :)
i saw the video walkthrough and wasnt impressed really
but maybe ill get the demo
i was really impressed with stranglehold
Having played a couple of hours of this, other than the superb graphics im struggling to see what the fuss is about, its pretty good, but im sorry FPS 2.0 ? not from what I have seen so far!
just been playing the PC demo. not bad, but nothing that screams at me. Could be fun for a kick around, but ill have to see. Wont be rushing out to buy it.
I got the pc demo but it keeps crashing, its always at the same point, where you have to pick the wrench up.
Its not the game as Ive downloaded it twice, its not my graphics card as Ive tried an ati and nvidia.
Any ideas?
Dont have a 360 or a good enough PC so I watched the 6 part youtube video series of this entire demo. Despite Youtubes terrible quality, it looked amazing! And looks a really good game. Ill have to try the demo out myself some time..
Great game, I would say low 9s out of 10, once I got into it I found the atmosphere tremendous, and the storyline and flow of the game superb. Absolute zero replayability IMO though :)
And its a damn damn shame about no multiplayer.
Its a good game, but it seems to be just like HalfLife imo.

Yeah the telekinesis is just the grav gun with a different model.
The enrage thing is just like those spores you get for the bug bait thing.
