Interesting game. I though it will be dummier, than it actually looks, but came back after few months of waiting - it was worth it. Enemies might be annoying, especially on harder difficulties (they also do respawn sometimes behind your back, which sucks), but besides that and few really minor bugs (like loop of one audio-tape), game is really good and quite hard. It also does NOT take you by the hand from place to place - you are free to go and to lost in Rapture, as much as you want. Whole idea of inventing items is fun, however I've found way too many items for some stuff and not enough for others the entire game. Really fun hacking minigame. Good perks, there are plenty of them, you could actually play as anyone who you want. Nice stylistics of whole underwater world (both music and general look). Interesting achievements (not too tough, but proves challenge).
Generally - surprisingly good game for someone, who does not have contact with anything connected to Bioshock before. I've just finished game on hardest difficulty and I'll start playing again to get all achievements.

That's most likely one of the worst games, that I've ever played. Storyline do not exist (ok, it's flatout after all, so don't expect Oscar for plot). What's worse - graphics look awfully bad. There are many graphical bugs here and there. Game contains totally wrong ragdoll, which isn't even trying to imitate real behavior. Physics of cars and world is awfully bad, I'm gonna risk to say, that the game would be better without it.
The whole competitions are actually good - there are plenty of different stuff to do. Biggest problem with it (excluding really awful physics) is drastic unbalance. There are many competitions, that are simply too ez (like splatout zombie, arena, drift or speed) and some are amazingly hard to finish with no particular reason (yes, night shi(f)t). The way AI's cars behave on some competitions does not leave you any space for errors, despite "easy" mode - cars are simply glued to ground in 9/10 corners, deal with it.

Overall, there's nothing even being close to FUN, when playing this. Mix of poor graphics, non-existing physics, low difficulty level (not alyways, it sometimes get to skyhigh for no reason), stupid bugs and unstability (game could freeze for 2-3 secs for no reason, you could fall beneath track, despite being in the middle of way you should drive, sometimes this thing just crashes and bamm, restart it) gives me a constant question "why do I even bother?".

Two things that put my final grade just a bit are achievements (not sure who is hard enough to have all of them) and Vin Diesel's model as one of the zombies. Really. That's it. In the entire game.
If you bought it due to good memories from 1st and 2nd Flatout, this game will ruin it very quickly. If you got it for free - I still advice to think at least triple before starting this. Playing that game in purpouse other than farming achievements is simply out of my mind (or maybe I'm too stupid to understand pure genius behind it, lmao).

Real deal RTS. Much achievements to gain, much fun to have. They do not make game like this now, which is shame. Had over 500 hours of fun (well, mostly xD).

nice, cool and relaxing game. 80+ lvls, it generally isn't too hard for an adult, but can be very nice stuff presented to a kid. Also - calm music, nice colours and few simple mechanics (I only dislike sliding, but I'm poor at this kind of riddles).
Cool looking game, got it for very small change, finished it quickly (less than hour), but it was still relaxing fun.

Przyjemna gra do nauki pisania i doskonalenia go. Historia mnie nie wciągnęła, ale detale i smaczki (dźwięk przerzucanych kartek, efekty graficzne, muzyka) robią robotę. Szkoda, że taka krótka, ale w temacie gier, które uczą umiejętności, jakich możesz użyć w życiu, a nie tylko w graniu, to i tak (przynajmniej dla mnie) - top. Przyjemnie odstresowuje.

Good reboot. Can be frustrating during first few hours of gameplay, especially with agressive AI on hard (when you pay crazy cash for repairs and do not have much time).
After that - it gets just like Carma 2 or TDR2K. Not sure why, but for me it offers less fun than originals. Might be due to handling (which isn't so arcade anymore), might be due to expensive repairs, not sure. Maps are good in general, however in chapter 7 I did not encounter any big map yet.
It generally offers lot of fun (after learning how to drive), bunch of cars to drive (they aren't so different and effective on default 1/1/1 in slots), ok maps, TONS of powerups (not sure if all of them were necessary imo).
Shame that there are no missions, it would be so much fun. Rest of it are small troubles - like mines, that do not lays on the ground, rolling instead. Few weird bugs in other-than-stock cars (mostly explosions out of nowhere). Poor music IMO.

Generally speaking - good time travel to the past (in mechanics), quite a long game too - after circa 20 hours I'm in 1/3 of the game (I'm trying to do it 100% at once, but still). In some areas it feels like huge mod, but I guess even original Carma wasn't for everyone. Solid 7/10.

Nice remake, bring back good memories. Almost all bad things and bugs remains (most of them are stupid, few might suit as cheesing). Some new errors appeared with pathfinding and objects collision, which is frustrating - beware of swimming next to land and walking next to buildings).
Besides that - almost all remained the same, campaings looks easier than on vanilla from 97 (not sure why), some small balances were made (to make game easier I think).
For discount price it might be a good option, for full - definitelly not.

Proper old time FPS. Can be really challenging on higher difficulties, is quite ok on lowest. Good music, that suits ingame situation and current state of game. Graphics looks nice, although some lowres might be spotted here and there. Like any modern game it contains some secrets to be or not to be found, challenges etc. Huge plus for NOT having anything with paid dlcs (at least to main story).
One of the few games that I've actually struggled with passing on highest possible difficulty (not to mention ultra nightmare, its just madness).
Storyline is not sophisticated, but technical side of it is made good and there are no major bugs or errors. Game runs stable on my pc (w10 x64, r5 2400g, 32gb ddr4 3200, gtx 1070), I do not encounter any internal errors so far, but some bugs might be funny (locked bodies, special attacks without animation etc) or frustrating (not counting kills propertly, especially when on mastering a weapon).
One more thing - gore here is on so high level that if You don't like blood or dislike Satan and pentagrams, you might think twice before start playing - there are A LOT of both of this stuff here.
Game can be really rewarding, if you know how to play, but also quite frustrating (due to being hard). I strongly recommend playing this - either for challenge or for nostalgia comeback in proper HD.

Cool and proper old-style FPS. Shooting still gives a tonnes of fun, alternative story is well based, but in few scenes devs pushed it too hard and all of it feels unreliable to me. Besides that - few minor bugs, you might caught yourself in softlock at few places, bug yourself with swapping weapons, sometimes the game does not like alt-tabbing and crashes after picking collectible. There are also known bugs with achievements connected to collectables.
Besides that - game looks good (not fantastic, textures sometimes aren't even hd), feels really good, entry level is very low, but even hardcore fps player will find a challenge there (Mein Leben! is it's name). Expect some scripts, they are not so dumb and obvious, but you could trick AI here and there, if you know how.
Shame that dlc's are so expensive.

Unforgettable experience, my first game on STEAM, still one of my favourites FPS of all time.

Way ahead from its rivals back in 2005, still looks good after all this time.
Besides - it's just a classic. They aren't making games like this anymore.
96/100 on Metacritic speaks for itself.
