I on vacation, so I missed it when it first came out.
This demo proves everything I've seen in videos, and backs up all the hype it's garnered over the past several months.
Few games get atmosphere right. Everything you see, everything you hear, it all contributes to an amazing experience. Ken Levine knows what he's doing, he did it in System Shock, and he's doing it again.
The shot when you come over the ridge, and the speakers introduce Rapture, it just blew my mind, all of the sudden, I was IN Rapture. The suspense before you enter the medical wing, the fear as you're approaching the splicer with the baby carriage. On top of the atmosphere, something he's done before, it's actually fun, the control scheme keeps the action fast and furious, the plasmid and weapon options promise to keep every battle interesting.
I could go on, but you all probably know how I already feel, and needless to say I'm getting the special edition the day it comes out.
Oh, and
Bioshock.
