This helps mostly but I still found it hard to understand the messages sometimes, tapes mostly I think. Also I was getting some sound glitches in the later levels, no shotgun noise when firing and stuff.

I was just looking at the soundtrack because I loved it. There's a listing here: http://bioshock.wikia.com/wiki/Soundtrack and an mp3 of Beyond the Sea here (Bobby Darin version).

I'm also looking for a list of all the things the Little Sisters say, some were quite eerie.

Win!, I've had Beyond the Sea for ages since I bought of of those 'music to watch girls go by' compilations, some awesome stuff, will have to investigate the other tracks

Have a look at Oink if you can, there's a new addition that seems to have most of the licensed songs and loads of ambient music/noises.

Cool, sweeping now.

Although this will probably tip my ratio over the edge on Oink, never have managed to get to 1.0

just completed bioshock, thought the ending was a bit pants and the final boss was insanely easy / obvious. Will probably play again on hardest setting just for a kick about, but i dont think it has the longevity that oblivion and farcry has.

All in all I think the sound, music and voice acting in this game is top notch.
:above: i've never been more creeped out by "how much is that doggy in the window"

Also, Chocolates is better than grapes

Yeah, I thought the ending cinematics where a bit lame, both of them. But most of it was revealed before you get to the final boss anyway. I'm tempted to go through it again, taking the path of good.

Finished Game wrote:Good game. Shame about the boss. Enjoyable though.
Very satisfying when they all jumped on him and stabbed away :D

Does the good-ending cinematic make any more sense than the bad ending?
Apparently I'm a mean shit and release splicers on the surface or something.

Just cause I tugged parasites from young children..

All Endings - Wikipedia wrote: Three endings are possible depending on how the player interacted with the Little Sisters. If the player did not harvest any, the ending shows the rescued Sisters returning to the surface and living full lives under Jack's care. Otherwise the ending shows Jack turning on the Sisters after defeating Fontaine; at some later point, a naval submarine carrying submarine-launched ballistic missiles comes across the wreckage of the plane, where it is surrounded by bathyspheres and attacked by Splicers. There are two variations of the "harvest" ending; if the player only harvested Sisters, Dr. Tenenbaum's voice during narration is harsher, while if the player both harvested and rescued the Sisters, Dr. Tenebaum's voice is softer and resigned in tone.
