First off, this game is better than BioShock, and now after playing SS2 I ponder at what BioShock could have been.

I bought it off a friend who couldn't get it running on his XP machine. It took some malarky but I got SS2 working perfectly. What a spooky game, not just spooky but also grotesque and claustrophobic. Certainly a gem from all the way back in 1999.

I can finally go back and enjoy all the excellent PC games I've missed!

i've always heard great things about this game, seems as if possibly i need to find the means to give it a run.

If you do play it, play it in the dark with headphones.

Wow, no-one else eh?

I urge all you Mac users with virtualization software to get this game, I'll help anyone get it running under XP or Vista.

It IS a super creepy game. I'm just also scared of getting it to run in XP (I remember it was a total pain in the bum last time I did).

If you get ahold of the game I have a pack of updates and fixes that will get it working no problemo.

Decided to upload some of the in-game pics I've been taking on my 2nd run through this awesome game.
