There were some interesting moments, for sure, but one you feel good about taking down a Big Daddy, there's no real challenge left and you're just going through the motions. Also, the "choice" that the game dangles in front of you ends up being pointless; in fact, you get the better ending if you make the "wrong" choice. I liked playing around with the powers, and I especially liked taking pictures, but hitting hundreds of crack-addict-esque people got really boring.
