I disagree, Comstock is a much better antagonist than Fontaine and he wasn't meant to be Ryan 2.0

I didn't say Comstock was meant to be Ryan 2.0, just that he's less entertaining to watch. As for Fontaine, he's a magnificient bastard aka repulsive and impressive, whereas Comstock, while having a good backstory, is just repulsive.

Excellent game
I've followed the Bioshock series since it's beginning, so I jumped on the next opus. And it did not disappoint.
Bioshock Infinite is actually both close to the previous games, and very different. The atmosphere, universes, and gameplay are similar, but Infinite is less gloomy than its predecessors and the Survival Horror elements have been lessened. Mind you, some levels are still astonishingly creepy and Columbia is a nightmarish dystopia, but overall, it's much less disturbing than Rapture.
Story-wise, the plot is excellent, although the ending is VERY open and left for the player to interpret. Booker and Elizabeth both get believable character development and their interactions are heartwarming, and while Comstock and Fitzroy aren't villains as charismatic as Ryan and Fontaine were, they both have a very detailed backstory showing how they went from average citizens to violent extremists.
Gameplay wise, Elizabeth is actually very helpful for a damsel in distress, and will save the player more than once. Otherwise, it is pretty similar to most FPS.
The bad elements: the auto-saves are time consuming, and loading can be a pain, but overall, it's not that troublesome. The game is very linear, and being reduced to two weapons, while adding in realism, can also be problematic at times. Only a few special powers and gears are actually useful, so the player will stick with a few.
Overall, while not perfect, Bioshock Infinite is an excellent game one should buy and try.
