==Criticism== There are few points of criticism to BioShock. The recovery system through Vita-chambers, which restores the player's health but does not alter the enemies', may make the game too easy for more experienced gamers. The PC version has slightly better graphics than the Xbox 360 version and the controls when switching between weapons and plasmids are easier on the PC game. The game was also criticized for its wide screen format. Players noted that BioShock "seemed to use a cropping method for its widescreen display, cutting down on the vertical view rather than expanding the horizontal width." 2K Games stated that the field of view (FOV) was designed this way intentionally, and that the "stretching" criticisms were due to a decision to heighten the FOV in the 4:3 ratio, versus releasing a la letterbox with black bars, allowing 4:3 users to see more of the screen. On August 23, 2007, 2K Games announced that they will release a patch that will allow PC users to change the FOV value.
