I had really forgotten how the city felt to walk around, it was awe inspiring at some parts, especially at the start where you come across Ryan's mega-bust. The different areas of the game, Fort Frolic especially, were gorgeous and showed how much attention to detail had gone into the world itself. I too hope that it isn't all ruined with Bioshock 2.

Sunlight for the plants. Anyone care to prove me wrong about that? Oh, and then of course there's the fact that the entire thing hasn't flooded after 10 solid years of leaking. Okay, so the since is borked. But it is very pretty and high brow in the thought dpeartment for an FPS... oh, and surely it was propelled to heady new depths? No? Okay. =P And the fact that an engineer down in Rapture managed to make a security system based on pipe mania is something that really made the game for me. Didn't exactly add the world per se, but it added something. @Haplo: Here’s another thing they needed to make the environment sustainable. Sunlight for the plants.

They obviously had food, water, oxygen, etc. But it seems the real problem was elsewhere, something far more intangible. The old saying 'Man cannot live on bread alone' seems to come to mind.
