No it is not an RPG like System Shock was - and I would so far rate System Shock 2 much higher in terms of gameplay, even with its outdated graphics. I don't think another game will ever capture the sense of dread you got from the audio alone in System Shock 2. That game was a masterpeice - along with the original Thief. Thief 2, and 3 didn't capture THief 1's atmosphere as well.

That said, BioShock might have a thing or two going for it in the way of atmosphere, but I have yet to delve deep enough to form my own opinions. Let it be known though, I am very jaded (seen it all, done it all) when it comes to gaming, so I will be it toughest critique. I already know it will never catch System Shock 2, but it still could be very good.
