Bioshock 1 will give you a better playing experience especially on older hardware. Metro is extremely GPU intensive and will make your system cry on max settings. Bioshock 1 is also more polished with no bugs unlike metro which still has its issues now and then. However metro is an awesome game as well just take a little more patience especially in the stealth areas.

Both are amazing, but if I had to choose, I would go with metro, it's just so different from anything else, and I found it much more atmospheric.
That isn't to say bioshock isn't different or atmospheric, but I just preffered metro. From the homemade guns to the having to scrounge filters to breathe on the surface, it just has so much going for it.
Also, bioshock is looking dated now, with low res textures and a fairly standard lighting engine. Metro is still looking amazing (better than most modern games) and has one of the best lighting engines I have ever seen, and that just adds so much to a game set in dank, dark tunnels, you could really believe the world you are in.

But in the end I would say let it come down to which you like the look of more from gameplay videos and just the general art style, because either way you go you will experience gaming at it's best.

I prefer metro. The atmosphere in the game is incredible. Few bugs here and there and may take a little bit of tweaking to get it running smooth (just turn off advanced DX11 settings in gameoptions and turn off physX) but apart from that, metro 2033 is a very good game and i would recommend to anyone who can run it on very high settings

I only had one problem with settings, and I didn't have to turn off all DX11, and didn't touch physx at all. If you have any problems, try turning off the advanced DOF first, that solves a lot of problems for most people. I had trouble with a funny black grid all across the screen when using native res, but once I turned off adv. DOF it went away and runs fine

Bioshock certainly had charm when it came out, the claustrophobic horror setting and the varied combat made it a blast to play through, it doesn't require as much from your system as Metro does (especially when you are in small camps, npcs all over the place combined with all the lightnings and shadows which will give most rigs a great punch in the stomach at higher graphics settings.) But like most of the guys here I would also recommend Metro 2033. Being fond of the dystopia genre and enjoying the living hell out of the stalkers series, this felt more like my thing. Even though they both are ''dark'' games, I would say that Bioshock had a more cartoony and humoristic vibe and quite a lot of ''trippy'' moments to it while Metro felt a bit more realistic (aside from the mutants and Moscow being in ruins of course). The world felt more grim and hopeless in Metro and playing on a higher difficulty really makes ammunition scarce and rare to find, making the overall experience even more appropriate to the setting.

Metro 2033 has excellent atmosphere and graphics.
BioShock also has excellent atmosphere, although it's graphics are now dated. It still looks good, but it can't hold a candle to Metro 2033.

However, I think BioShock trumps Metro 2033 in terms of gameplay. Metro 2033 doesn't explain all of it's gameplay systems, and the story is unpolished - leaving you guessing why you're going here or doing that.
BioShock is a much tighter experience overall, with much more player agency in gameplay.

That said, both of them are great, and I'm sure you'll be happy either way.

Metro its way better than bioshock

[Mega Man Soccer]

Biodhovk honestly blows Metro out of the water (heheh) in my opinion. I just didn't like Metro very much but i LOVED Bioshock. However, i know Metro has a lot of fans.

[Crizyz]

Been a whils since I played both. But what my memory tells me this day, is that Metro 2033 is far more sinister and grim, while Bioshock is more of a certain ridculousness. Bioshock is somewhat more fantasy like, while Metro 2033 is a tad more towards a 'what if' scenario...
Both are great games though, and had my share of fun playing both of them.

If it means anything, Bioshock is probably one of the best games I've played in many years.

[Debacle]

I've played both and would have a hard time saying one was better than the other. Bioshock is longer, I felt Metro was rather short and bit less engrossing. But Metro had that sort of connection to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, so that was a plus for me being a huge fan of the latter. That being said, and if I had to make a choice I'd go with Bioshock, but only because I knew I would get Metro sooner or later too.
