This seems to be the consensus about this game. If I were to review this game, I'd give it a 9/10, not a 10, not a 9.5, but a 9.
The reason in my opinion its not perfect is due to the lastability factor.
Back in the day when games were reviewed, the were made up of:
Graphics
Sound
Difficulty
Lastability
It seems these days that you can score a near 10/10 ie Bioshock without performing well in the Lastability category. I think Gears of War was a 10 for lastability because of its amazing online component.
That doesn't mean by not having online equates to a low lastability score. Take Shadowrun, its 100% online, but its not got a great lastability factor because the game pretty much sux.
Hence my point is, lastability should be based on how much replay value a game has and its ability to keep you coming back for many months.
Bioshock does not have this lastability factor. Already, only 2 weeks (or not even) since its launch people have finished it some 3 or 4 times and its pretty much done with. I dont think this game needed a online component, but maybe larger worlds with harder objectives could have extended the life of the game.
Either way it rocks, a solid effort, just wish like everyone one that it was longer.
