    well, that's what i'm playing right now, BioShock.
    it startet as a quite normal survival-shooter with a stiffy gameplay and a lag of innovation, but after some hours it turned out to be an extensive and fascinating masterpiece!!

    right at the beginning you have nothing more a pistol and a wrench with some ammunition, as every survival-game starts, but the role-playing-elements are far more extensive than the game suggests you at the beginning. after some hours you relaize that the game contains so much shit it's getting somehow confusing:

    - (genetic) body upgrades (alike Tron 2.0 or Deus Ex)
    - plasmids (hard to explain... it's like genetic weapons O_o)
    - hacking (yeah, hack turrets and security-cams, groovy)
    - stealth (somehow, if you want - depends on your upgrades)
    - saving ammunition (Silent Hill-like)
    - doing researches (via shooting photographs of the enemies!)

    and the game features many game-play-like things you might already know from System Shock (yeah, it's from the same guys).

    the story is astonishing great, really. somehow flattened at the beginning, but with continuing story it's getter deeper and deeper, with plot twists and shit!
    and not like it's over after 6~7 hours, nope! i'm just now at... maybe hour 10 or so, and may just passed half through the game (again it reminds me of Deus Ex).

    and it's athmosphere is really dark and the creepy elements are really good. i don't want to spoil you so you just have to believe me with this ; )

    the whole style is cool made, like a retro-dystopia-world in the early 50s, but with sci-fi-elements. the story-background and the dystopia of "The Rapture" reminds me of the universe of Brave New World. but just some miles under ground in the atlantic... wtf

    well, to come to an end:
    BioShock is a stylish survival-rpg-ego-shooter with a cool storyline and weird spooky things to explore and so full of stuff it's confusing and astonishing at the same time.
    if you get past the first few hours to get known to it's features and get used to the stiffy controls you'll like this as hell. really.
