Best gaming experience of my life

I have never been so completely involved in a game in my life. This game literally took over my life from the time I started it until the time I finally figured out what the hell was going on.

From the opening video, I knew this game was special. The concept of an underwater city in the 50's combined with modern- sci-fi involving plasmids that give you powers is one of the most unique stories ever told. This is a game that's story takes many twists and turns, keeps you guessing and ultimately has a great payoff as the final act comes to an end.

I do not feel like the plot of this game needs to be reviewed. I went into this game knowing nothing about the plot except what I have already said and it made it that much more special. I will say, I have never played a game that has this deep of a storyline and keeps you engaged the entire time you are playing (while still allowing you to roam around and experience this beautiful underwater city at your own discretion).

Obviously, the best aspect of this game is the story. However, the graphics and audio are just as brilliant. The design of Rapture (the name of the underwater city) is vivid and beautiful. The 1950's era music and dialogue helps to completely envelope you in this world. As beautiful as the city can look, it is also dark, mysterious and, at times, down-right frightening.

The pace of the game is also extraordinary. There is a lot of story and characters that will be thrown at you, but it is never too much to follow. At times, you will be engaged in tough boss battles, while at others you can roam around and see every square inch of Rapture. However, from the time you start you will not be able to stop thinking about this game and finding out the truth behind the mysterious Rapture.

I could not recommend this game more. It is absolutely the best game I have ever played. It even has replay value as I have bumped the difficulty and still gone through the entire game without getting bored (it is also possible to get 3 different endings).

Play this game. You won't be disappointed.
