From the beginning you can tell that Bioshock is something special. The amazing visuals grab your attention and never let go. From the mysterious beginning to the mind bending end the storyline is gripping and takes you in directions no other game ever has. The world of Rapture is a beautifully rendered underwater city that has an interesting ruined art deco that will have you wondering what is around every corner. With customization options up the wazoo and battles that never play out quite the same way, the game has quite a bit of replayability. I couldn't write a review without mentioning the iconic Big Daddy and the terrifyingly sweet Little Sisters, which will pose an interesting moral question to players. Do yourself a favor and pick up Bioshock

My Bioshock Review

Pros Cons

When Bioshock first came out and the reviews started pouring in for this game, I was really intrigued. I wanted to get the game right away, but when it came out, I didn't have the time to put into it so I held back for almost a year. When I finally played the game, it lived up to all the hype and awards it received.

The game starts with the main character on an airplane. The airplane crashes in the middle of the ocean next to a tower extruding from the surface of the water. You enter this tower and enter the world of Rapture, a place built so scientists would have free power to experiment as they please and citizens to get away from a structured government. At one point in time, some experiments went wrong and started to transform the population into monsters. Your goal in the game is to find out what's going on, and to escape alive.

The gameplay is some of the best I have experienced, especially coming from a 1st person shooter. The story is well thought-out, the entire game has a creepy feel to it, and you soon find yourself absorbed. Along the way you find "Little Sisters", children that suck out power from dead corpses, and "Big Daddies", their protectors sheathed in a gigantic diving outfit. Every single Big Daddy you fight is an epic battle, with you using strategic powers and tricks to take them down.

The story is told through recordings you find along the way, which makes you search in every nook and cranny to get the most out of your experience. The visuals are amazing; I couldn't get enough of this game.

There is only one gripe I had about this game, and one only. The game seems really short, and there is very little replayability to it. The good news is that the game can now be bought new for around $30-$40 bucks, so it is a definate must buy.

It's almost blasphemous in this day and age to have a shooter with no multiplayer, but this game is so great that it doesn't need it. In fact, it's so unique that most people wouldn't even want it. This game is all about atmosphere, which is delivered brilliantly and would be destroyed by any sort of multiplayer. The setting is an underwater utopia in which society has torn itself apart after the residents went mad due to 'splicing,' which is essentially genetic modification that grants it's user magic at the cost of his/her humanity. When you arrive, the surviving residents are completely insane, rant and rave, and attack you and the Little Sisters. Then they're in for a tough fight with their protectors, the Big Daddys. You'll know a Big Daddy is nearby as it slowly makes it's way to find and protect a little sister, and it's harmless unless you threaten it or a little sister first. You can feel through rumble when a Big Daddy is stomping around nearby, and you can hear their bellowing from quite a distance away. It's truly a unique experience, and I really don't want to give anything else away. Seriously, if you haven't played this already, go get it right now!

Gorgeous game and it scared the hell out of me. I'm not ashamed to admit this was the first shooter that I played for hours. Even with the inexperience, BioShock was intriguing enough to keep me playing.

One of the best on Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals  
Engaging story  
Innovative concepts  

If you think BioShock is just another first-person shooter, you're dead wrong. A captivating story leads you through a mysterious underwater world of bizarrities, including robots, creepy little girls and genetic enhancements. 20 minutes with BioShock and you won't be able to put it down.

Definitely one of the best shooters (or horror games) ever created. Pretty much everything about this game is amazing -- from the graphics to the sound to the storytelling to the controls. A fine game that's rightly regarded as a modern classic.

Best game for 360

Pros Cons
Engaging story Terrible multiplayer

Looking for an addictive game with a great story? Check out Bioshock, which is filled with creepy villains and unexpected twists. There is no multiplayer :( so you'll have to get Halo or Call of Duty if thats all you want. But if you want an experience unlike anything else check this one out!
