Learn more about Bioshock - Xbox 360. (Flash demo) SynopsisImagine flying high above the arctic seas, anxiously awaiting your descent to dry land. Without warning, the plane plummets to the cold and unforgiving water at unimaginable speed. Once the aircraft makes contact, you realize that falling from the skies is only the beginning of this nightmare. Wrenched into Rapture, a doomed city beneath the sea, you come across a rusted bathysphere. You learn that this once idealistic society, the brainchild of a hopeful group of scientists, artists and industrialists, now has corpses littering the city limits. Going beyond run-and-gun corridors BioShock presents a unique and unpredictable first-person shooter experience in real time. In order to survive an onslaught of assailants, you must take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, capturing security towers and crafting items to protect yourself. Upgrade your weapons and genetically modify your body to evade the grotesque ghouls who are after you. Make meaningful choices and mature decisions to ultimately answer the question: Should you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture or save them?

Review 1 for BioShock Platinum Hits - Xbox 360
Posted by: paradsecar
from St. Louis, MO
on 12/10/2007
Let's get one thing straight from the beginning: Bioshock is not a particularly difficult game. No enemy will re-spawn when you die and your money and items remain intact even when you don't. Although it may take you a couple of weeks to get through, you will get through it without frustration.
That said, Bioshock is a wonderful ride for those couple of weeks you become immersed in the world of Rapture. The graphics, audio, and original soundtrack are breathtaking. The story leaves nothing to be desired and you will find yourself emotionally attached to the various characters you encounter.
Because the game is so unique you will find yourself wanting to go back and put together the story all over again to catch the missing pieces from the first time around. In addition, and without giving anything away, there are different endings to the game depending on decisions you make as you play.
What's great about it: Graphics, Soundtrack, Story, Originality
What's not so great: Fairly easy to complete
I would recommend this to a friend!

Video Review:
(click to see the video)
The story line was amazing, it really kept me going, but i had to keep the volume down because of all the swearing, so i couldn't really understand all of it, but that is not that big of an issue, just go on Youtube or type in on Google or Yahoo, "storyline of BioShock".
To me this game is now a classic and should be in every home. the graphics are amazing and there is PLENTY to explore and discover! And if you have a surround sound system, you will LOVE this game!
Some things you need to know:
they bomb the f word {for all you little kids out there} ; )
there is no nudity as far as I know {sorry guys} ; )
you can get an achievement by not harvesting any little girls
the game is not creepy at all { if you want a game that is creepy play dead space}

I ordered this game after hearing multiple comments on it praising it over the past year counting it came I two years ago I believe. When I first started it, the storyline of it already got me in and welcome to the underwater utopia of Rapture. With a basic tutorial near beginning, I was ready to play through. The game includes various weapons from revolvers to grenade launches. You also have plasmids, which are genetic modifications that allow to to create fire, electricity, ect. out of your hands and to inflect enemies. As you play through the storyline, you meet characters that you grow to hate or to trust which attaches you. The gameplay controls are basic and normal for usual First-Player Shooters which is a good thing unlike other games where it confuses players. The graphics are overall stunning and filled with detail and effort. While not explorable in this game, you can look outside the walls of Rapture into the ocean that surrounds it for beautiful scenery. The enemies range from genetic mutated humans called Splicers, to enormous creatures called Big Daddies which are sworn to protect Little Sisters, orphaned little girls that have been altered by the stem cell ADAM which is a huge concept of the main story. To truthfully say, the only thing people might dislike about this game is that there is no multiplayer, but seriously, it's supposed to be a single player game and I don't think a multiplayer mode would work very well with this game although it was added in the sequel, Bioshock 2. Basically, it's a game that should be atleast bough for 20$, which is a great deal for a amazing game like this by 2K. A must buy for all serious gamers.
What's great about it: Gameplay is fun and easily responsive, amazing storyline, all for 20$. A must have.
What's not so great: May be a bit challenging for newer players if they play on the wrong difficulty if they have bigger egos than the room.

What's not so great: Very challenging at times.

One of the best games ever. It has a great storyline with 3 different ending depending on your choices during the game. It's not a hard game to play either, it's pretty easy to catch on. You'll find yourself playing this game constantly until you beat it. It's scary enough to a point that you would jump out of your seat a couple of times, but not so much that you wouldn't want to play this game. It's one of the must have shooter games.
What's great about it: Great Plot/Storyline, Graphics, Gameplay
What's not so great: Nothing

well before i got the game i had no idea what it was about except that there were big daddies ( giant armored creatures) and that it was in an underwater city ( rivet city). once i got it i realized that it takes place sometime in the 1960s or so that there are slicers ( was once humans) that are trying to kill you and that the once great rivet city has turned into a dark and dangerous place. at the begining its hard to kill all of the slicers and big daddies until you get the tommy gun. that gun is one of the best things in the game. the games graphics are good but not as good as the graphics of cod mw2 but they still are good. the games plot has you exploring around the remants of rivet city. i have not yet finished the game but what i have played so far it is a very good game and that if you like shooter games you should really consider getting this game and playing it.
What's great about it: good price, interesting plot, and a great playable enviorment
What's not so great: too many slicers, and big daddies

From the very beginning of the game until the very end you don't know what to expect. Your heart will be pounding every step of the way. It's a complete psychological thriller. It's a must have game.
What's great about it: Easy install
What's not so great: Very draining on Some PC's

I rented this game because i wanted a good single player game, and I got what i wanted. If you don't have online on your console, I would deffinitely recommend this game. It only took me a couple days to beat, but that's if you play it for a couple hours each day on easy. I expected it to be creepy and scary, and it was at first, but after a while, you can sort of tell whats going to happen. this is my 3rd favorite single player game, behind fallout 3 and halo 3 ODST
What's not so great: Not as scary as you think it would be

If you like FPS games, and really interesting storylines, this is the game for you!
The story is creepy, unique, and even disturbing at times. I normally don't play creepy games, and I wouldn't call this a horror game, but it definately has it's creepy gross moments.
The weapon options are pretty darn cool. What's better than electrocuting people with your hands? or lighting them on fire and watching them run around the room screaming? And its great that you can incorporate both your guns/melee weapons as well as your plasmids (i.e. freeze them, then beat them with a wrench and watch them shatter!) The graphics are pretty good too.
Like i said above, i REALLY like the storyline. So if you enjoy a good FPS, and a good unique story that isn't like all the others, get this game.
What's great about it: The storyline is creepy and interesting, very unique weapons.
What's not so great: Not the longest game in the world.

I won't go into much detail with this game since countless articles, reviews, and blogs have been written about it. I will say that in the months leading up to this game's release I wasn't interested in it at all and thought it would be a huge failure. That all changed when I played the demo. I enjoyed it so much I went out and bought it and proceeded to beat it 4 times within a few months. It is incredibly well done, from graphics and physics to story and light-RPG elements like uprading your weapons. It really is a masterpiece of video game storytelling and the presentation is near perfect. Bioshock is a unique and involving masterpiece that simply needs to be experienced by any hardcore gamer.
What's great about it: Excels in every major catagory.
What's not so great: Lack of actual game overs may turn away some people.

now this game is not for all gamers, but i would say if your willing to try something unordinary go for bioshock. I am a big gamer and a achievement junkie for xbox 360 reviews and i write reviews for xbox360achievements.org on how to achieve them. now this game is very eerie and takes place after being in a plane crash, you make your way in a litehouse with a submarine. the sub takes you to Rapture wich is a place far under the ocean founded by Andrew Ryan a scientist who created adom and messed with genetic coding. Everything fell apart in the city after everyone was spliced up to bad from the adom. its up to you to save yourself and use the adom to your advantage in order to make powerful weapons.
?s msg me on xbox live with any tips on any games. blitz1216
What's great about it: easy to get the hang of. awsome graphics.
What's not so great: hard achievements but worth it. no real cons at all.

When I first loaded the game up, I expected another generic FPS experience. Thankfully, the lights went out, footsteps rushed up behind me, and I was killed in a matter of seconds.
Set in the underwater city of Rapture, the game has you collecting "Adam", genetic material used to make you more powerful, from the "Little Sisters", little girls toting giant syringes. But in order to get the Adam, you must first take out the "Big Daddy", the drill-wielding body guards for the Little Sisters. And it's a lot harder than it sounds. The combat is great, with a wide variety of weapons and ammo types, and awesome "Plasmids", unique powers that you shoot from your fingertips, like fire, electricity, and ice, among others. Multiplayer would be epic, but sadly, it isn't in this game.
Enemies may pop out of nearly every dark corner, making you jump at every shadow that moves, but it's the audio, particularly the ambient noise and dialog that adds to the creep factor just enough to make me want to turn the lights on. The rusty 1950's signs and fading posters decorate the walls and give the game a vintage look that isn't seen in many games.
Overall, Bioshock is an above average game that practically defines what games in the current generation should be like.

This is one of the most unique story lines in a game that I have ever played. The graphics are amazing, the game-play and is fun. The only thing that could bother some people is that it doesn't have a online multiplayer, but the campaign is fun enough that it is definitely worth buying. I can't wait for the 2nd one.

you fall out of the sky into the ocean to find yourself in a terrible airplane crash. when you reach the surface oddly there is a small island with doors in the middle of it that just happens to be there... like it was supposed to be... you then enter the doors to find a sub that takes you to the mysterious world of rapture
the game play was really fun and really responsive and you can make your charactor however you like. you get new plasmids that can shock, enflame, security camera,etc.. and a wide assortment of weapons as well
the storyline was definitly one of the better ones and it had an amazing twist to it near to the end that i dont think anyone saw coming
