Bioshock follows in the tradition of great games like Silent Hill and Condemned (where there is a combination of problem solving, suspense, violence and fantastic storylines), but Bioshock raised the ante quite a bit. Bioshock has a broad range of upgradeable weapons that, while being essential to any traditional shooter, are unique in ways that make them enhance the feel of Bioshock rather than making it feel just like any other shooter. You also have a strong variety of upgradeable powers (called 'plasmids'), as well as interchangeable upgrades to your stats (called 'tonics') that add a RPG feel to the game. With a sophisticated but easy-to-learn control scheme, as well as a virtual inability to die (by means a 'vita chambers'), the game is accessible (and able to finish) to beginners and strangers to shooters, while three levels of difficulty provide challenges for the veteran gamer. An engrossing and original story will keep gamers intrigued, and alternate endings guarantee replays. As with most shooters, there is violence, gore, and strong language, but I never felt it was excessive or irrelevant, but it does have a mature rating. Bioshock is an amazing game and a break from the mold of traditional shooters, and anyone craving an original game should definitely buy it.

The gameplay is great and offers an extremely diverse choice of tactics for any engagement. Furthermore the plot is possibly the most deep, intellectually and philosophically intriguing story line I've ever encountered in a game. Buy it, you won't regret it.

I really enjoy playing bioshock. Its such a cool atmosphere and concept for a video game. The only cons are that there is no multiplayer (I really like coop games) and some of the weapons/abilities can be a little clumsy... and after a while you will probably get sick of hacking.

If you're looking for a truly compelling gaming experience, you're looking right at it. This is the most driven, intriguing story you will ever experience. BioShock is the most captivating video game ever to be created, and it will go down in history as such. Never has there been a game that weaves all of its elements together so flawlessly. Although there is no multiplayer, the game is worth keeping if only to play through again and again to find things that you may not have come across the first time. Or second time. Or third time. The story is quite long, and never is there a moment you wish you could speed through. BioShock is like a meal at a five star restaurant; you'll want to savor every last morsel for as long as you can. This game will live on as one of the best. Ever. And you simply must play it.
