In Bioshock you are the only survivor of a plane crash over the ocean. You find a light house and you find you way underwater to a utopian city called Rapture. Here you will find out why you are there and what happened to the city, which is in ruin after some event. First of all I must say that the enviroments are amazing, not just from a graphical standpoint but just the syle of it and ambience. Posters for business and products are all over and give you a sense that you are indeed in a lost city under water and not just a level in some game with walls and ect. It makes you wish there is more of it to see. The people who lived in rapture have become "splicers", these are people who have abused the genetic enhancements that are sold all over the city. Now they are disfirgured and unpredictable, they happen to be all over the city. Also inhabiting the city is the duo of the little sister and the big daddy. In order to survive, you must deciede wether the little girls live or die. But in order to do this you must take down the big daddy, which looking like a huge diving suit with a drill, moves with alarming speed. There are are also plasmids and tonics with give you abilities such as telekinesesis or making you self invisible. The game has a good story and intesting characters, even the splicers who inhabit the city have something to them. You will see them scavenging around the city, preplexed by something that happened to them before the city fell. The game has three difficulties and two endings. There are vita chambers in the game that basically respawn you after death, I reccomend you download the free content that will give you an option to disable them. This will give the game more reply value as well as some new tonics and plasmids as well. I reccomend this game to anyone who likes shooter that have more to do with it that shooting things. No that it is cheaper, that is even better. Go pick up Bioshock today, would you kindly?
What's great about it: Presentation, Graphics, Voices and Music and great enviroment
What's not so great: Ragdolls act strange but that isnt news

This game is one of the best I've played in awhile. The gameplay is superb and the environments really are stunning. My only real complaint is that the game is too short. It has definite replay value but gets a bit too easy after a few times through.
What's great about it: Fun Game, Great environments and Gameplay

I bought this game and let it sit in my house for a month or two before I played it. I read good reviews about it, and I thought it looked good. When I finally picked it up to play, I was blown away by it within the first 3 minutes of the game. The graphics were great and the sound was intense on my surround sound system. At times I felt like I was actually in the game. The game is highly addicting and I found it hard to put down. Best of all it has a story line that you can get into. It is very well thought out and has many twists and surprises.
The only flaw I had with the game is that the action got so intense at times than my system could not handle it and the game got choppy. After a few seconds it returned to normal. This is very minor though considering the totality of this game. My only regret in purchasing this was that I did not play it sooner. I can't wait for Bioshock 2.
What's great about it: Overall great game
What's not so great: Game sometime gets bogged down on my system.

This is a great game. One of a kind. The only thing I can say I was a little disappointed with was that there is no multiplayer but this is still a great game

this is probably the best game out for xbox 360 yet. It has a great gameplay that mixes powers with weapons. It has a great plot with a jaw-dropping twist. It also doesn't just come out and tell you the plot but you find out what happened before you got there by listening to diaries scattered around by previous inhabitants. Gets really intense at parts especially if played at night when tired. The only bad thing is that you rarely interact with other characters which is probably because your player never talks which also gives you the feeling that the players are talking to you personally. Another bad thing is that the game is reasonably short but most games are anyway now. This is the type of game that you can't understand how great it is until you buy it. SO BUY IT!!!
What's great about it: great plot, amazing ai, great gameplay
What's not so great: not much character interaction, short
