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.

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.
What's great about it: Great story, excellent visuals, very creepy.

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.

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.

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 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
