this is a could-of-been-amazing game, but wasn't. the only thing really amazing about this game was the graphics. it would of been so much better if they would of put an online multiplayer on it. the story was WAY too easy to complete. i had it beat within 3 hours. other than that, the control scheme was amazing. the idea of diffent powers was cool. but it just wasn't up to par in my opinion.

This game is packed full of a lot of action, if you can get into it right off the bat then you'll play for hours. I cant wait to get my hands on Bioshock 2 should be picking that up this week. Its out already but I am slow to getting it..
If you like Bioshock I recommend going and getting Bioshock 2 you will not put down your remote..
What's great about it: Game Play is good, keeps you thinking and your fingers busy!
What's not so great: A little slow starting out but once you get into the game its fun!

The first ten minutes of this game are amazing - just breathtaking. The gameplay concepts introduced, along with the art design is some of the best I've ever seen in a video game. However, after about six or eight hours of gameplay, I was having trouble convincing myself that it was worth playing at all. After awhile, it seems like the programmers quit trying to wow you with visuals and the levels turn in to the standard science labs and grungy hallways you've seen in every first person shooter. The RPG elements are really cool at first, until you realize most of the upgrades are just to make certain items and abilities work the way they were supposed to in the beginning. For example, you need to get very far in the game for a health pack to actually fill up your health meter. You can purchase fire and ice power up, which seem very cool at first, until you realize that they have almost no effect on enemies. Again, you have to upgrade them twice before they do anything. It's fairly easy to find Adam ( what the game calls experience points) in the game, but the upgrade stations can often be few and far between. When you have a lot of Adam, you can't find them, and when you have none, they are everywhere. An extra annoyance is the ability to use up health packs when your health is full. Used to GTA, I kept hitting B to reload, but I was just burning up valuable items. The shooting mechanics have almost no strategy to them at all and bullets are at a premium, so most encounters are solved by whacking enemies with a wrench. Next generation gaming, huh? Everyone told me I would LOVE this game, but really, it was only barely worth the clearance price I paid for it. The final boss was a cliche on top of a cliche, and easy to boot. I felt had accomplished nothing by completing the game and I got the "happy" ending. Oh and the security cameras. If those go off, you should just let the robots kill you. Don't waste your time. In fact, if they take awhile to kill you, its even worse because you have to wait. Waste of my time. I thought cameras and sentry guns were dated in Goldeneye, ten years ago.

first and formost is the gaming engine, what a game boils down to is how fun it is, and this game is amazing. its a sick combination of action and horrer, fighting with both guns and powers and a great story line. the first thing you will probably notice when playing this game is the best graphics in any game yet, i would place them slightly better than those of gears of war. overall, this game is revolutionary.

Bio shock being one of the games with a good amount of hype delivered what was promised. Great gameplay, story, graphic etc... When i first heard of Bioshock and that 2K games were the makers I laughed. I mean the same makers of "Hour of Victory" trying to make another game. But it was really the demo that changed my mind. The fact that there are many different ways to play the game (plus that no one else will play the same way) really caught my attention. many challenges plus smart A.I. make up for not having a online gameplay (sorry multiplayer fanatics). I can say that Bioshock deserves a nominee for game of the year but only time will tell...
