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?

Overall I'd have to say this is one of my favorite games for the system right now. I'm sure the PC version is great too although I've only played the demo on that format. If you are looking for a great FPS, something that will send chills up your spine and throw you for one heck of a spin towards the end look no further. This is the game for you. Even novice FPS players will find joy in this game. This just goes to show how developers, if given the time and resources can truly make a work of art. BioShock will go down with the likes of Halflife as one of the great classics of our time. GO BUY THIS GAME!
What's great about it: GORGEOUS visuals, Outstanding Sound, Wonderful Story
What's not so great: Gets away from itself towards the end, and very tough
