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?

As the thousands of other reviews have said, it's got an awesome story. That said, the ending (of which there are only 3) is out of place and rushed. One of the creators in an interview said that it was an upper management decision to have only a few ways to end, even though they emphasize all the different possible choices you make throughout the game. Realistically, you could rent this game and get everything out of it, as it has very little replay value (probably twice). But it's worth buying if only to support the developers and get more games like Bioshock made. I'd highly recommend it.
What's great about it: One of the best stories told in a video game
What's not so great: Not many different enemy types, silly shift in story near the last quarter
