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?

Bioshock is the best shooter I have played in years. The graphics are amazing, especially the water effects, and the level of detail really helps to create the creepy atmosphere of Rapture. Think Half-Life crossed with Resident Evil. Controls are very intuitive and despite having so many weapons and plasmids at your disposal it is very easy to switch; the game keeps controls very simple. Lack of multiplayer is not an issue with this title as the levels are so immersive and versatile that you can replay the game with a totally different style. Am nearly finished with the game and I can't wait to play through it again, this time saving all the Little Sisters. It's rare that I'll buy a shooter that has no multiplayer at all but trust me, this game is worth it. An amazing accomplishment and I can't recommend it highly enough to anyone with a X360.
