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?

I got this game the day it came out. I was not dissapointed. The graphics are simply amazing. The water is probably my most favorite example of the stunning visuals. The game play is smooth with a lot of action. There special abilities you acquire as you play are fun and different. There is something intrinsically satisfying about freezing a guy solid and then shattering him with a quick hit from a wrench. The difficulty levels reallly make a difference on how you play the game. The big brothers are very difficult to kill in the harder difficulties. There is replay value, one because it is just fun to play, but secondly there are diffent outcomes with choices you make that will change the game up a bit. Overall, this game is worth playing and I would recommend it to any FPS player who is looking for a something a little different than the typical point and shoot games.
