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?

If there is one game that every xbox 360 owner needs to own it is this. Not Halo 3, not Gears of War, not any other game. Just Bioshock. Video 10/10 The graphics are the most amazing I have seen of any game EVER. The "people" look real, the rooms look great, every little detail has been polished so it all looks and FEELS so real. Audio 10/10 Same as video - perfect soundtrack for the situations, very polished and carefully chosen Gameplay 10/10 The (combat) combinations are endless. The storyline is rather linear (there is very little time that you don't know exactly where to go and that there is more than one way to get there. A lot of times there is even a useful little arrow to tell you which way to go) But where this game truly shines is combat. You can incinerate your enemies, causing them to slowly die, stop them in their tracks with a swarm of hornets or a blast of electricity. You can equip tonics that make you a juggernaut with the wrench or make you a great sharpshooter. The game's claim of "No two same play throughs" is very true. Each and every person will have their own style. The hacking mini-game is done in such a way that the transition is perfect. The seamless integration of this game is just another example of the level of perfection this game achieves. Finally, there are actually choices that you have to make and that you actually feel. This leads to the replay value - the game has 3 different endings that depend on the choices you make. Plus its a blast to play through again and again. All in all this is one of my favorite games of all time (next to the N64 Zelda games) Basically it is the greatest game of the next generation. Buy it today!
