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 turned out to be a fantastic game. The overall game experience pulls you in to the story very well. The graphics are first rate and the voice overs and storyline are excellent. The characters are also interesting and creepy and are seemlessly part of the story. The slicers are fast and The Big Daddy's also pack a wallop. Game load times were fine and I did not observe any glitches with the game. Gameplay was mostly smooth with no issues that I could fine except one thing.... as I played the game I noticed I would get occasional freezes that really ruined the game. I looked it up on the internet and found out that when this happens, you must clear the hard disk cache for the game. It was easy to do by loading the game while holding down the right and left buttons above the triggers. Once I did this, problem solved! Other than that, I have nothing else negative to say. If you get the chance to play this game, do it. It is a must buy!
