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 and most involving single player experience I have had in quite some time. I am enjoying every plot twist and exciting turn the game takes! Using the enviroment as a weapon was so revolutionary for me, so not only can I use my shotgun, but I can light that pool of oil on fire with Incinerate and create a fire wall between me and my enemy! Or even electrify water to zap them!
Never have I been so deeply engaged in a game's storyline. This game is much, much more. At first, i was discouraged from the game because i thought i didn't like scary games much. BioShock truly isn't very scary, and the only thing that will scare you is having an enemy turn out the lights and then attack you from behind. that's how smart the AI is. I give this game a 98 out of 100 because it doesn't have multiplayer - but its still one of the top 3 games I have ever played.
