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 lives up to the hype, and not only that, it surpassed it.
BioShock delivers so much new to the shooter genre and could frankly be called shooter/adventure because there are several missions that requires you to do a lot of the adventure stuff, collect items and bring them back, which unfortunately ruins the shooter feeling, even though they fit the story perfectly.
Nevertheless, the totally stunning story and great action elements makes this title completely outstanding and worthy of a purchase - no questions asked.
Many new things will be introduced to you when playing amongst the prettiest water effects to date, and amazing plasmids (gene modifications).
If you're looking for the most new and intuitive shooter to date, look no further, BioShock is what you want.
What's great about it: New gameplay, amazing story, stunning graphics
