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 has put a new spin on the average shooter. Not only do you have many guns to choose from to kill the enemy, but you also gain powers (ie:telekinesis, electrobolt: in which you can shoot a bolt of lighting from your hand) that you can use creatively. This game is just a fun game to play. Graphics and sound are amazing. I highly recommend this game to the gamer who likes shooters. Although if you are one of those shooters who like to run and gun and get though the game as quickly as you can, I wouldn't recommend this game. This game was meant to be explored. If you can do that you'll love the game.
What's great about it: New and clever ways to kill the enemy
What's not so great: Some enemys become ridiculously easy to kill as the game moves along
