| | | | | | BioShock
Imagine flying high above the arctic seas, anxiously awaiting your flight's final descent to dry land. Suddenly, 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. There, 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. Wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as evil little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens attempt to ambush you at every turn. Will you be one of the lucky ones to escape this underwater agony alive?
Going beyond run-and-gun corridors, monster-clad artificial intelligence and static worlds, Bioshock presents a unique and unpredictable first-person shooter experience in real time. In order to survive an onslaught of assailants, it's imperative that you 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 you enjoy the FSP genre, aren't afraid of the dark and own an XBOX 360, you owe it to yourself to play through Bioshock at least twice. With creepy atmosphere, some of the most engaging audio you'll find this side of the movies, a very deep and twisted story, and numerous ways to solve any problem and dispatch any enemy, Bioshock is a game that needs to be played by everyone. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 3.5 | | Sound | | 4.5 | | Replay value | | 2.5 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.0 | | Single Player | | 4.5 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 4.0 | |

| This was my first game for the 360. Going from the PS2 to the 360, ovcoarse I was thinking "WHOA! This is leaps and bounds better". Since then though, I have seen a handfull of other games that were clearly better. Don't get me wrong. It's a great game. I have since, traded it at Game Stop. The game is just good enough to make me wish I hadn't from time to time. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 4.5 | | Replay value | | 4.0 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.0 | | Single Player | | 5.0 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 5.0 | |

| BIOSHOCK was an incredible game overall. The atosphere was spooky and the story was very original. Amazing graphics and sound with some great RPG elements also. I really have nothing bad to say about this game except that there is really no replay value due to it being single player only and the story driven nature of the game.
For shooter fans, this is the best rental of 2007. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 5.0 | | Sound | | 5.0 | | Replay value | | 0.5 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 3.0 | | Single Player | | 3.5 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 3.5 | |

| Awesome graphics and sound but the story seemed to be a low budget Sci-fi Channel movie which got worse as you go. I know many love it but for me it was a solid rental, one play through and I was done. Best part were some of the recordings. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 4.5 | | Replay value | | 1.0 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.0 | | Single Player | | 4.0 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 4.5 | |

| great single game. Nothing it does is anything new that one hasn't seen else where. What it does is use them all very well. Very story driven and great story delivery. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 4.5 | | Replay value | | 1.0 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.5 | | Single Player | | 4.5 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 4.0 | |

| Awesome game This game delivers! It raises the bar for the SP FPS genre. Great story, good graphics. The controls are solid, and the sounds set the tone for the game. I just wish it had a multi player or at least co-op. Also after you beat it you're most likely to leave it on the shelf after that. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 5.0 | | Sound | | 4.0 | | Replay value | | 5.0 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 4.5 | | Single Player | | 5.0 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 5.0 | |

| One of the best experiences I have had playing my 360. A refreshing break from WWII and Halo-esque experiences, Bioshock doesn't break the mold, but damn, who cares. This is a fine game, take your time with it, finish it twice, once as a bastard, once as a savior.

| Great Game This game has a real Cinematic quality to it, to the point my fiance wouldn't let me play it without her there. However, after completing it once I have never felt compelled to go back and see what the alternative endings are, or looking for the secret bits and Bobs.
Great game overall, Mulitplayer would have been a great Addition with some of the plasmids avaliable. | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 5.0 | | Replay value | | 3.5 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 5.0 | | Single Player | | 5.0 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 4.5 | |

| I didnt even get past the first level, but it was Fun. I just didnt have enough time to play through the game.
To tell you the truth i didnt want to even give it a chance because it didnt have any Multiplayer, i was ready to treat it like Shadowrun got treated.
I plan on renting this and beating it very soon....probably in may of 2009 after all the good games stop coming out.  | | | | | | Member reviews | | Graphics | | 4.5 | | Sound | | 4.5 | | Replay value | | 3.0 | | Gameplay & Controls | | 5.0 | | Single Player | | 5.0 | | Multiplayer | N/A | | Overall | | 4.5 | |
