Product Description

BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets you do things never before possible in the genre: turn everything into a weapon, biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques in an incredible and unique underwater city.

You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified ?splicers" and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters.

No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way. BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won't be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies.

Here's just a few things you can do a foe: Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities Turn his own Security System Against Him Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him Torment Him with Plagues of Insects Take Research Photos of Him to Learn his Weaknesses Send Him Flying into the Ceiling to Knock him Senseless

Customer Reviews

Very Good
This a very good job in games, all the enviroment and the characters are very worked, to create a great history where you are a fundamental piece. Some users can not appreciate this and think this game is no good or can say that it have a slow history development.

Bioshock
Game of the Year? Yeah I'll buy that.

Gameplay: 9/10 Took a shooter and put some great, original twists into it
Storyline: 11/10 One of the best stories in a video game I've seen
Graphics: 10/10 \
Sound: 9/10 ----Both made it pretty suspenseful
Replayability: 4/10 Not much to change in replaying other than difficulty and a couple choices

Overall, a very good game. It's original and a bit creepy and you just won't want to put it down.

Speechless...
I finished this game a while back, but i only recently decided to share what an amazing game this game is. Graphics, gameplay, originality, story line, all impecable. This game is the most satisfying FPS i have evr played. When you complete this game, you seriously feel like you've acomplished something.

Like a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. You relly feel like you've solved the mystery that is Rapture (setting). im not getting into any detail, because i dont want to spoil anything for you. BUY THIS GAME! for $25, it is well worth the price.

Oh, but dont buy this game if your are a mindless frat boy looking to shoot stuff, (yes im talking to you Halo 3 and Call of Duty Jocks)if youre looking for deep, well rooted storylines, intense, immersive, environments, and a somewhat intellectual (as intellecual as video games can be) experience. One of my all time favorites, Cant wait for Bioshock 2!!! 3rd quarter 2009! (hopefully)
