BioShock is a unique game that mixes a spine-chilling setting illustrated with art deco art and architecture, sci-fi themes of bio-genetic mutation and self-modification, a deep storyline with open-choice freedom to interact with the world as you choose, and first-person action that requires you to think every time you pull the trigger. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn

Amazing Graphics and sound, compelling story
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Original story, great graphics, atmospheric.
Cons: Game is short. A bit predictable storyline.
The Bottom Line:
A very compelling game, worth every penny.
I have been addicted to this game since my wife convinced me to buy it. The idea was that we would play through it together as we did with Gabriel Knight, Fatal Frame, and the classic horror game Phantasmagoria. Of course, I did not end up waiting on her.
It's a creepy game, full of atmosphere. I found the "twist" to be predictable, so the writing is not the best I suppose. It is original and unique in some ways. You get to upgrade yourself as a weapon with "Plasmids" and unleash the fury of hell (both Inuit Hell and Christian Hell) on your foes. Of course, let's not forget "Little Sister" and her companion "Mr. Bubbles". These are the big tough baddies and you have to take them down to survive.
The voice acting was very well done, but not overpowering. The sound effects throughout fit very nicely with ambient noise all around. The sound did a great job of scaring you at the right time and heightening the tension.
If you have a decent enough computer, a DirectX 9 card AGP 8X or better with 256MB and 2gigs of RAM should do the trick. A >2.4 GHz CPU too probably would be a minimum. If you like fun games, run out and buy this game. Decent games need to be supported and this is one of the best FPS' since Half Life 2 came out.
