Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best FPS since DOOM
I'm the type of guy who isn't really into shooting endless amounts of zombies for hours and hours.
The standard "survival horror" games never really did it for me.
And I despise, absolutely despise, games where you spend 99.9% of the time in a dark room listening to dripping water looking for a key that will open some door to some room where you have to repeat the process all over again.

Keeping that in mind, when one of my best friends starting raving about BioShock and then sent me the trailer for the game, I immediately thought "yep $10 says it's one of 'those' games".

I can not even begin to say how glad I am that I was wrong.
I can not think of a single FPS with as detailed an environment and engaging story.
The plot twists and turns are as exciting and unexpected as anything on LOST, and the way your choices impact the story is truly impressive.
If you don't own this game already, invest now! You won't regret it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun and Fun and More Fun
I really enjoyed this game. I rented it and kept it till I was able to buy it. I don't usually get shooter games but I was really glad I got this one. This game was one reason I wanted a 360. The graphics are great and the levels are fun to go through. It is fun to just walk around and look at everything. It can get a bit repetitive if you search through every single little thing you can but it is worth it. I wish the wallet could hold more money though. I find it a good way to get out your anger at someone. Just imagine one of the splicers as someone who made you angry that day. And them you can just shoot them or shock them or burn them or freeze them. What fun.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A perfect reincarnation of the so-called SteamPunk world
The twist in the story is deep, the creation of such a huge underwater city is not only focusing on the graphics, or just the appearance of this whole lost city; but it borrows the idea from Ayn Rand, George Orwell and Huxley, depicting a highly-developed utopia-like society structure's self-demise, vividly, the environment setting is full of Steam Punk style(one of the styles in Sci-Fi).

An extraordinary feature of this game is the presentation of every major characters, from an insane doctor to the mother of the shelter, BioShock uses first-person viewpoint cut-scene, in-game environment presentation, and radio to shape one character, what is she/he like? why she/he wants to go to Rapture(that underwater city)?

Also, Bioshock had hailed to Fallout's stylish concept art a lot, all little vids introducing the new Plasmids, or the icons of every vending machine, the advertisement of the Rapture city, are similar to the Vaults(the company in Fallout).

If you are a pure First Person Shooter fan, this is maybe not your game, go try COD4, Halo3, and Orange Box. But if you like Sci-Fi, read the book 1984, like to play a game with excellent plot, this is definitely your game, and you dont wanna miss it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Greatest game to date
Bioshock was okay the first time I played it, but I put it down because I just couldn't get into it. When it got GAME OF THE YEAR, I picked it up again...and was completely satisfied. It may take an hour or so to get into, but this game is breathtaking. Levels are amazing and the weapons are great. A fun, well-thought game that deserves to rank among the best of all time.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Horrendous customer service
BEWARE! Although there are several good reviews about this product, I played this and got stuck in a buggy loop. I contacted the customer service and they assigned a case and completely ignored me. After 10's of e-mails, they just went silent. I even told them that I'll send them my save of the game so that they can play it /fix and it , but no hope.
There are several bugs with the games 2K manufacturers and if you're unfortunate enough to get stuck in one of them mid way through hours and hours of play you're doomed. They don't even have new and proper patches for these bugs. How can they, if they don't listen to customer issues.
It's too unfortunate that they're getting all these good reviews. The game is reasonably fun to play. But not as much as fun, when you get stuck after playings for 10's and 10's of hours and have to forfeit.

I'm never buying games from 2K games again.
