This has to be, in my long a varied experience with games, the best I have ever played. Bioshock is one of those games that will have you saying `wow’ at the end. It’s like a great book that you just have to finish quickly to know how it concludes. When it does you’re rewarded with a truly great ending (which, don’t worry, I have no intention of giving away).
The story of Bioshock is very unique to gaming. This is far removed from your typical Call of Duty get-in-get-out war game, or your Gears of War sci-fi shooter. It’s an original story (with some basing in existing works) that stars a cast of garish humans trying to build a utopia to explore the reaches of human’s creativity in an underwater city called Rapture. You are just an ordinary man who finds the gateway to Rapture after surviving a plane crash. What follows is your discovery of Rapture and of your character.
The gameplay is superb. Although not as pin-point accurate as Call of Duty it’s use of plasmids and weapons creates a duel two-punch style combat system that’s very rewarding. Graphically Bioshock is stunning, the underwater 1950’s city (including Art Deco architecture and period music) is one of the main factors that absorb you into this game.
The story is immensely good and well deserving of all the praise it gets. Throughout the game you are forced to make choices (which affect the ending and how you progress) which further draws you in.
Thoroughly recommended. This is my desert Island game.

|One great game not to be missed in your game library!,
Before playing this game, I had no idea of the story I would get to encounter. In it, you play a survivor of a plane crash who also happens to find by some strange stroke of luck an underground city called Rapture lying deep down the Atlantic Ocean. The first minutes of the game are just simply amazing and frightening as you try to make sense of what is going on. One of the most frightening moment is when you enter and encounter face to face the founder of the city as he talks to you for the first time. Personally this was one of the many goosebumps I got. But the most frightening is in the surgery room when you find some tonic, you look behind you and then…
From the start, the atmosphere immerses you into the game, from the creepy fifties’ music to the spooky and morbid lighting around this strange ghost town and the very impressive voice acting to the animation of the character’s which are excellent. Loved the powers that you get during the game, especially the telekinesis and the one with the bees. Though you never are to sure of what your character really looks like, if you are very careful, just before you get to meet Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture, you find photos of you and also learn a shocking revelation.
Happy to see that the public responded well to this game, which was not the case for certain masterpieces like Beyond Good and Evil which got great reviews, but not enough attention from the public for it was released between prince of Persia, The sands of Time and another Tom Clancy’s game whose name I forget. I am happy to see that the sequel Bioshock 2 is out and I hope it will be awesome.
