Editorial Review:
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

Have you ever been proven wrong and loved every bite of your humble... more info
excellent game!:
i just wanted to help out with the 5 stars it should have. the graphics are amazing, story is excellent and keeps your attention and makes you want to keep playing. if your a 3rd person shooter fan i dont see how you would not like this. with the changing abilitys your guy has with the range of weapons and range of things to shoot(from people to bots to big daddys). if your hatin on this game go get a wii. you'll be happy with that
Incredible:
Just might be the best game I have ever played. It is smart, innovative, scary and just plain fun. You have to experience it for yourself...you basically owe it to yourself if you own a next gen consul.
A Beginners Experience With BioShock:
After not playing video games for many years(The first Ninetendo system was the last time I owned and played a system and games), I went out and bought a Xbox 360 system to keep me at home to save money on entertainment. One of the games I bought to play was "BioShock"BioShock (I thought the picture on the box looked cool). I also bought the game guide to walk me through it since basically, I'm a beginner. From the moment I first inserted the disc, I was hooked! The graphics are out of this world, and the... more info
