 An Excellen Shooter October 8, 2008
Bioshock is by far one of the best FPS i've played. Graphics are supurb and the storyline is compelling. Gameplay is fun and excels with the use of weapons and plasmids. Each plasmid has its advantages using them in conjunction with your weapons is paramount if you wish to survive.
The story starts with your character, Jack, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean after surviving an airline crash. Jack finds himself in the middle of Rapture, a huge underwater city built by megalomaniac, Andrew Ryan. Jack finds Rapture in a state of disrepair, finding out later that a civil war had erupted leaving the once great city in chaos. The surviving inhabitants have become mutated and mentally insane to to overuse of plasmids and gene tonics. They attack on-site and will be the primary enemy for Jack. Even cooler badguys include the hulking "Big Daddies" which are men in divers' suits protecting a little girl known as "Little Sisters". Jack finds that in order to survive in rapture, he will need to capture these girls and harvest their "ADAM", the genetic lifeblood of Rapture which allows Jack to purchase more Plasmids and Gene Tonics.
The game has 1100 Achievement points. You will need to connect to X-Box live to download the extra 100 point achievement known as "Brass Balls". I was able to obtain all 1100 Achievements in the first playthrough, so Ahievement hunters will be happy with that.
Great story, great graphics, great game September 29, 2008

For the current price on amazon.com, this game is worth every penny. The story (and delivery of that story) is the best in video games. It's a very chilling, incredibly original game and I've played it through 4 times (each time choosing to play a different way). As I pieced together the story, I really wanted to keep playing to find out more. Add in the best graphics on the 360, and it only makes the immersion into the game that much better. The game is a little violent, but that's to be expected. Outside of Oblivion GOTY edition and The Orange Box, there isn't a better value for your money on the 360.

Bioshock is the kind of game that hooks you the minute it starts. What makes Bioshock such a brilliant game is that it's a complete package. Visually amazing falls short of the graphics in this game and unlike in many games out there the story honestly keeps you on the edge of your seat. And just when you think you have this gane figured, you get a sucker punch to the gut and realize you still don't know the big picture.
End short, buy this game. This is one case where the hype is warranted.

This game brings great play action, and combines it with a fantastic art-deco themed environment. A combo that is visually great.....but spectacular in hi-def! Worth the retail price.
 Doesn't Measure up to the Hype..disappointed September 15, 2008

My husband and I are gamers and love great games..played many..and this one, oddly, since there is so much about it that would make you think it is great..and it is not. We tried to figure this out, but the one thing we came up with is regardless of the reviews, it was awful. Repetitive, if you like that, buy this game. It was a surprising disappointment..considering all the reviews...didnt make sense. Oblivion, ran true to reviews, even older ones like Morrowind...and many others. Bioshock, no way. Despite trying to even go along with some of the reviews about it being fantastic, we just can't. It just didn't win us over at all.
