Product Description
BioShock lets you do the impossible as you explore a mysterious underwater city. When your plane crashes, you discover 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. As little girls loot the dead, and biologically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. Now you're trapped, caught in the middle of a genetic war that will challenge both your capacity to survive and your moral allegiance to your own humanity. Make meaningful and mature decisions that culminate in the grand question - do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture to save yourself - or risk all to become their savior?

 twisted. creepy. great prospects ruined. August 11, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
the game looked great. it had all the makings of a 5 star game. that said, it's too twisted, too gruesome, too sadistic. they could've gone in much better directions keeping the same gameplay/campaign style game in tact. if you don't like scary things, (like i don't), pass on the game. it's not worth it. halfway through, i'm done. too creepy.
 Bioshock smells like it had more than one in the stink August 9, 2008

Bioshock is a great game....for about 40 minutes. After that its story gets convoluted and tries to be smarter than it is. And like most things that fall into that hole, it throws in a M Night Shamalayn patented "twist" into the mix, which fails miserably.
This game had promise, it has an interesting mechanic and decent graphics, but the story leaves a lot to be desired and the combat is repetitive and boring.
Its a shame as what I read the original story was going to be, involving cult deprogramers and the like, was scrapped for this horrible stuff.
Download the demo, it will leave a better taste in your mouth and you won't get to the crap nougat center of this game. And you can avoid all that license protection stuff too. Fun times.
 Don't buy this game. August 4, 2008

This is quite possibly the most boring game I've ever played. Not to mention it screws with your system and you can only install it three (3) times-- *ever*.

Don't buy this game. Will NOT run without an internet connection. It is one of the many new PC games that installs a very intrusive copy protection scheme on your computer. It is very hard to delete this software from your computer cleanly. The game requires an internet connection even though it is mainly a single player game, so it can check to make sure you are using the software properly.(to the manufacturer liking). Basically you are paying to RENT it.
 Fun and not frustrating, but also violent and a bit too easy July 23, 2008

I enjoyed this game very much. The graphics were unique and the plot was ludicrous but engaging. You could use a wide range of weapons and "superpowers," which made killing things a bit more novel.
This game is pretty violent, which may or may not be a downside to you, depending on your personality. I didn't really mind it. However, every time I used nitrogen to freeze a mentally-ill person, then smacked them with a wrench as they whimpered helplessly, thus shattering them into bloody frozen chunks, I thought "This is probably desensitizing me in a way that is not healthy."
The only real downside (again, to some it may be an upside) was that this game was not really challenging. I am a fairly unskilled gamer: I mostly just run and shoot until the ammo runs out, at which time I switch to the next weapon. Even so, I only died twice during this entire game. Just a note, when you die you reappear at a nearby location and all of the hits you made on enemies are saved; so there is almost no penalty for dying. This makes the game a little too easy, but it sure cut down on frustration and swearing on my part.
Anyway, I would recommend this game highly, because it is fun and not too expensive. However, you can expect to finish it in a week or less.
