 Terrific shooter game that delivers November 3, 2008
Bioshock is one of the only shooter games that plays great, makes sense, and has a terrific twist at the end. The story of the game is thoughtful and interesting. Bioshock plays better than most because one can interact or control the environment around them. The one negative some might not like is the background music is old school on some levels and it is not multiplayer. Other than that, it is a great game to play for gamers looking for that knock out first person shooter game..
 This Game Stutters, Ruins the Player Experience October 28, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
My husband ADORES this game, and it's fun to watch; however, there is a known issue that 2k has published on their website with a stutter in later gameplay. We tried clearing the cache, removing and re-adding the xbox live upgrade, and starting over... no change to the late-game stuttering. It's been very upsetting for him, and upsetting for me as this was a gift. I'm hoping there is a patch soon for this issue (there is one for the PC version), but he may throw it into a brick wall long before then. Totally disappointing.

The music, the city, the weapons, the story, everything in this game is great. I'm not going to go into specifics because it's good to just start playing the game without knowing anything about it, but you can download the demo on the xbox and see for yourself.
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.
