BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.

  • Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.
  • Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.
  • Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.
  • Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.
  • Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.
  • Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture... or save them?

 Amazing port

| | See all Sionweeks's reviews (1)

After having played both the PC and XBOX 360 versions of this game last September, I was unable to find many flaws at all with the game. The storytelling is utterly fantastic, the narrative is imaginative, the art style of Rapture is original and borrows heavily from American/New York/Chicago culture from the 1950's. Considering that the visuals are a year old, I won't criticize them much. They could have tried to make it look as pretty as a PC running at maximum with DX10 settings, but it just looks a lot (if not exactly the same) as the XBOX 360 version of the game.
Everything about this game is fantastic. The controls seem a little clunky to me, but that's only because I don't really enjoy playing games using the Unreal Engine. Using Plasmids to solve combat puzzles is great, and each Plasmid is unique enough to not create repetitive combat puzzle solving.

I'm solely judging this review on my experience with the PSN Demo, and the PC and XBOX 360 versions of the game.

This is an absolute must buy for anyone that's a year late, especially when it's retail price is £29.99. With an extra difficulty where the enemies have extremely high health, and another mode of some sort (which if I remember, involves waves of enemies?) I could be wrong.
Get this game on release day, play it all night, and enjoy the hell out of it. The storytelling is definitely the sole reason to buy this game IMO. It is brilliant!

Amazing game as you'll reading in all reviews, according to all game ranking websites, it's the 13th best reviewed gme of all time.
But if you search this game again the exact same version is going for £17.99

Amazing grahics
Enthralling storyline constantly challenging your morales and forcing you ro make decisions you may live to regret
Dark story with so much to do in it

Hope that was helful and saved you some cash
Great purchase

 demo version

| | See all R1uprising's reviews (33)

If you are part of the playstation network, download the demo from the playstation store, for free. I have pre-ordered my copy from Play after playing it. I know Bioshock was big on the PC, but didn't really know much about it. It is visually stunning, darkly atmospheric, inventive and very interesting. It is a good twist on the first person genre, and i'm looking forward to playing the full game (..middle of the night, lights out!!)

 played the demo - what a game

| | See all Stickto's reviews (3)

Although Bioshock may have been around for a while on other consoles, I do think this is a cracking game. It's all about the ambiance, turn the lights out, crank up the volume and away you go. I shall definitely be purchasing the full game and I'm looking forward to playing through it now the nights are drawing in.

 very inventive

Have played the demo for this after downloading it from the playstation store and was very impressed.
Now without trying to confuse people and sound contradictory, the game contains a lot of elements from other games, but carried off as tho they are original ideas.
The ability to carry weapons in one hand while injecting a 'plasma?' into the other arm to produce lightning bolts or fire etc is quite clever in the way that you use one button each to flick thru your various wepons and one button each to fire.
The rest of the button controls are basic also but effective to the playing of the game.
The visuals are very attractive and shows that the ps3 is developing nicely towards its potential.
The gameplay seems to be a cross between solving puzzles (like when reprogramming various machines for your own benefit) and action (shooting, self defence etc).
The game also seems quite grusome, so the 18 rating is understandable, if maybe three years over the top. Having not seen the finished game tho, 18 may be appropriate.
If you have a ps3 and are registered on the store then it is worth downloading and trying because this is a lovely gem of a game and should sell vqey well on release.
I don't know if it will have online capability, but the possibilities could be endless with people meeting each other in various locations in the game as they play it.
This would add to the endless variaty that the developers have already promised. No two plays are the same they reckon so playability and longevity should make it value for money.

From what i've seen, this game promises to be awesome
