BioShock

Domain Name Com's - : BioShock

- A $20 malware
Bought the game, installed it, tried to play it, and it doesn't run. I searched for possible reasons on why the game wouldn't run; it turns out that the retail version of this game intentionally installs SecuROM on your computer, a piece of DRM (Digital Rights Management) software that impairs the use of your CD tray. As a result of this, my CD tray now doesn't recognize the Bioshock DVD when I try to run the game, and the game doesn't run at all.

Basically, I bought a twenty dollar virus.

Rating:

- Say no to DRM
Buyer beware - the product description does not describe some important aspects of the game:
This game requires an internet activation, so if you have no internet connection you can't play.
This game installs SecuROM on your PC - a form of Digital Rights Management (DRM) which is controversial - its like a rootkit and can cause problems with your PC. Also uninstalling the game does not remove SecuROM - it remains on your PC permanently.

- Awesome action, sound and graphics, but at a cost!
This is an incredible game with stunning graphics, sound, and playability. Multiple difficulty levels, ability to save anywhere in the game, a cool story, sets and characters.

However, even though my system met or exceeded all the requirements, I could not play the game when I installed it.

I had onboard sound and a GeForce 7600 GS, but neither of these could handle the game. I upgraded to a SoundBlaster Xtreme Gamer and a GeForce 7950 GT, and now the game screams; but it cost me $300 to get there. :( Still, it has a memory leak somewhere and locks up randomly. A good idea is to stop every so often and reboot.

It takes FOREVER to load (seriously, like 3 or 4 MINUTES), but once loaded, you can play for a long time before you need to load again.

I know there are people out there who are afraid of SecuROM, but it hasn't given me any trouble that I know of.

So if you think your PC can handle it, you will most likely enjoy it.

- Still not buying
I was seriously considering buying Bioshock until I read about the people who recently purchased the game and had problems with their computers. It seems that the company has decided to keep the DRM in the game. Why? The game is not current and I'm sure the sales are not too great. Not a wise decision. Sorry, but I am not going to spend my money on a game that may possibly screw up my new computer. If the powers that be finally got rid of DRM they would get hundreds of people willing to buy their game. Until then my money will remain in my pocket.

- Unable to install due to virus
This game contains a virus called "secuROM" that permanently installs itself into your OS and can disable your drives (as it did mine) and should be avoided at all costs. It's a shame. I played Bioshock on a friends 360 and was blown away. The cool retro 50's look of the underwater city and the music set over the dark and creepy atmosphere made for a great gaming environment. It has an original and thoughtful story and the endless attack combos and multiple endings gives this game a very high replay value as well. I was very exited to get this for PC as mouse/keyboard is the best set up for a FPS by far. I was crushed when I found it had installed a virus that crippled my virtual drives. Removing secuROM from my system was a lengthy nightmare that involved risky registry editing that can damage your system permanently if not done exactly right.
Bioshock is a great game that contains a virus. Buy the 360 version if you want to play it.
5 stars for a fun game
1 star for infecting my computer with malware.
