Domain Name Com's - : BioShock

- beautifully designed and great gameplay
The underwater art deco world that the game takes place in is absolutely gorgeous. I find my self sometimes just standing there and looking at the fishes or dead bodies floating by the glass. The game play is immersive and compelling and there's a short learning curve. I just love the use of the X-box 360 controller in this game as well.

- The Thinking Man's Shooter
Do not miss out on one of 2007's best games. There is no multiplayer, co-op mode, and it takes a beefy PC to run this game well. Those are the cons to BioShock. The pros are a great storyline, with characters and environments that ooze depth, a customizable arsenal, and the ability to splice your genes to wield electricity, fire, ice and much more against your enemies. The real sandbox aspect comes in the form of choices.
Choices set BioShock apart from many other run-of-the-mill Shooters. Players will frequently be confronted with so many choices it's fortunate the game has a pause button. In any given foe battle, a player can choose whether to set a trap with trip-wires and mines, perhaps turn an automated turret on an enemy, or harness your character's spliced genes to set your enemy ablaze with a snap of the fingers, only to electrocute that foe after he or she dives into a pool of water. And that is only the beginning of the rabbit hole of choices.
I am running BioShock on a 2006 factory Dell machine with minor RAM and video card upgrades. My single 2.2Ghz AMD processor, 1.5 GB RAM, and my GeForce 7600GT (256MB) graphics card run BioShock, on the highest settings, quite adequately with minor dips in frame rate. With my PC falling well under the $1,000 mark, don't let skeptical gamers tell you that BioShock demands a monster PC.
If you're a shooter fan who loves eerie environments, non-stop, non-linear, shooting action (with VERY limited need for backtracking), and creepy, retro Art-Deco interior design-- BioShock is for you. The replay value is better than most shooters and FINALLY voice acting is superb. If it wasn't for Call of Duty 4, I would easily give BioShock my game of the year nomination.
At BioShock's current lowered retail price you'd be "Atlas Shrugging" off a can't miss game.

- Buggy Game, Horrendous customer service
BEWARE! Although there are several good reviews about this product, I played this and got stuck in a buggy loop. I contacted the customer service and they assigned a case and completely ignored me. After 10's of e-mails, they just went silent. I even told them that I'll send them my save of the game so that they can play it /fix and it , but no hope.
There are several bugs with the games 2K manufacturers and if you're unfortunate enough to get stuck in one of them mid way through hours and hours of play you're doomed. They don't even have new and proper patches for these bugs. How can they, if they don't listen to customer issues.
It's too unfortunate that they're getting all these good reviews. The game is reasonably fun to play. But not as much as fun, when you get stuck after playings for 10's and 10's of hours and have to forfeit.

I'm never buying games from 2K games again.

- Bioshock - Fun, Unique, Interesting
First I want to respond to the paranoia surrounding the game installing a rootkit. It's not true. They create a registry key for copyright protection (which is still annoying) but do nothing besides that. If you don't believe me just check out the Symantec Security (Norton) Weblog, they have a message about this very issue.

That said, the game itself is fun and unique in the sense that you're granted several abilities to use but you could just call it 'magic' and it wouldn't be all that different than other Action Shooters. What really sets this game apart though is the whole feel of the environment. From the very beginning of the story you instantly get the feeling you've been thrown back into the 50s. Every ounce of the environment helps reinforce this as well.

The general story of the game, without spoiling much, is that you've crash landed in the middle of the ocean and found this underwater Atlantis like city created by a rich, anti-government, and very intelligent entrepreneur of the early 1900s. However, obviously based on the nature of the shooter genre, something went terribly wrong.

The minute you arrive your ability to leave is destroyed so you must venture into the city. Throughout this very linear environment you read clues as to what has happened and have to make choices of how you want to behave (which affect the ending sequence but don't do much else in the long term). You also find out about plasmids which are injectable fluids you can use to gain the powers such as freezing things (why a city of people underwater would ever need the ability to freeze things is beyond me but it's nice for killing things).

What's really interesting about the game is how it can be pretty scary at times. I remember one scene, I'm knee deep in water, walking through a shadowing corner, I see a shadow above in the light source of someone, boom! The lights cut and I'm stuck in the dark with something I can't see and I can't move very well. You will also find that you'll run out of ammo very often (which adds to the experience) so that can also lead you to being on the edge of your seat as well.

The game is also visually beautiful assuming it doesn't crash on you like one of the other reviewers had. I'm not sure why that was happening, likely its the games interaction with his video card or the fact he only has 2 GB of RAM and is running Vista (which eats a lot of RAM).

Generally, I'd say it's worth the money to buy and it's pretty fun and fast paced but the general fighting is somewhat repetitive so while it's fun to get new abilities it gets boring at times. If action shooters are your thing though this is a solid game to add to your collection. It's no Half Life but definitely is an experience you'll remember.

- One of the Best shooters I've ever played!
Like Half-Life (1 though Episode 2), BioShock has the style and gut "WRENCHING" action only the very best shooters have. Unlike Half-life, This game make quite a bit of sence at the very end. It does not keep too many secrets.

This is not to say Half-Life is a bad game for leaving more questions then answers. On the contrary, it a running series, and it secrets need to be kept to make the game worth playing. I get that.

Still, By the end of BioShock, I really loved my stay in Rapture and decided to make another go at it. this time being nicer to the little girls.

Fluid game concepts, this is what really drew me in, It wasn't just run and gun, I found my self using the Plasmids alot more then the firearms total. Finding combo's and getting Quick Big Daddy kills was entertaining as well.

One last thing, ab out the Big Daddies? if you never played this game before, Watc out, they look slow and bulky, and thats where they get you, they are quick as sin and if you piss one off? you'll be in real trouble if you don't have a plan of attach before you go pissing them off...
