The Bottom Line:
"Hard to describe"
Bioshock is a FPS set in the underwater city of rapture. Your plain crash lands there and you have know choice but to take refuge inside the city. You soon get on a com to someone in the city and the story starts there.

I found the story in this game epic. There are many twists and your always on the move doing something different. The combat in this game is good too. You can have many different weapons with different ammo types, you can genetically modify yourself with plasmids, the ability too shoot fire, electricity, ice etc. from your hands. You can also customize phyical tonics and engineering tonics and more.

But the best thing about this game is rapture. The city is beautiful, scary, strange. It is unlike anything i've seen in a game before, so unique. It perfectly resembles a world gone wrong, and it is just a mystery waiting to be solved. Bioshock is a linear game but you can explore to your hearts content, and when you do, you might discover some of rapture's secrets..

As good as this game is, it's far from perfect. The gameplay can become repetitive as the game get's further along. The combat could be better as you can only use one hand at once which isn't very logical. The game does lose some of it's initial mystery once your used to the rapture, and exploration could of been more of a factor, as i was itching to explore rapture fully, but there wasn't that much to explore.

Overall a great game in a unique world. Packs a 10+hour story with one of the best atmosphere's in gaming. But when it comes down to it... It's just a unique FPS.

Bioshock: 8.5/10
