A pretty good sci-fi shooter which I don't usually like science fiction but this is a good game you should own. Just try
Now to the graphics state of the game. It has pretty amazing graphics. This game makes you feel like you are part of Rapture. Rapture is alive but it is not also. What I mean is the city is alive with deadly enemies but the city is dying because it is falling apart by posters peeling off the wall and just crumble of stone everywhere and the inhabitants in it. These little details make the game more realistic, even though you may not notice, it just makes it believable that this city is what it is. You will walk through tunnels and they will just burst and start to fill with water. It is amazing. There is blood-dry and wet-every where. Posters of drinks in bars and surgical procedures make this an even more realistic, even with the area full of trees to provide air for the inhabitants. The frame rate is not an issue. It's great so I'm not even going to talk about it, even when many enemies are on screen.
The story mode is a little harder to follow than most games because they are told through audio recordings that you pick up along the way but when you are trying to listen to them an enemy comes and attacks and takes your mind from listening. But from listening to these you will learn how hectic and bazarre Rapture is. If you get to hear them all you will find a very interesting story though. So altogether the sound is amazing.
You will meet many characters in this game with all of them having modifications done to their DNA which posesses them with power, a lot of power. Have you ever heard power can drive you crazy. Will that is what happens to many people in this city. Some of them want perfection on themselves and everyone in the city so they perform surgery on people without them knowing that they are doing that type of plastic surgery.
You will also meet little sisters who basically have control of all the Adam which buys you the upgrades called plasmids like freezing and inferno and lightning bolts which will be injected into by yourself into your arm. But to get the Adam is the hard part due to the Little Sisters being protected by the All-Powerful Big Daddies. They are huge, ginormous beings with a lot of armor and some with big guns and others with the giant drills on their arms. Once you kill the Big Daddies, you will be able-free from harm-to kill the Little Sisters for their Adam. But their is a catch. You have the choice to harvest them or free them. If you harvest them, you will be able to get more Adam, but if you free them from the trechorous lives they have to being able to be a normal person; you will get less Adam but, someone promises you it will be worth it. That is your choice to make in the game, not mine.
You will also have a choice of weapon selection if you wish. They include pistols, shotguns, machine guns, rocket launchers, and a wrench. You can get upgrades on these weapons throughout the game to make all of the weapons better. For instance, the guns can have larger ammo capacity and be more lethal. But the plasmids are what make the game funner. The shooting on the other hand is a little downside to some games. It isn't as intense as the plasmids. That is the only downfall.
So with this game like this, it is a good game and shouldn't be missed. Which ever console you get it on it's going to be a great game. But with the extra content-which isn't that great and the new downloadable contect-the Playstation 3 verson will probably be your best bet. So it being one of the Finest of the first Person shooters, you shouldn't miss it.
