I'd say Lost Oddysey has a better chance than many. But if your just looking for a great story, might not put a tear in your eye, then go check out Mass Effect.
Mass Effet's story is great and I would recommend it, but I dont know any storylines that will make you cry...maybe if it's really so bad it makes you cry
Bah I noticed that as soon as I said it, I just didnt find Bioshock's story to be all that "OMG" the atmosphere was sweet, but the story was very "theres a bad guy, now go tear S*it up and go kill him"

Maybe so,in your opinion.But I don't think a beautiful world built in the middle of the Atlantic,thriving with corruption and addictive,gene-altering drugs has been done before.Not to mention the narrative was fantastic.It's not in the least bit cliche to me.
I can see your point of Mass Effect clearer,though.It can be pretty shallow at some times,but it's still a great game.
Im a huge critic of game stories and narrative, in my humble opinion Bioshock and Mass Effect's stories should not be praised so highly, they are very average...
Oh no no, I really liked the whole Bioshock world, and the gene-addicted people and what not, but the over arching storyline of the game was very average.

"This is the bad guy, go kill him" OH NO

Every hear of plot twists and great characters and settings? Yeah those kinda contribute a lot to a story. Otherwise you could describe Angels and Demons as a "this is the bad guy, go kill him" story, which it isn't at all.

The atmosphere/backstory was great

Oh,you mean the arching.Well,I can kinda see your point there...but there was a great plot twist,so I don't see how it's all that average.Still,if that's the only problem you have with it,(you love the backstory/world etc.)then it's really not fair to say that the whole story is cliche.
Mass Effect would probably more suit the "There's a bad,guy go kill him" scenario...but that's still putting it harshly.
Bioshock is pretty good for a shooter, I thought it was good but others thought the narrative for the game was amazing, so you might want to check that out too.
the only game that give tears is probably heavenly sword, but its not on the 360, the closest is boishock and mass effectstevoqwerty
wow somebody else who actually played and remembers that game's amazing story. I'm impressed. Yeah TC, if you want a truly tear-jerking story I really don't think you can do better than Heavenly Sword or MGSIV.
Mass Effect definitely has a story fit for a AAA action movie. Interesting characters, touching upon a bigger world and bigger scheme of the universe thats thrives upon the goodvsevil struggle, and very action oriented story telling. Thinking just about the story, you'll get to save the universe within the span of 4 days. Its definitely action packed and intense.
Bioshock keeps you guessing until the very end, it really pushes the boundaries of perceptions of good and evil, if you actually play the bad guy, you'll touch upon the darkest corners of its story telling. One big twist thats very very appropriate.
i didnt like the bioshock story. it was...i dont know some of the things i saw coming. Mass effect was great and Lost odyssey is awesome too with a very mysterious storyline.
tbh w/ you, i haven't played a game w/ a well told story on the 360... (certainly nothing like MGS4). But I think you should give mass effect a try. It's got a good story, nothing spectacular, but will keep you entertained.
