Pros Great Premise, graphics, and powers.
Cons Terrible ending, no multiplay
Recommended it? Yes

In Bioshock, the latest 3D action game from 2K games, something is rotten in the city of Rapture. Shortly after surviving a plane crash, the player finds himself descending via a bathysphere from a lighthouse to the submerged city of Rapture.

No sooner does the player arrive at Rapture,... Read full review »

Pros Original story, great graphics, atmospheric.
Cons Game is short. A bit predictable storyline.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been addicted to this game since my wife convinced me to buy it. The idea was that we would play through it together as we did with Gabriel Knight, Fatal Frame, and the classic horror game Phantasmagoria. Of course, I did not end up waiting on her.

It's a creepy game, full of... Read full review »

Pros Good story, great graphics, unique experience
Cons Not many, small glitches here and there, story feels a little cut-off
Recommended it? Yes

The city of Rapture has a serious problem and it's up to you to fix it. The game starts off with you riding an airplane that for some reason goes down into the ocean, as you make your way to what appears to be land, there's fire and chaos all around you. As you step onto dry land you see an... Read full review »

Literary Validation for the Video Game

byyoungchinq Feb 14, 2010
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros The art direction and story - nothing else in the video game world comes close.
Cons Too easy due to the introduction of some ill-advised features.  Disappointing ending.
Recommended it? Yes

BioShock is Adam in the world of video games.  You can take the classic, most memorable video game stories of the past - stories from Half-Life, Final Fantasy VII, Baldur's Gate, and Grim Fandango to name a few - and throw them out the window.  Those were mere games with great stories -...

Cons May be hard for some. System requirements too high for most computers.
Recommended it? Yes


Welcome to Rapture. Welcome to a new start. Welcome to hell on Earth.

Bioshock is without a doubt one of the most original games in the past few years. I am big fan of games, especially first person shooters. I have been a fan ever since the original Wolfenstein all those years ago... Read full review »

Pros Takes advantage of a gaming rated computer
Cons Requirements too much for most computers
Recommended it? Yes

This is the next generation of computer games and it probably sets the reference for overall quality. The primary consideration is determining if your computer system will handle it. The recommendations on the package should be taken seriously. These specs are also on the Internet. If you do not... Read full review »

Cons Low variety of enemies - No death penalty - Requires fairly high end machine
Recommended it? Yes

Bioshock is a science fiction first person shooter that takes on some features of a role playing game (such as the ability to power up your weapons and powers) that takes place in the year 1960. When the game first begins, you are on an airplane, looking through the eyes of a man named Jack, who is... Read full review »

Pros Good Value, Graphics, Challenging
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

This game is a beautiful example of graphics, art, and music. The game starts out showing you how good the graphics are. If you enjoy a game that will keep you on your toes, you will enjoy this to the very end. There is an obvious challenge as to how you want your character to... Read full review »

Honestly one of the best games of all time.

Helpful? 1 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Awesome story, fun experience and immersive.
Cons A little bloody.
Recommended it? Yes

I was so skeptical of this game when it was released on the 360 - tried the demo, quickly dismissed it as a bad game. I gave it a rental for kicks a year or so later, and regret not giving it a second chance sooner. It is an awesome game, very fun and immersive.

You'll never play a game... Read full review »

BioShock

Welcome to Rapture, a city where opportunity awaits those brave enough to grasp it. A city where the artist need not fear the censor. Where the scientist is not bound by petty morality. Where the great are not held back by the weak. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well. Bioshock - one of the greatest games of all time - is now on the Mac. Set in an alternate 1960, Bioshock places you in the middle of Rapture an underwater utopia gone very badly wrong. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. With a provocative and intelligent storyline this is a game that is alternately beautiful, thrilling, funny and frightening and always very involving. An experience that makes you think while you play.
