Not being the most die-hard FPS fan, I honestly was not sure what to expect with Bioshock. I was shocked (pardon the pun) that I found myself playing this game into the wee hours of the morning the first time I picked it up. This game has a 5 star rating IMO, in spite of it being a 2007 hit, I believe it still remains probably the best, or one of the best games today in the genre.

Graphics are superb, and really draw you into being paranoid with the dark, gloomy environments. coupled with the wonderful immersive sound (I used headphones with my video game chair) You always feel something could jump out at you, and they do that constantly! More than a few times I found myself virtually out of breath running away and/or trying to kill the genetically-modified monsters... The story telling is probably the most interesting I've come across in a long time in a video game. The narrative is told in such a great way, with sound clips you pick up from different items, each part spoken by another character of the unfolding and creepy story. Most games I skip a lot of what would normally be boring storyline but not so with bioshock. It is all very interesting, albeit disturbing beyond imagination... its a book you can't put dow n

This game is supposed to be brilliant/revolutionary/everything else. All I keep hearing about is Bioshock's new revolutionary level layout system - prepopulated maps with AI that lets your enemies roam freely. No two games will ever be played the same way. I think this AI in all our games would be welcomed. That way I can just keep playing Halo 3 and not memorize where the White Elite shows up.

A truly scary video game with great graphics. Don't play this one in the dark if you are a jumpy person. This game is pretty disturbing, but that's part of the fun.

This is THE GAME!

its a dark fun game

A surprisingly deep shooter which sets up an excellent atmosphere and mood.

Universal and Gore Verbinski are going into “Bioshock.” Studio has signed a deal to turn last year’s hit videogame, which won numerous awards and sold more than 2 million units worldwide, into a film. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” helmer is attached to direct and produce. “Aviator” scribe John Logan is in talks to pen the screenplay. “Bioshock” publisher Take-Two Interactive is getting a multimillion-dollar advance against gross points on the pic. It’s believed to be the biggest videogame-to-movie deal since 2005, when U and Fox signed onto the since aborted “Halo” pic, for which Microsoft got $5 million against 10%. Take-Two executive chairman Strauss Zelnick said the “state of the art” deal is structured so that “Bioshock” won’t end up in turnaround like “Halo,” which is back with Microsoft. (via Variety)

One of the best games on the market!!
