BioShock

A unique FPS.. finally

Strengths: The graphics, the gameplay, the storyline.

Weakness: Some kind of DLC would of been appreciated..as well as SOME kind of online. But that's just being picky.

Usually FPS games are a dime a dozen. Not BioShock. It's a great game. Yes, everyone is right. It's a great and fun game. The storyline is awesome, the controls are great..and, oh yeah it's fun. It can be a little too dark, but it's really nothing spooky. Just creepy? Yeah. If you haven't picked this up, well..what are you waiting for? Have Gamefly? At least put it in your Q! It's worth that at...

Have Gamefly? At least put it in your Q! It's worth that at the very least!

Undersea Mad House

Strengths: Graphics, Story, Gameplay, Sound

Weakness: Not much Replayabilty after Two times

Bioshock is a first-person action/adventure game for the XBOX 360. The player plays as some guy who's plane crashes in the sea, finds a lighthouse, and then ends up entering an underwater city called Rapture which is torn apart by a civil war.

Bioshock is a first-person action/adventure game for the XBOX 360. The player plays as some guy who's plane crashes in the sea, finds a lighthouse, and then ends up entering an underwater city called Rapture which is torn apart by a civil war. The controls are similar to most first-person shooters on consoles. The player can use a normal weapon ranging from a wrench to grenade launcher or plasmids. Plasmids are genetic super powers which can give you powers like being able to zap enemies with lightening or turning an enemy into an ally. The graphics are amazing, with every little bit of detail adding to the atmosphere. This game is ace in the atmosphere department. The posters, signs, decor, outside windows showing the ocean world, all adds to the feeling that the player is in an underwater city some time in the 1960's. The story-line is decent and there are even two endings to play-through. The sound gives it a sixties feel. Only real gripe is that after the second play-through there isn't much replay value. Its a great game and every 360 owner should own it. I give the game 5 stars. Its about time the good games started rolling in this year 2007.

Bioshock

Strengths: A first-person shooter with a brain (good, deep story)

Weakness: Eh, it's still an FPS

First off I'll say I'm not an FPS (first-person shooter) fan. However, Bioshock was different enough for me to give it a shot. It has great graphics, and, even better, great art design. The Art Deco environment of underwater city of Rapture is absolutely stunning both graphically and from a design standpoint. The combat is fairly varied, with different projectile weapons and a force-like magical...

First off I'll say I'm not an FPS (first-person shooter) fan. However, Bioshock was different enough for me to give it a shot. It has great graphics, and, even better, great art design. The Art Deco environment of underwater city of Rapture is absolutely stunning both graphically and from a design standpoint.

The combat is fairly varied, with different projectile weapons and a force-like magical attack than can be enhanced with items found during the game. You can also hack security systems to attack enemies or to open doors and safes. The hacking minigame is enjoyable and a nice change of pace from the FPS action.

Bioshock is widely recognized as one of the very best games available on the Xbox 360. If you are an FPS or action game fan in general it is a no-brainer purchase. But even people who aren't fans of those genres should give it a chance.

Don't Play This

Strengths: Sucks you into a story that's engrossingly bizarre--also a huge weakness of the game (read on)

Weakness: Immoral "decisionmaking"

Life's hard enough without purposely "entering" a pretend world that, according to the game designers themselves is, "terrible." I regret playing this game and wish I hadn't exposed myself to these images of mutated and mutilated little girls. This game is, in one word, horrific.
