THE GOOD:
Heavy and Violent battles
Fair Storyline, it's an FPS after all
Good weapons/abilties

THE BAD:
Too short
No multiplayer options...

SUMMARY:
This game is a First Person Shooter(FPS) set in an underwater world in the 1960's. The game starts off with a plane crash near a rather strangely placed tower in the middle of the sea. Entering the tower leads to a submerging bell that leads the player into an under water world and having a small movie shown to them by the creator of the said city.

The player soon finds themself in Raptor, an underwater world. The designs are rather Art Deco and most of the weaponry in the game reflects the era tho some are of a slightly more recent tone. You can also buy ammo and health kits from various vending machines around the game, these can also be hacked to give more ammo and to supply items for cheaper.

the player also gets various abilities from gene splicing tonics...

THE GOOD:
Can't find anything to like about this game.

THE BAD:
Game too dark. Too much water and special effects slows down game-play significantly game-play
too fast without enough light to see what you're doing. False advertising regarding specs. This game requires much, much more than the recommended specs to play and enjoy. Am tire of lies and deceipt. I bought this TRUSTING I was being told the truth but as in Oblivion the specs are just a lie.

SUMMARY:
I've played Bioshock for a few hours now and just can't get into the rhythm or find anything enjoyable or to like about it. I loved Half Life 2. I loved Dark Messiah and many other games but this Bioshock is such a huge disappointment that so far I can't find anything, not even a single thing that I like about the game from the sound to the graphics. Playability rates at 0/10.

Graphics - Dark, uninviting and very unimpressive. Also I have a fairly high end machine but...

THE GOOD:
Violence is the key
Art-deco horror
The ability to use our surroundings as a weapon
Use anything but the kitchen sink as a weapon
A new inventive way of breathing life back into the FPS genre
The cuddly "mr bubbles" I mean big daddy bouncer

THE BAD:
Nothing, come on who wouldn't want to run around a destroyed underwater city bashing freaky locals heads in with a wrench?

Not confirmed or denied that an editor will be released for modding abilities or if DLC will be available

SUMMARY:
A game worthy enough of the 5.0 rating and not a biased one. No Bioshock is a game that derserves every point of the 5.0. I am a guy who loves horror but yawns and gets bored of the recent horror movies...why? Because they are easy to predict and it is all recycled garbage. The same is happening to games and finally a company have given a new direction to the FPS genre.

How did they do this? I hear you cry,...

THE GOOD:
  • Atmosphere
  • Action
  • Big Daddies (more 'bosses' than you can poke a stick at people)
  • PUZZLES!
  • Art-deco horror

    THE BAD:

  • It ends

    SUMMARY:
    This is the most interesting game I have played in a very long time. For me it had everything. The first thing that gets you when you start the game is how immersive it is, you feel very connected with your character. The second thing is that it has that Myst quality for me, the mystery and exploration. You really sort of take the trip with your character, as you slowly get a greater idea what happened to Rapture. Another thing is that as far as survival horror goes this is awesome. The game is genuinely chilling, (not to mention revoltingly gory) and some of the flash-back sounds and ghosts can tell such a disturbing story that it does freak you out just a tad. In fact in...
