BioShock for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

When this game first came out in 2007, I strickly judged this book by it's cover. I thought it was a game that I wouldn't enjoy and therefore passed up. However when I finally rented it and played it, it was a game that was amazingly stunning.

I am very, to the extreme, picky about the games I rent or buy. When I finally played this game, it not only met but exceeded my expectations. The graphics are like none I've ever seen, the story line is exceptional and I love the way you have the ability to determine the outcome of each scene and ultimatley the game itself.

I've never played a game that intrigued me and literally had me jumping out of my seat. Playing this game with a full surround sound system is a must. It is rare that I buy a game and enjoy playing it over and over and over again.

This game is a must have and for those who poorly rated this game, you obviously don't have any idea what in the world you are talking about. It's obvious that BioShock is not your genre of gaming.

Bioshock is a gaming masterpiece. It's gonna be hard to review without doing any spoilers, but i will overcome! First off, let's start with the story, which has more plot twists then Watchmen had subplots. While on a plane, suddenly it crashes and your stranded in the middle of the ocean. Luckily there's an island nearby, which you swim to and find out that it's really an elevator to the underwater world Rapture, an underwater utopia that had now been infested with horrible monsters. And this is only the first 10 minutes.

The controls are solid, and every moment you know that you are much weaker then the denizens of Rapture. The graphics are stunning and the music is always a refresher because it makes you feel safe, which you never are. Also, stalking the buildings of Rapture are creatures called Big Daddies, which are robots that, if not cautious enough, can kill you in an instant. These are used in opt-in boss battles, which feels great because it never breaks the flow. Also you have a wide array of weapons and special powers to take down foes, and it's always fun to experiment.

Last but not least, here's the breakdown

Story: 10/10 (the story is always intriguing, especially when your finding radio transmitters to fill in the back story)

Entertainment: 10/10 (you'll always be on the edge of your seat, knowing that ambushes are always likely)

Music: 9/10 (the music will always feel refreshing, but all the music are from the 1960's, which will sometimes make you wish for something more)

Graphics: 10/10 (stunning, beautiful, creepy, detailed make everything really stand out)

Playability 9/10 (great controls, but why is it that sometimes hacking has a 0% success rate?)

Overall, this game gets a 10 out of 10
