Xbox 360 - BioShock Reviews

Twenty minutes on my first gaming session was more than enough to be taken in by the story. Actually, just the initial scene was enough. — Bioshock begins as your plane crashes into the ocean. As you swim to "safety" among fiery debris to what initially seems like a lighthouse, you find out it's a lot more than that. What you discover is called Rapture, a self-sufficient underwater city obviously inspired in the 40's and Art Deco elements, once a utopian dream, but now the grounds for the result of some genetic experiments gone seriously wrong. — Bioshock keeps you interested… read full review »

Bioshock here may look unusual because it has this very weird story line attach to it but the game is so visually stunning and so well crafted that you just have to see this intense First Person Shooter for yourself. — — The story is going to be hard to explain but I'll try my best. Many years ago in the early 1990's a man named Andrew Ryan (cool name by the way) created his own city underwater simply called Rapture where the citizens were free of religion and could practice any scientific theory they liked. It was supposed to be this fantastic new age world… read full review »

Bioshock is a unique game that takes place in a ruined 1960's world. This is something I'd NEVER expect to see in a game. The game is also like a horror movie; zombies, blood, ghosts. You name it, its there. The whole "Little sister, big daddy" is also a unique aspect of this game. I'd highly recommend this game to any FPS fan or major gamer in general, or to someone who wants to try something new. However, I think the game is played a lot better on the PC, as with any FPS style game. —… read full review »

From the mysterious beginning of the game, you are immersed in a story so deep and full of twists.  The game's story puts you in the perspective of a plane crash victim in the ocean.  You swim your way to a lighthouse which leads you to a submarine called a Bathosphere. Taking it down, you find yourself in giant underwater city called "Rapture".  You are contacted by a man through a radio, who asks you to do favors for him in order to get you out of this place.  The story deepens every step you get from here. — — The graphics are very detailed, and special… read full review »

what can i say about bio shock? i thought that it was an awesome game. some of the levels were pretty difficult but i was able to make my way through the entire game at a realivitly fast pace. i still dont quite understand where they came up with the concept from. The big daddys to me were quite weird i didnt quite understand what the real purpose of them were. Why couldnt you just find the little sisters and be done with it. BUt for the most part i enjoyed the game and have played it several times at home during my spare time. I will continue to keep the game and play it again. I heard that… read full review »

I won't bore you with a synopsis or specifics of the game since you can find that easily anywhere on the net. — — The bottom line is that the game has a great immersive story line, the graphics and sound track are amazing and the gameplay is very intuitive. You can enjoy yourself just as much by just looking at the incredible backgrounds and listening to the eerie soundtrack as you're blasting away baddies. Granted it's a tad on the violent side which is great for us adult gamers, but not something for the kiddies. — — In the end, it's a beautiful shooter worth the… read full review »

Bioshock for the Xbox 360 was amazing!  It definitely lived up to all the hype.  Not only were the graphics incredible, the story line was very captivating.  There is a wide plethora of weapons and "powers" available to the player, as well as shockingly real environments that are a great mix of science fiction and fantasy.  Semi-spoiler alert!  The only downside I really saw with Bioshock was a very anticlimatic last boss fight.  For being the ultimate enemy, Atlas went down way too easy.  Despite that, I still give the game a perfect… read full review »

I think the game begins really well and it is visually impressive.  If you don't have the game set on the highest difficulty level it isn't challenging enough so put it up to the hardest level to be challenged and have more fun with it.  Gameplay is great and the environments are so realistic.  Pros:  graphics, gameplay (if put on the hardest difficulty setting) and the way it pulls you into the game world.  Cons:  too short, strange and difficult to understand storyline. —… read full review »

Bioshock not only came equip with amazing graphics- between the amazing water quality and vibrant yet disturbingly eerie colors- It also had amazing voice actors. Every Diary found was believable and well done. Throughout the game you are kept in suspense as to what your motives are. This game will never be played the same by any two people. There are too many possibilities for a great game play. That's why I recommend this game for any type of gamer- be it an xbox junkie or a newbie. —… read full review »

Bioshock succeeds in making this game worth your money with a great story, great graphics, and some replay value depending on what type of gamer you are. And believe me, this story is not short. For the PS3 owners who have never played this game before should definitely check this game out and the PS3 version includes extra content the Xbox 360 version does not have and it will include support for PS3 trophies. Excellent… read full review »

Bioshock was an amazing game to play.  I've beaten twice now and just can't put it down.  If you are looking for a surreal experience with great ambience, this is the game to own.  The only downfall is perhaps the fact that there is no online play, but the story is so immersive that it makes up for that one shortfall.  BUY IT TODAY —… read full review »

Bioshock is one of the greatest games ever made, it incorporates 1st person shooter aspects while still having some rpg aspects.  The graphics were terrific and made some parts scary.  There isnt multiplayer but the single player story mode alone will make you want to play the game over and over… read full review »

I am a playstation fan. — — I don't have a xbox 360. — — BUT despite all of those reasons I'm STILL giving PRAISE to Bioshock. — — Like I said most unique and creative shooter I've ever played. Great story and atmosphere. Definitly recommended to those who want something different. —… read full review »

This game is as fun as it is unique.  Using truly futuristic weapons that are a part of your genetic code is cool.  However, it is a little graphic at times and gets kind of over the top.  Overall gameplay is a ton of fun, but stay away if you don't like the… read full review »
