Bioshock Review





Bioshock was a great First Person Action/RPG style game with a flowing story that Kept me wanting more. To give truth to this game, I'd say it had the best story of 07, and it helped hide the small instinces where you might find a flaw in the game.

The weapons in the game really impressed me, not only the weapons but the way the humour was used with the demonstrations of the weapons and how the game allowed you to be creative with them. With Bioshock you are given the use of not only melee wrench, and guns, you are given the use of plasmids. Plasmids are injected to give you powers like lightning bolts, or fireballs, even bee swarms.


Plasmid Needles are only to generally boost the plasmids use, not any one in peticular, giving a little more simplicity and less to worry about. Without Plasmids, you could try to get through the game, but you would probably run out of ammo alot, and plasmids are plain fun.

Sound is a great big part of Bioshock, the effects and voice acting is brilliant, and the fact that there are recordings as a opposed to cutscenes, and radio instead of misson briefing, it keeps the illusion going for much longer. The weapon noises were good, and for plasmids the noise was decent.

Graphics were a key make or break thing in this game, but not to a large degree, I think most people will love the Art Style and cartoony design of Bioshock, the Graphics were Excellent, but if you don't love the look of this game, then you will find yourself bored.

If I had to choose a game of the year for 2007 now, I think looking back, Bioshock might be it, as far as PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 go. Looking forward I think the sequel will
