We can add a reviews only to those games that we have purchased. I have purchased BioShock, so here I am! Yeah!!

Before buying this game I have played the Demo. It was scary demo but fantastic! Now that I have the game I will be able to play longer then the Demo allowed.

Big Dady and Little Sisters, are the starts of this game. I have saw all 3 alternative ends for this game.... But it doesn't removed my which to play the full game version by my own.

It seams we can't play Bioshock 1 online. And I am trying to find a map editor for this game... If you know where to find this map editor, please tell me.

Thank you for ready,

Thank you Gamersgate!

Happy play!

I'm not usually a very big fan of FPS games, but this one was surprisingly well put together. The story is entirely told through recordings left by those who came before you and by transmissions you receive from characters in the game. The city is very atmospheric and remains a pleasure to uncover every nook and cranny throughout the entire game, never becoming annoying or dull. Exploration is well rewarded with numerous items and upgrades, and I had a lot of fun playing with all the different weapons and special abilities, finding my perfect mix. I haven't played it on the hardest mode, but considering what a newbie I am to FPS games and the ease with which I played (little difficulty on normal, breezed through without a single death on easy) tells me that if you're looking for a challenge, you may want to look elsewhere. If you're looking for a great FPS that lets you pick your playstyle and provides a narrative and atmosphere that drives you ever forward to the end, it's definitely worth checking out!

This is one of the best first-person-shotters that I ever played, it has an awesome story and design, the Rapture is an incredible cenary, they managed to make a "futuristic" city in the fifties that goes wrong plausibe. The gameplay is great, the plasmids made you have a hole set of different abilitys that makes this FPS unique. The enemies are smart, especially the Big Daddy, that is really hard to kill. But one thing that piss me off about this game, is that he only accepts a Xbox 360 controller, so if you have another controller, you can't use it to play this game...

One of the best First Person Shooters this generation. Made by the team resposnible for System Shock 2, this is a pseudo-sequel to the Shock series. From the first moments you enter Rapture (the underwater city where the game takes place) you'll know this will be an experience you'll never forget.

It is a FPS that tells a story, a good story, whether directly or by way of the environment. The graphics are still good today, the gameplay is great. Simply put, Bioshock is an experience. Not to be missed.

The day I first got my hands on this game was a day I will definitely remember for a very long time. I'm a real sucker for great narrative structure and atmospheres, and this game has the mother-load of both.

The game-play is reminiscent of the old system shock series but they really cultivated the underwater experience and took out some of the more tedious mechanics to allow the player to enjoy the captivating underwater city environment.

The combat isn't amazing; in-fact, I would say it was sub-par for an FPS, but the bad combat is by far outweighed by the experience that Bioshock provides during and around the combat. Many things can be hacked to fight for you and there is a great deal of plasmids available for use that provide endless entertainment.

The storyline gets a bit bad after meeting Ryan face to face, but I still enjoyed myself happily right to the end of the game, which is about 28 hours of gameplay if you are a good player.

If you are about to play this game for the first time, I would like to tell you how much I envy you, as my first experience with Bioshock was an absolutely amazing one.

Overall, this is definitely a game that you have to play at least once in your life, and I can almost guarantee you will enjoy your time in rapture.

Great game, works with a controller (unlike 2) and does not have achievements (if that matters to you).

You probably already know about the story. It's great and no sense in spoiling it for everyone.

You get to go all 1950's underwater +10.

There is no multiplyaer - but there didn't need to be.....basically everything that is "so-so" for bioshock 2 is either not in the first one, or done better. If you had to choose, play the first one. The second is really so-so.

Considering how many FPS titles there are out there, it can be hard sometimes to compare them. What made Bioshock, for me, my favorite FPS is the depth and quality of the world it is set in. Yes, the graphics are great and the game play is suitably smooth (like several similar FPS games) but the world is just breathtaking. From the beginning the world sells itself, and the effect it achieves is too good to miss.

If you are considering purchasing Bioshock, might I tell you that you won't regret it. Every aspect of this game is astounding, and it's one of the most memorable experiences in gaming I've had in a while. Gameplay is fun and well-balanced, story is well-written (the background of the city of rapture and the major characters is great), art style is very unique and well-translated into the game's graphics. Definitely on my list of top gaming experiences.

This is a really fun game to play. I have enjoyed it very much. It is awesome to play the graphics are great. It is a bit intimidating to start but you soon learn a trick or two.

Don't let the DRM stories scare you. Previously DRM was an issue with Bioshock but 2K Games has fortunately changed how it works. Before you could reinstall it 2 times and then you had to call SecureROM. Then it was changed to 5 times and then completely removed. As for the game itself it is brilliant. The soundtrack takes you back to the 30's in the creepy yet seducing world Rapture is. It is a worthy "successor" to System Shock 2 in my opinion and Bioshock 2 is also just as great an experience. Don't let this game go by you...

This is a fantastic game with an amazing story, graphics that look great even after all this time, fun and intresting gameplay, lots of variety with the plasmids, well designed levels and a lot of shocking plot twists that will put you on edge even more. Overall definatly worth a buy at any price

5/5

Production values are high, i.e. graphics, sound and so on are very good. Gameplay is good, too. Setting and story aren't your run of the mill scenario either. Levels are varied and the overall length of the game is just about right. It's neither too short or so long it would start to feel tedious.

However it has its downsides. The story is only innovative on a high level. As it progresses it becomes very predictable and cliché.

Other than that, there's a host of minor points of criticism that add up. The difficulty curve drops the longer you play. The minigame gets annoying after several dozen times. The loot/inventory system feels limiting (you can only carry very little ammo/money and for the most part there's no way to check what or how much you are carrying). Plus it feels like they tried to include too many gameplay mechanics that don't really add to the game (e.g. crafting, camera farming, many redundant/useless "spells").

Overall it's fun to play but lacks replayability.

I had alot of fun playing this game. There are basically two sets of equipment. One is the guns. The other is the special powers. It gives you a coose-you-own-method of game play.

The enemies are varied with only a few mega bosses that need many hits to kill. This is a good thing to me.

The enemies you do have will move around on their own. That means you can't always count on them being in the same spot. Some you can but not all of them. You can also setup ambushes and traps for them.

It was fun to have a shooter game with such variety.

This is one of the not so big collection of FPS games that nearly all the "done right´s" in it there can be. Story, Setting Presentation and Gameplay it just breath taking.

But there are faults, in my book:

- the "Savegame"-system just regenerates you after seconds after you die on the same timeline. This means skillful fighting isn´t that rewarding as you just can back and come back and come back... until everybody is dead.

- the Help-system always tells you EXACTLY what to do and where to go next. Taking a lot of exploration fun.

And the story make the game a bit too linear in feeling.

- Audio Diaries are MANDATORY on your first playthrough. Otherwise you just will not get what the heck is going on in Rupture.

If you don´t mind that or learn to work with it this is still a exemplary story driven FPS game.

I finished this game last christmas vacation. At first I thought its just another storyless shoot-em-up FPS genre with highly improved graphics, I was proven wrong immediately after a few minutes playing. The story is so intriguing, the environment is so fascinating specially the Victorian steam punk motif of the environment. And when you thought you've seen it all, wait til you reach the story ending, you wouldn't expect how the game will end. No wonder Angie of gamersgate highly recommended this game, indeed, its highly recommendable. The graphics is so advanced, specially when you walk through water. The sound is great too, very nice to showcase your good sound system. I gave it a 5 out of 5 rating.

It is a great game.You have to play this even if you are not into FPSs. This game has specific atmosphere that will make you keep playing it. Highly recommended.

Ahhh!! Bioshock! You truly have redefined the genre, have you? By introducing a state of the art plot, marvelous graphics, superb gameplay and great sound effects... How come there's people not playing you?

Plot preview:

You impersonate a survivor of a plane crash who suddendly finds himself amidst the Atlantic Ocean... you swim for a lighthouse you find nearby only to find that in truth it is the very doorstep of a city... a giant city, underwater: Rapture. An distopian paradise city, the very dream of 19th century's Utilitarianists... soon after arriving you realize that something's gone wrong... horribly wrong... and you must survive in the harsh environment Rapture has become, whilst unraveling many a secret and twisted plot.

I did not have many expectations for this game, since I don’t like first-person shooters (despite it says RPG, this game remains mostly a shooter). But I must say that I like Bioshock quite a lot. So much, indeed, that I am now considering to buy the sequel, Bioshock 2.

The story is just great. An original, compelling, and well written story. That alone would be enough to endure the more frantic features of a shooter. On top of that, the graphic is superb, and the visual effects are also part of the story and gameplay (like when you pass through water and you lose a clear visual, very well done).

I enjoyed the RPG-features, of course there is nothing too complex or demanding in that department, you just find better weapons, better ammunitions, and some "genetic enhancements" that make you stronger or faster or use a form of "magic". Simple, but overall well-done and interesting enough to make you want to see more. Not enough to make me want to play again as I usually do with RPGs (try this class, than try another class, and so forth), but still, more than I expected.

I was also pleased to see that they took the trigger-happy features typical of shooters at bay with well balanced difficulty levels. You can play with minimal pressure on you reflex and aim but still have a decent challenge and, above all, feel that you are really part of the story. Well done as well.

I thoroughly recommend this game to anybody interested in RPGs, at the current price is also a steal and will keep you happy for weeks.

Bioshock has often been called the spiritual successor to system shock. It does have elements of SS, but despite the unique atmosphere of the game there is something about it that just doesnt grab me. If you like FPS with added complexity then you might possibly like this

This game is truly one of the greats, including an epic and interesting story and impressively enjoyable game mechanics. The immersion this game has is truly a sight to behold, such as the first time you look out to see Rapture, it's truly amazing. I have no complaints about this game really, I recommend it to anyone who loves games in general.

This is definitely one the the better FPS games I have played. The atmosphere is one you will remember forever and the storyline will floor you. Don't pass it up or you will regret it.
