| | | BioShock is a Revolution in the Shooter Genre that will Forever Change the Expectations for the First Person Shooter!|"BioShock is the ""Genetically Enhanced"" First Person Shooter Where You Can Turn Everything Into a Weapon: the Environment, Your Body, Fire and Water, and Even Your Worst Enemies." Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.
"An unparalleled achievement. No other game comes even remotely close to it in terms of raw emotional connection." GameSpy
"...ingenious, enthralling, and a masterpiece of the most epic proportions." Game Informer
"Not only is the atmosphere intriguing, but the game itself looks beautiful..." IGN
"...[has] a style and atmosphere that'll have players simultaneously scared stiff and continuously curious..." InquestGamer
"...[the] creepiest, most spine-chilling s*** we've seen in years..." Wizard

| | Professional Reviews | GameSpot 9 of 10
Irrational has made a name for itself by creating highly open-ended games that combine elements of action, role-playing, and stealth, among other things. The studio is now hard at work on its upcoming hybrid action game, BioShock, which will place players in the ruins of an undersea settlement in the mid-20th century...The game will let players explore the city in the wake of its crisis, pick up genetic enhancements for themselves to grant them mutant powers, and use enhancements for their weapons to defend themselves using first-person shooter gameplay.

chaver28 from Bath
this will be one of the best nex gen games wen it cums out it will be a big hit in the uk and if i worked in future publishing or ip i would get to test the game and review it. my dream to work on publishing a xbox 360 magazine with future or ip cause they are the best like this game will be but i hope it has a long gameplay more than play for six hours then complete because i hate those games but a least they have show lots of in game footage.
well i'll give this game 9.5/10
