Part of me wants to run counter to all the hype surrounding this game. "Look" I want to scream "It's just another rooms and corridor 3D shooter. It isn't doing anything that revolutionary. The AI isn't as good as F.E.A.R. Half of the gameplay is straight out of Deus Ex and System Shock 2. The DirectX 10 enhancements aren't all that great. Isn't all the waffle about interactive art and moral choices getting a little bit out of scale?"
But the simple fact is that I can't. Bioshock isn't a game you can compare with others in terms of technical features, graphics and AI. The only way you can judge it is to take the experience as a whole. And frankly, on those terms, it's out in a league of its own.

By now, you're probably at least dimly aware of the basics. The game takes place in Rapture: an undersea city built as a utopia by a rich industrialist and a gaggle of intellectuals looking to escape the political and moral strictures of the surface world. Sadly, Rapture's dream has gone horribly wrong. A mixture of deep-set corruption and dangerous substances has brought about its ruin. As you - the lone survivor of a mid-Atlantic aircrash - enter, Rapture is falling apart. Its tunnels are collapsing, leaks are everywhere, and its denizens have gone utterly, barking mad, splitting into gangs of ‘splicers' who roam the halls and corridors in search of ‘plasmids', ‘Eve' and ‘Adam
The finest game of the current generation. Other games may match or surpass it on technology or features, but it's hard to imagine anything competing in terms of storytelling prowess or overall vision. A masterpiece!
