Another game that out did itsefl
Bioshock is first of it's kind...by which I mean is story and gameplay wise. The story is set close the world war or alittle bit after it. A man had a dream which is to build a city in which goverments could never throw their rules and laws at you....the city is RAPTURE...a city built under the ocean...under the sea...under the land...ok thats just alittle to much on my part.
Anyways the story has you a young man travelling on a plane to somewhere but is shot down by something....in which "chance" the crash landing is right near the door way to the Under water city. As you enter this city of life and freedom you see how much the outside is different from the inside....alot different... The city has become nothing but a empty place of lost dreams and hopes....but is it really empty thats for you to play the game and find out....
The story is nicely done having you the chance to put all the pieces together to find out what happened by getting audio logs or you can just blast your way through the game killing everything in sit. The game's ai is nicely done
having them completely open minded meaning that they could attack you head on, run for help or even go heal themselves at a heal station if their hurt. The ai is so nicely done when you set them on fire they run for water.
The enemy ai will attack you and other npcs just because they look better then each other. The game also has some lovely Neutral npcs called Big daddies....they aren't friendly one bit. If you leave them alone they will leave you alone...but of course you can use some skills and turn your big friend into an ally or just something to be used as a problem for others.
The game has the wide weapon selection and also stations in which you can upgrade them...the cool thing about this is once you upgrade the gun you see the gun change and have different parts on it....somethings you might see weird....a water pipe apart of your gun...ok....
The downfall is the game seems short but then again I rushed through my first time due to wanted to play it before I had my 2 jobs start lol. Anyways the game also takes away the joy of death, in each area there is a chamber in which you will be summoned at after you die.....meaning no start over and killing the same enemies you already killed. The down fall of this is you can't turn them off and sometimes the enemy will camp the chamber and kill you before you can say hi. On hard you would have to save every step just to make sure you don't get into the death chamber lol. Learning how to play is easy and if you do get the lost of controls you can always enter a loading area and the controls will appear in the loading giving you time to work out your hand skills...the loading screen also has tips on how to kill or use objects....big help for sure.
Overall the game is well done, it doesn't have coop in anyway like system shock 2 but o well its still fun. For those that love the action/adventure then get this game without a doubt. For those that really hate the enemy jump out of the dark or around the corner making you jump off your chair then just get this game for the heck of it lol....
I hope they make part 2 or another game like this....
