Somewhere, beyond the sea...
Welcome to Rapture, an underwater paradise, which went wrong. The ingenious creation of humanity is now plagued by various horrors and shambling monstrosities. From the very first moment, you will notice two things - the amazing graphics, which could be the best of 2007's along with Crysis and others. And second - the deep, engrossing story. From the peaceful airplane to the depth of hell, Bioshock makes an entire world a living, breathing experience. And so you come in. You are the one, who shall go down and stop this hellish machination. Instead of the usual "I go and kill stuff!" routine, bioshock makes you think - from how to modify your weapons, to what powers do you want to use. Which way will you go? How will you use your powers? Will you be good or evil?
The graphics, as mentioned, are amazing. You will instantly feel that you're down there. In an underwater city. There is so much detail in the entire world, that you begin to think that it's true.
The sound is, honestly, wonderful! Every crack and spill can be heard. The voicing is done masterfully.
The gameplay is very good. Unfortunately, no multiplayer.
Sum-up:
If you want a game, that's not just shooting and running, this is for you. The story is great, but there is no multiplayer, so it's your call. NOT FOR THE EASILY FRIGHTENED OR THE FAINT OF HEART. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
