the game never really appealed to me with the demo..but the game is so dirt cheap now that im gonna give it a go. It got high reviews by critics and players so i might enjoy it more with the full version. Can't wait, ill probably end up picking Oblivion back up too just cuz i want to play that game again.

The story and atmosphere in the game can not be beaten this gen, granted this is personal opinion. I loved the game it is deff my fave game on the 360 so far.

I think I'm going to hop into this boat soon. I played the demo but this game has gotten too much hype and too many people agree on it that I can't ignore it anymore. Especially with an 18 dollar price tag at GameStop.

its pretty much a AAA title everywhere, ignore the hates. remember, there are people that hate on every good game and say its overhyped. i cant guarantee youll like the game, but killing big daddies is awesome.

Oh I'm sure it's awesome and it seems to be really driven by it's story, which gets me going. I can play a game that has a weak story if it's really fun. If Bioshock is really fun with a great story as well then I'll be sold for life. I'm interested in the sequel and being able to play as a Big Daddy will be really fun so I want to catch up on the first one first.

well the story is very cool, but most of it is told through your little communicator, atmosphere, and what you observe. which in my opinion, makes it very immersive. to be honest, i dont think theres been a game this gen that has created a better atmosphere than bioshock. maybe mass effect.

Ironically I'm playing through Mass Effect now. I played a bit of it when my friend had it but there was so much dialog I wanted to get through that I got distracted by other shinier new games that came out around that time. Now that I'm putting more thought into it I'm really enjoying it. I'm excited to see how Bioshock grabs me.

I dont know the only thing that i hate in Bioshock is itsatmosphere. maybe cause i hate darkconfusingatmospheres !!

also there is absolutely novariety in theatmosphere .long game with novariety is a bad thing ..

though the story and the gameplay make the game one of the best ..

Once you get into the meaty part of the game, you'll reailze how twisted the city of Rapture really is. The city is really the main character. And as someone else said, the Big Daddies are something to experience. When you start hearing their thumping footsteps and feel the rumble you'll feel the anticipation of the faceoff.

Not just one of the best games this gen. One of the best games of all time. Very few games can pull every piece together as well as Bioshock did. The story, Atmosphere, Gameplay all fit together perfectly. Amazing game, still my favorite thus far.

Make sure you download the free DLC before you start playing! It adds a few more plasmids and the ability to turn off vita-chambers, if you so wish.

ok so i put up a Gamertag signature on my profile here..so add me if any of you want. Unfortunately, my old gamertag was hacked and deleted and I don't think Microsoft is going to be able to recover it even though they say they are trying to. It sucks because I can't play 3/4 of my downloaded Rock Band 2 songs (160 songs) plus the Rock band 1 songs. I also lost all that Xbox live i had left on my old account and game saves. I think my Gold runs out soon as well with this new account. Im really hoping its temporary.

I've just bought the game and it's pretty cool so far. Although with the comment above for me it'd be dead space :)

Bioshock blew my mind, I totally got absorbed in the world, loved every minute of it. Would be a close battle with HL2 + expansions for best game of this gen for me.

Bioshock is definitely a great game, and I got it for a great price, about $25 used.

Good choice and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. The game has a deep rich story, is amazing in the audio department, and the atmosphere is very immersive.

I rented it and didn't really enjoy it but I think I'm going to buy it and give it more of a chance. I usually like single player games too.

You couldn't have made a better choice . Bioshock is guaranteed not to dissapoint you .It's level of atmosphere is jaw dropping .
