The editors didn't like

  • Crushing depression resulting from harvesting Little Sisters
  • 25 hours is too short for a game this good.
  • No multiplayer
  • Story
  • 2K Games
  • BioShock tells the story of a plane crash survivor that somehow ends up in the underwater city of Rapture. Rapture was designed in the 1950’s to be a utopia
  • But drugs and greed have twisted the inhabitants into monsters and turned the city into a run down nightmare. To spell out any more of the story would spoil much of what makes BioShock great
  • So I'll
  • Annoying hacking minigame
  • Combat can be clunky.
  • Lack of variety in enemies
  • Hacking minigame becomes repetitive and tiresome for how much you have to play it
  • Replay value solely dependent on how much you’re willing to go through the game again.
  • Lack of personal shadow
  • Odd physics in some water.

  • Abstract:  Jack, the protagonist whose name we know only from a name written on a cutscene birthday present, begins the tale plane-wrecked in the middle of the ocean, saved only by a very well placed underwater city. Rapture is “where the artist would not fear...

  • Abstract:  So much has been written about BioShock that a review is almost a moot point. If youre the kind of gamer that has picked up on every scrap of information, read each preview and sourced facts from countless interviews and hands-on impressions, then you...

  • So here we are at the end of a 3,000-word review for a game that words really can’t describe. BioShock is quite simply the adventure-RPG of the year, perhaps of all-time. It’s going to be quite some time before anybody can top this game. With...

  • Abstract:  BioShock is Irrationals finest offering to date, as well as the swan song for the Irrational brand in a way, since they recently relinquished their longstanding and well-established studio name for the more corporate, faceless tag of 2K Boston and 2K ...

  • Outstanding story; disturbing enemies; brilliant visuals and sound design; inescapable atmosphere.
  • Crushing depression resulting from harvesting Little Sisters; 25 hours is too short for a game this good.
  • There is a definite reason that BioShock has earned GameSpys Game of the Show for the last two years at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. While some have called developer Irrationals magnum opus "the spiritual successor to System Shock 2" (the PC ti...

  • Gameplay mechanics; AI; graphics; water effects.
  • Lack of personal shadow; odd physics in some water.
  • The must have title of 2007? It could very well be.
