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:  When BioShock was announced, few would have known the impact it would have on the gaming landscape and few would have known just how well it would turn out. Coming from the guys behind the two System Shock PC games, there was history but there was also...

  • Absolutely amazing atmosphere and visual design with the technical prowess to back it all up, Lots of character customization options to play around with, Great voice cast really sells the storyline.
  • Annoying hitches cause the game to freeze for a few seconds at a time, but it only seems to start happening after playing the game for several hours, Lack of death penalty keeps things fun, but also keeps things a little too easy.
  • BioShock creates an amazing world that youll want to explore from top to bottom and a compelling mystery that slowly comes together as you play. ...

  Published: 2007-08-28, review by: darkzero.co.uk

  • Abstract:  Including more exhilaration and atmosphere in the first twenty minutes than most titles could offer over their entirety, BioShock stands tall as the true evolution of the FPS genre. Words do not do the game justice – my fumbled ramblings certainly will...
