Video Game- Xbox 360- BioShock

BioShock is a dark ride through the City of Rapture, a place where dreams turn into nightmares. A creative underwater thrill ride that will engulf you until the climactic finish.

Overall Rating: 9.3

Story: The story is unlike anything that I have ever seen. Really sucks you in and won't let go until the end. It is filled with twists and turns that will leave you guessing. It also includes multiple endings which gives it some replay value as well. I personally felt that all the endings were kinda short and not too much emphasis were put on them considering the major part the story plays in the game.

Rating: 8.7

Game Play: The Game play is much like other first person shooters. It also adds the factor of survival horror games where you will be scrambling for ammo and Eve. The game will start to get hard and forces you to use your genetic mutations in order to survive so those who are looking to play through the game as just a first person shooter you are in for some difficulties. BioShock also includes mini-games that are played to accomplish certain things like opening safes or hacking cameras. These can be skipped if you want but are quite fun.

Rating: 9.6

Controls: The controls of this game are laid out pretty well but I had a little bit of a time getting used to them. I found myself just using the remainder of my Eve in order to reload it. Numerous times I would fire off whatever weapon that I was holding when I respawned causing me to die or suffer more damage. However none of these issues really detracted from the game just minor annoyances.

Rating: 7.9

Graphics: The dank and gritty graphics of Bioshock definitely add to the flavor that the game is trying to get across. This game would definitely not be for everyone. Some people would not want to play it because of the fear factor and the fact that it is under water for some reason just adds to the eeriness. The graphics are not the best that I have ever seen but they do a good job in taking you to Rapture and enjoying your stay there.

Rating: 8.5
