BioShock (Xbox 360)

Graphics: Breathtaking 10/10
The graphics are make you look twice – anyone fans of Art Deco, or even deep sea life will see the immediate beauty of this game. Take some time to watch the water and the detail of it.

Sound: Amazing – 9.5/10
The sounds, music, effects, and voices take you immediately into the game. Surround sound is a must so you can hear the uttering, chanting, and footsteps of the citizens of this underwater city.

Gameplay: Spectacular – 10/10
Smooth animations, large levels, smart enemies and A.I., different possibilities for battles and puzzles – without giving anything away, this game is different, and in a good way.

Replay Value – Amazing 9.5/10
Even without multiplayer, this game has high replay value. You get to choose your own path, make your own choices, all which effect the outcome of the game. The developers left out multiplayer to generate a perfect single player adventure – and they did just that.

Overall – Perfect 10/10
I am a fan of First-Person-Shooters (FPS) and all that is associated with them. This is a FPS technically, but it is so much more. The details and ideas that went in this game prove that risks are still being taken in game development, and they pay off.

Bioshock is labeled as a first person shooter, but it is so much more. It creates its own genre. It has elements taken from genres such as RPG, puzzlers, action-adventures, but is not pigeonholed into this experience. Spending time with this game, it is apparent that 2K games wanted to create a cinematic and different experience in a game – one not felt before.

Bioshock took a chance to be different, and it worked. This game is gorgeous, involved, and deep - and it is not the same experience twice. The gameplay and completion of the game is different for each user, which just shows you how much time and thought went into this game. With this much depth, it is hard to compare it to something, and you can’t right now, it is in a league of its own. Typically, when I play a game that I truly enjoy, I have a wow moment – maybe two. This game made me do that several different times. This game is definitely worth checking out, and I hope that it does not get lost in the shuffle with all the other great games coming out in the fall 2007 - This is a must buy!

Thanks! i got if fast and it was in excellent condition! Thanks for sending it so quickly! got it just in time for the weekend

If you don't like Bioshock then you probably like games like wii sports. which either makes you old or a tool. Bioshock rocks and if you haven't played the 2007 game of the year then you're missing out.

Great game with plenty os suspense and shocking moments. Well worth the pay and a game you might condiser keeping. Basic first person shooter, with different levels of play. Enjoy
p.s. watch out for big daddy's and don't sit too close to the tv, scary moments make you jump!=)

Excellent story, wonderful game play. Right up there with Half Life 2, in my opinion. Definitely deserved its 2007 game of the year award. Look out for the prequel--hopefully the rumors are true!

Shipping was reasonable but it was well worth the wait. The game is subperb. Enjoying it! It took a while for it to be delieverd. I wish it was a little bit faster in shipping but like I said, It was so worth it! The Game is more that what I expected it. Awesome, really awesome is all I can say. A is my grade!

Not only was this game one of the very few to be rated a perfect 10 by Game Informer Magazine, but it impressed a person who has just played way too many games such as myself. This game has an interesting storyline that keeps you curious throught the game. You get more on the plot only through recordings of previous inhabitants of the city. The game just has an unique way of keeping you on the edge of your seat. It is always dark and gloomy in every room you enter and there are so many sounds all around you. This game is not to be played without surround sound, if you do you won't get the full experience. You hear someone talking somewhere around you then suddenly something jumps in front of you. They don't always give you a warning though, everything is just random. The plasmids add a lot to the game, you can be so creative with every one. You can even get special ammo for each of your weapons and create your own! The "Big Daddys" are very creepy and you hear them stomping about from very far away. They make odd sounds like a dying whale or something of the sort. It all adds up to an amazing game that is worth buying in my book and I'm not easy to impress.

P.S. A sequel is in the making, I wouldn't play it without playing this one first.

I recently bought the game Bioshock and it's in perfect condition. I found nothing wrong with it and I was impressed with the quick shipping. The seller gave me responses letting me know when it was sent so I knew when to expect it. A+++++++

BioShock is a Must for all Xbox 360 Lovers. The graphics are amazing, and coupled with a great sound system this game lends many truly on the edge of your seat moments.

Definitely a must.

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is one of the BEST games I've ever played, EVER! The graphics alone make you forget to breathe. The story line is NUTS! Player controls make all the sense in the world. I became immediately lost in the game. When I looked up, I had been playing for 4 hours, and this was the first time I had spun the disc!!! Definitly a MUST HAVE! I'd almost be willing to bet a body part that you'd like it too, any body part! If you don't have it GET IT! If you don't have the xbox 360 GET IT then GET BIOSHOCK!!! By the way, the're already working on the sequel! I'm getting rigamortis of the midsectionnnn...NOW!

I went to Ebay for this bioshock book for a couple of reasons.
1. It was hard to find in any stores.
2. They usually run over $30.00 and was hoping I could get it cheaper.
3. I love shopping on EBay !
I wasn't disappointed! I paid $25.00 for the item (including shipping) and while it took a little while to recieve, it was worth it. It was in pristine condition. I'm happy with both the item and the seller. I would buy from seller again.

I bought this game because i heard alot of good things about it and it turns out all those good things were true, this is the greatest freaking game ever I recommend anybody buy this game you'll love it, its one of a kind game I played it all the way through and playing again since it has two different endings depending the actions you take in the game.
this is the best game ever...BIOSHOCK ROCKS!!!!

as a mechanic i am in love with the idea of beaing up crazy people with a large red pipe wrench. this game is full of whacked out crazies and you are encouraged by the game to find new and wacky ways to dispatch the crazies sniffing around for "ADAM" in the dark slowly drowning city nder the sea.

shipping speed was okay .. product was as described .. the game worked .. so overall it was a good transaction

well its for my cousin so i know its good i plan to play it too since we are die hard gamers and well i always wanted to play that game

Absolutely amazing game. If you are a fan of FPS mixed with horror mixed with puzzle and strategy, THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU. Its appearance is absolutely beautiful and the game play is smooth. The story of the game is remarkable as well and i have referred to it many times in Economics when talking about what a 100% Capitalistic society would be like. It really is a piece of art.

This game is awsome I now see why it won game of the year. Probably one of the only games that i have played that actually scared me when I played it with the lights off. I would reccomend this game 100% to anyone that likes shotters with a little more depth.

is Irrational's 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 Australia. BioShock is a first-person shooter set in the fantastically unsettling city of Rapture, a metropolis built under the sea by the megalomaniacal Andrew Ryan. Throughout your lengthy stay, you'll find options for combat as intricate and enjoyable as the story and characters are to interpretation, something that only a handful of games can ever claim to offer.

But to call this game simply a first-person shooter, a game that successfully fuses gameplay and narrative, is really doing it a disservice. This game is a beacon. It's one of those monumental experiences you'll never forget, and the benchmark against which games for years to come will, and indeed must, be measured. This isn't merely an evolution of System Shock 2, but a wake-up call to the industry at large. Play this, and you'll see why you should demand something more from publishers and developers, more than all those derivative sequels forced down our throats year after year with only minor tweaks in their formulas. It's a shining example of how it's possible to bring together all elements of game design and succeed to the wildest degree.



Customizing the arsenal.Things kick off with your plane smacking into the ocean and your character having to take refuge in Rapture to survive. Irrational plays on the conventions of the first-person perspective by thrusting you through experiences that toy with and vastly strengthen that fragile, intangible bond between in-game protagonist and yourself. At times, it forces upon you moments of reflection, which is so important and rare in games, where you contemplate the nature of blindly accepted game conventions, which we can't get into for fear of spoiling things. It lays a relatively straight narrative path for you, but it never feels linear, a result of the gameplay as much as the narrative.

The target in BioShock, Andrew Ryan, is anything but a prototypical villain. He's a man of bottomless ambition who built a city under the sea, obsessed with the idea of what makes a man, what differentiates a man from a slave. He's the Randian hero, a man who holds his own creative vision above all else, and he's Rodion Raskolnikov's exceptional person, someone who can be excused for committing crimes to achieve a goal--and he knows it. His vision, Rapture, is clearly a colossal failure. The driving force behind the game is your quest to discover why this man's alluring vision of an artistic utopia failed so completely and why you've stumbled upon it. Even though Ryan spits out what seems to resemble totalitarian propaganda, you can't help but sympathize with him. He has alluring ideas, speaks them with conviction, and comes off as a sympathetic visionary despite his severe eccentricities.

As you continue through Rapture, you'll discover it speaks to the nature of what a single-player game is--why do we choose to play a game that isn't online, where you can't interact with others? Like reading a novel, it's to form your own impressions, to see the same events, hear the same words, and come away with a unique viewpoint. The thematic blending and twining of BioShock's personalities is so powerful, it acts like any good book or movie, assaulting you with its ideas, popping into your thoughts

I was engrossed with this game like I was with Halo CE. A truly immersive and exciting experience to play. Better than Mass Effect and Halo 3 for a campaign by far.

So good I bought a copy even after finishing a friend's copy just so I could have it around in case I needed to play through again, which will be soon.

BTW, so complex, get the manual.

"Doesn't a man have the right to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man in Washington - it belongs to the Government. No, says the man in the Vatican - it belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow - it belongs to everyone. I rejected those answers. I made a choice, and I chose ... Rapture."

Thus opens the dark, political thriller, Bioshock. The game is heavily influenced by such literary masterpieces as 1984, Atlas Shrugged, and Plato's Republic. It follow the storyline of an unnamed man whose plane crashes into the ocean, after which he swims to a lighthouse to take shelter. In the magnificent opening Andrew Ryan delivers his speech on his opinions of government and man's entitlement to the work of his own hands. You await the spleandor of visiting his magnificent city - Rapture - a city with no laws, no government, no restrictions. "A place where the scientist will not be held back by petty morality, and where the artist will not be censored" says Ryan. But, once you arrive in the actual city, it only takes about ten seconds to figure out that something is terribly, drastically wrong.

After watching the person who is suposedly here to rescue you be murdered by a psychotic woman, Atlas, via a radio, directs you out of the sub and into the magnificent - but rather run down - city of rapture. The Art design is this game is sepurb, beyond anything ever witnessed before. From the amazingly realistic water effects, to the rich, enchanting atmosphere, to the dark, moldy walls, painted with insults and warnings in blood, to the psychotic, truly disturbing personalities of your enemies, this game is step and a half beyond anything we've ever experienced before. No, the graphics aren't quite as good as Gears of War, and the world isn't as expansive as Oblivion, but the truly immersive environment and perfectly flawless voice acting more then make up for it. The combat is truly unique, though the game is a bit easy, since duying has minimal penalties.

The storyline also stands out, with a truly incredible twist near the end - so good in fact, it may even rival the ending of The Prestige. The dialogue is strewn with deep, philisophical questions, like "Why do [your enemies] wear masks? Do they remember what they once were and are they ashamed?" "What seperates a man from a slave?" "When everyone is beautiful, is beauty still a virtue?" and many similar ponderies. Most shooters tell us - "just shoot, their the enemy" with no good reason. Bioshock, while it doesn't nessecarily justify it's killing, certainly questions it's morality, and asks you what you believe.

This game is certainly not a light, mindless game for younger immature gamers, and, though I feel their use of intensity to convey their point is justified, it's still way too much for younger kids. Gallons of blood are spilled, sometimes with such weapons as a wrench or a golf club, ocassionally, to emphasize a point characters interlace the f- word into their dialogues. Though not a horror game, moments are startling, and most of the game takes place in semi-darkness to full darkness.

I woudn't recommend this game to children, as it's too much visually and phchologically. But for adults and older teens who want something far more then the average mindless shooter, this is something you will want to experience - probably again and again. 2k Australia has created the same thing that Plato, Ayn Rand, & George Orwell did, only for another generation - A Dark Masterpiece.

I purchased this as a birthday present for my Son in Law. He loved it and says it is one of the best games he has ever played. I like the fact that he thought it was a great present and it was new. He did not know what a great deal I got on it.
