Bioshock is a FPS game that uses RPG elements to give you choice throughout the game, with a immersive story to bring everything together. Starting off in a plane wreck, you find yourself in a underwater palace guided by Atlas, a predominent figure in the city of Rapture. The game introduces you to many of its different areas throughout the city, all of which are run down and packed with the one time citizens, now considered 'splicers' for their overusage of plasmids whch led them to turn evil. These splicers will be you oponent although unlike many FPS games, they are not just acting against you, but it is apparant that they are protecting the city they call home from outsiders.

One of the best feaures of Bioshock are the big daddies, there are several varieties of them and killing one is not routine, but more of a chore (not in a bad sense) Big Daddies protect little sisters that roam the halls of rapture in search of Adam, the currency the plasmids.

Rapture, the city of Bioshock, does not seem like a dreampt up world, but more like a true paradise gone wrong. Although the world is not done perfectly, most of it is believeable and all of it is able to be explored.

Bioshock looks great, runs great, and most importantly feels great with a story that wants to be told, you just need the patience to listen.
