One-Line Review
Simply one of the BEST games for the 360 to date

Review
Alot of you might Remember My DEMO Review and You might be thinking, what the heck, you said it wasnt that good. Well, let me firmly say that the DEMO was nothing at all, compared to this beauty of a game. I mean, this is pure awesomeness. I now know why everybody was saying it was so good. This is one of those games which actually justifies its 10/10 rating. You play Jack (The Last name is a spoiler) whos plane crashes in the middle on the Oceon, hasitiating you swim to the nearest building and then you enter Rapture. The Story after that unfolds into a beautiful little Package and you can play this game for Days on end and not complete it. This is THE BEST game so far on the xbox 360 to date! Dont believe me, how about this : Your in a small corridor with a Heavily-Armed monster who looks like a Deep-Sea Diver with a "little Sister" behind him, you desperately need to Save/Kill the "Little Sister", so do you fight it or let it leave? So after a pulse-pounding battle your left with yet another Game-changing choice, Kill or Save the "little sister"? You have to make this decision a few times in the game in your desperate struggle for survival. It Even has the word Content Download on the back of the Case

Score
8/10 (It gets my own little seal of approval)

If your wondering, no, im not back ,im just on my friends computer for today



I hope you find this review helpful, and if you think its biased/ unfair in anyway or think im talking a whole lotta poo, or if you even agree with me/ have your own view on this, you can either post it in this thread or leave me a private message, if in anyway i have caused money-loss (you bought the game and think its really bad) I apolligize, but I try to make my reviews as true as possible and that shouldn't happen. Also, if you are reading this fine print you must either really like this game or are really bored or even you want to find something bad to do with this thread

Yea I would rank this up there with Halo and Gears. I am really enjoying this game. Very unique approach and art. I have to fully agree that this is a great buy for 360.

I wasnt wondering ifyou were back :lol: :trout:

Having played the demo I thought that the game looked beautiful. Stunning water effects, fantastic graphics and a great art style. However the gameplay left me a bit cold. The plasmids are a nice idea but I felt that the fighting mechanics were rather limited. You just electrocute, bash, and repeat. I'm probably going to rent this game at some stage to try out some of the other plasmids and try to get into the story, but I won't be buying it for now.

Having said all of that, I'm a massive shooter fan who thinks Halo is rubbish so I must just be a weirdo.

I did n't buy BioShock but rented it instead. I liked it. Made me feel dizzy sick a bit but I got used to it. Was able to beat it fairly quick. Scored about 650 so gamerscore from it before I had to take it back.

I think it was hyped a bit but its still a decent game. The ending left me feeling WTF, very short.

I'm saving my money for Halo, Mass Effect and Army of 2.

You just electrocute, bash, and repeat. Soon enough the Splicers get used to that so you have to try new ways like setting a load of killer hornets after you enemies, setting fake "yous" around. And your wrench quickly becomes useless when you have a custom-Shotgun that shoot explosives out of it!

Oh and i thought you Fans of BioShock might not know this:
Before BioShock, there were two Games called System Shock and System Shock 2. I dont know much of the two but I do know that both System Shocks were made by Irrational Games, which changed their name to 2K Boston / Austrailia prior to the realese of BioShock with BioShock known as the "Spirital Predessor" or something on those lines. System Shock 2 has been awarded Game of the Year and is name one of the top 20 PC games ever on the planet (by IGN).

The heck is Morrowind?

It was the Elder Scrolls game before Oblivion.

I've never been much of an RPG fan, but both of those games consumed hundreds of hours I will never get back.

I loved those games so much, but would never recommend them to a friend they are so engrossing.

I think it was also open ended, meaning it never ends right?
