Bioshock on Xbox 360 (2007)

sheeps go 'bleet'

sharpize from Macmerry , 27/08/2007

I've only played the demo myself but a friend of mine who has the game concurs...

10/10 xbox mag, 95% pc mag, 5 out of 5 - reviewers on this site. What's so good about it? Well, it is very very pretty. I spent a good long while just swimming in the intro bit just looking at the water and the flames and watching the plane go down.

But ofcourse, one has to get on with the game and that's where it all started going wrong. You see, this is what happens when a games dev sets up a team dedicated to making water look good and sets up nothing for a story. Because there isn't one. You don't understand what you're doing and you won't know why. Nothing makes sense either. Everyone is killing each other because they've used the drugs so what's the first thing you start doing in the game... you guessed it, you start injecting.

There is no interaction with scenery, no dialogue, no path options. You basically follow a set route of death and destruction from point A (the beginning) to point B (the end). Its Half Life, 60 years ago, underwater, except in Half Life you could atleast explore.

So what's new. Well nothing, except how you kill. Everything I wanted from this game is missing, including online play. This game will be flooding the 'preowned' bins in weeks, if not earlier. The check box after this comment is a joke 'Contains spoiler?'. It doesn't even have a point, let alone a story... let alone a surprise ending.

"Oh No"

John Turton from Sheffield , 06/09/2007

Oh No....... another FPS (first person shooter) only, well this one ain't half bad, well for the graphics anyway.

It trys to be something its not (A Good Game) fair enough the graphics are outstanding and the water effects are second to none but game play-wise its just another FPS trying to set its self apart from the rest but only it doesn't. You get the jist from the other reviews of what its about so i wont bore you with the same old same old. So my advice is if you want a really good FPS go for Rainbow Six Vegas the thought and planning you have to do as a gamer in that far out weighs this rubbish and if your in to online gaming Rainbow Six will give you many many many sleepless night's 'seriously im supprised my wife ain't left me because of that thing'.

Rubbish

EvilTaku from Rotherham , 24/06/2008

this game is ment 2 be amazing. well it aint. the graphics r great but the game play really takes it out of ya. such a frustrating game. i played it for about 2 levels and got really bored. all the side tasks r repetative and holds no variation. my m8 bought a copy not long ago even after i told him not 2 and its pain ful 2 watch him play. i strongly feel this game shud be taken off the shelfs.

A truly outstanding game!!

Chris Hoskins from Devon, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 11/11/2008

This is a game every next gen console owner should play, it just has to be experienced what ever the platform!!! on the PC clever,challenging thought provoking games like this are common place but on the consoles theres next to none and all that there is are PC ports so its good to see a game like this which has all the platforms in mind to begin with, this is one of the best games i've played on the 360 and i'm glad to hear its being developed into a franchise so there will be more of this greatness to come. it's hard to pinpoint exactly what makes this soo great but its helped along buy its gorgeous graphics superb sound and voice acting, perfect atmosphere and tension, satisfying enjoyable and challenging gameplay with great writting and a fantastic storyline. all round gaming perfection!!

Amazing!

A customer from Tenby , 09/06/2008

This is a very good game with a very good storyline. You can explore lots of areas on the game and uncover lots of cool stuff. Took me a long time to complete the game and I didn't even explore! There is so much stuff to do. You won't get bored of it! Definately worth renting or even buying!
