BioShock (Platinum) reviews

There's been lots written about this game and with good cause. It is simply brilliant. Stunning visual quality, rich, detailed, smooth running with a soundtrack in keeping with the high quality production. Gameplay is easy to master with lots of helpful tips and hints if you want them. Spend time marvelling at the detail. The water effects are the best I've seen, and so they should be given this game is set under the ocean.

This is an awsome game , amazing storyline and great game play too . You can play through the game in many different ways and will have to make some decisions as well . Can't go wrong with this game . Superb .

If you never experienced the halls of Rapture and have been waiting for its appearance on the PS3, there really is no discussion to be had. Go out and get your hands on BioShock – you will thoroughly enjoy exploring the incredible story and the excellent action that the game is known for.

I bought this game about 2 weeks ago off Mighty Ape, OMG I loved it so much. Not only does this game hold the power of a first person shooter; but it mixes in a fantasy aspect to give the game a great spin.

Bioshock will keen you in suspense until the very last part where it takes a great spin and you will be like “OMG”. 9/10 awesome game.

‘Would you kindly’ buy this title an try it out, well worth it

I'd like to add a couple of comments to my first review now that I've completed the game. Please note I've tried to avoid spoilers but may give away some features of the game in this additional review. As the protagonist you are lured into the ever evolving story of Rapture. If you are a novice or are put off by games with lots of control features don't be concerned with Bioshock. You are given ample oportunity to master the features of the game, however featuress such as hacking the robot sentries or various machines can be circumvented by buying the hack if you've got enough money. I completed the game with out actually hacking once. So if you like the challenge hack away or if you're lazy like me buy everything out. I still finished with a full wallet. This is a very complex game made very user friendly. Even the real nasties the “Big Daddys” can be eaily dealt with through a combination of electro shock treatment and exploding buck shot. You can use genetic mddifications (plasmids) or conventional weapons or both. You also have the oportunity to be bad or good. I played the game the first time as a good guy and got such a warm fuzzy at the end it brought a tear to my eye, (almost). The thing most noteably absent is the frustration that
plagues many other games. (see the irritating button mashing sequences in Resi 4). The designers have created a game that allows experienced gamers a rewarding experience while letting the novice have a hell of a lot of fun. If I have to make any criticism it would be that, in my opinion, it would benefit from carry over features such as may be seen in “Resistance of Man” when replays unlock alternative alien weapons. This game is a corner stone not only in first person shooters but all action games in general. It is the first time I've actually exclaimed out loud on completion "Damn that was good) Bring on Bioshock 2!

Best game ive played on the 360 and ps3

if you into a good offline FPS, an adventure game or a brilliant story to enjoy, or all of the above, Bioshock really delivers. As the story progresses you get closer to it, especially because the story reflects your personality too (the game has a demand to the players' morality).

I actually played when I borrowed it from my friend, but the miss the game after buying n playing Bioshock 2, so Im deciding to buy the first one and play it again ^^

It is good im enjoying it and its worth getting you own copy of it

Love this game, Hard to put down:o)

A quick delivery of this game. Good service Mighty Ape! :)

Had played Bioshock 2 before buying this, and wow it's even better! A gaming masterpiece

I loved the quick delivery, and am very pleased with the game. Keep up the good work!

This game is great with elements of horror/survival added to an fps rpg create a great blend of styles in a capturing story

This has 2 be the best first person shooter I've ever played,the graphics and story line are supreme. I would recommend this game to any new player as i'm sure any others would to.10/10.

Very well done to the makers

Have this game on PC and the PS3 version didnt let me down. This is just as good as the PC version, it was the same game but way more fun for some reason. Looking forward to the 2nd game coming out. Its still gets me with scares and is loads of hours of fun. Its a great buy.

Just playing this at the moment, having somehow never owned or hired before......
Even in late 2009 it is something a little bit special – and can play in the creamy delish of 1080p :)

I agree that, like many classics, these titles can intimidate and then as soon as it starts and you are underway (after about a five minute loading screen – eh!?) it's the ol' “Oh right, of course, it is actually awesome – should have known”…

Great controls, depth etc… although I find the hint system irresistable, when some may not like using it, but will find not doing so pretty mind-bending… so that's my only caveat – if it is even one to begin with as I like the hints personally…

I am only a small way through too – but suspect the ‘twist’ has already been telegraphed… so I may be wrong there, but treat the twist as a 16 and under thing, lol!! Personally, I don't trust the guy on the communication speakers… and I am not killing the girls. We'll see how that plays out at the end :)

5/5 / 9.7/10
