 Bioshock is one of those games which showed that games can also be a form of art. The 60's style of game is superbly designed. The choice between morality and immorality in the game will leave the player pondering about their decisions.

Story - The game has got great story with a great plot twist in between. The way the story is narrated itself is amazing within the environment instead of using cut scenes. Although said the game has 3 endings, two of them are pretty similar. May be if our gene research progresses enough, we might also descend into a chaos like Rapture did.

Game play - Simple amazing. There are a different type of weapons to use like a normal fps shooter and there are plasmids to add the extra benefit. The plasmids truly changes the way the game is played. Enemy AI is also pretty good and they way they react to different plasmids is very fun to watch.

Graphics - Superb. One can truly believe the city is built around in 40's. It has got the old art deco style. Character animations are smooth. Environment is gorgeous with all different types - lush green, industrial and tunnel like. Plasmid effects are great fun to watch.

Big Daddies - Big Daddies make Bioshock. As loyal guardians for little sisters these guys make the game what it is. There are two types of them - Rosie and Bouncer and each with their own style of attacking. Making plans to kill these guys can be huge fun.

Overall Bioshock is a great game to play if you are a fan of shooters. Great story can attract people that don't like fps. Perfect pacing with little creeps thrown at times, Bioshock is a must play.
