BioShock is alot like a first person shooter slash adventure game. It gave me that similar feeling Half-Life games did back a few years ago. You know, a FPSer with massive scope. Now, this game is very well developed. The game looks and feels expensive and as if alot of TLC went into it over the course of production. Its so damn unique though. Its an underwater utopia frozen in the 1950s. The reason its still set in the 50s is because all the people went nuts and waged what I guess was some kind of civil war. Its a pretty sweet setting and all the levels are super awesome. Its amazing how well the variety is considering the games set place. Okay, and of course, the combat is pretty standard fare. The guns feel kinda assy, but its not broken, just not very exciting. You get a shotgun and a rocket launcher as well as some nifty chemical thrower, those are going to be the funniest. Overall though its more about this amazing lush world and DAMN is radical. Dude, buy this game. its awesome.
