Description

BioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you. Injectable plasmids give you super human powers: blast electrical currents into water to electrocute multiple enemies, or freeze them solid and obliterate them with the swing of a wrench.
No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way.

  • Biologically modify your body: send fire storming from your fingertips and unleash a swarm of killer hornets hatched from the veins in your arms.
  • Hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants.
  • Turn everything into a weapon: the environment, your body, fire and water, and even your worst enemies.
  • Explore an incredible and unique art deco world hidden deep under the ocean.

Superb. As good as I remember from when it was first released. Everything holds up well, from the story to the gameplay. The graphics are still good, even 20 years on. Get it, you won't regret it.

Been playing games since '78. i didn't play these when they came out, and thank god. These games definitely don't deserve their reputation, as they've all run poorly. This game crashes a lot, and every time it does it

This is a good game. I'm not overly fond of it, but I can understand why this series has a cult following. I'd compare this to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It isn't going to be everyone's favorite, but it is such a

This is most definitely one of the best shooters I’ve ever played. The gameplay is mostly focused on strategy using your slowly growing arsenal of weapons and superpowers. After playing it, I can see where most mascot
