Gaming BioShock Gameplay Review

http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2007/08/21/bioshock_gameplay_review/1

BioShock; examined, dissected and documented in all of its glory. We've split the coverage of this industry-defining game into two pieces and here's the first instalment for Xbox 360 and PC.

 

One thing the price on your shopping comparison site for the 360 version at £26.95 from Blah is actually for the PC version, 360 version is £35.95

 

As expected then, the full 10.

Nice review and it remained relatively spoiler free, though those who haven't played the demo because they are waiting for the full release may still be a little disappointed that some stuff has been revealed.

 

having played the demo, i totally agree with your review.

it's simply amazing. deserve the 10/10 score.

 

The demo touches on very little of the actual story... it's merely the training level that allows you to get accustomed to the control system and whatnot. There's so much more to the story than what's in the demo and there's so much that we haven't talked about here - we just hope we've said enough to persuade people to buy this game.

 

I've just been informed this is the perfect time for the release! I get to play on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday! Bank holidays are awesome!

 

Adam & Eve and Rapture, which is the name given to the event in which Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven.

Rather coincidental ain't it?

Pre-loaded game, can't wait.

 

It's a bathysphere by the way.

 

how hard is it to find your way? is it like doom3 where you keep running in circles in same looking rooms all over trying to find that one door to be able to progress further?
or is it possible to actually find the way you have to take by other means than luck?


other than that... excellent review of a very promissing game...

 

I'd buy the game if I could run it well.

 

A bit of both to be honest, sometimes you do find yourself wandering around looking for the next...uh... objective shall we say, but it's never as frustrating as the "Where the f*** is the yellow key" moments Doom provided

EDIT:

Personal Top 5 Games Before Bioshock:

Half Life
Half Life 2
Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Thief: Deadly Shadows

Now:

Half Life
Half Life 2
Bioshock
Deus Ex
System Shock 2

 

Thanks for, I'll get it corrected now.

 

Very well written review Joe, I didn't think I could get any more excited but you managed it.

 

Bet you look like your avatar right now.

Including hat.

 

Want to buy a coffin?

 

Nah, I bought a bulk load last week,

 

What's really amusing about this game is that you see more vertically with a 4:3 aspect screen/res than you do at 16:10 or 16:9...

Anyway... after all the hype, I find my reaction (which puts me in the serious minority, I am sure) to be a somewhat lethargic, "Meh," to this game. Which is a pity, as I was looking forward to it.

 

kekeke ,

HL2 ? ;F i'm not counting this as a game, more like a tech-demo.

Deus Ex 1
HL 1
System Shock 2
Bioshock
Quake 1

these are now my fav. for FPS games , but NOT in that order , they are all equal to me.

 

I think this is better than HL2 in so many ways, but everyone has their own opinion.

 

Cool review, for some reason I think we all expected a 10 from Joe. I cant wait for the game and hope HMV ship early.

Im not working overtime saturay so I can play Bioshock for 3 days solid
