Immediately into Bioshock a few references came to my mind first was the classic RPG Fallout which seems to be an inspiration of sorts concerning the time retro-classic feeling of the world and it’s off beat humour. Like System Shock 2, Bioshock should be classified as a Science Fiction, Survival horror shooter, a genre that Irrational Games can proudly proclaim as their yard. It’s not a surprise given Irrational Games past efforts which include the very similar and equally impressive hit System Shock 2 which I had the pleasure of completing back in 1999. Bioshock also takes the time to give the player a great deal of depth in the worlds history, more than enough scenery to keep your eyes active and a health dose of interesting aspects which blend together role playing with the fast action of shooter. The pacing isn’t as fast as a shooter like Serious Sam, but given its deliverance and quality, Bioshock gives more to the player then expected. The action turns up to ten early on in the game and it really doesn’t let down for more than a few seconds. In Rapture it’s up to your character to escape from its death grip with the aid of one of its inhabitants you’ll twist and turn in the cities many corridors uncovering the secrets of the city while dealing with the twisted inhabitants that walk the halls. It showcases what good level design and environment attention can do for a game, it definitely helps shape the quality of a game which in basics is similar to ones we’ve seen and played before. ![]() Rapture is a well built idea and it’s executed flawlessly. The world of Rapture feels alive which helps keep the suspense high and the game fresh. Of course this setting wouldn’t be good enough Irrational Games has turned the city into a ghost town, filled with genetic evolution, deranged altered freaks and enough blood and sadistic situations to make the movie Saw look like a day at the beach. Rapture is a hidden city created and fashioned into an idealistic society who wanted freedom from the restrictions of the modern society at the time to create a more advanced civilization. It's then when you're only chance for real survival is to swim into the man made world called Rapture. The story starts after a plane your boarding crash lands in uncharted waters. It’s time to play with madness in the underwater world of Rapture.īioshock wastes no time pushing the player into their unique retro fitted world, rich with dynamic atmosphere. This task shouldn’t be too hard for 2K because Bioshock lives up to the hype and surpasses the high expectations that have been building for months. 2K Games launches their big daddy across the globe this week searching for Xbox 360 gamers to harvest.
