Apr 12, 2013fantastic game. I loved the diverse vigors and weapons/ammos that you can use throughout the game. Big Daddies, perhaps my favorite reoccurring enemies to ever fight in video gaming history. The tonics and vending machines kept the game fresh where you can experiment on how you want to play the game. One of the top 5 video games I've ever played thus far.

Oct 25, 2012This was a game that i've tried really hard not to like but deep down he was calling me like a siren and i ended up not resisting his charm. Bioshock is all about the environment, it's all about Rapture. The underwater city is the main character. Once you enter in that mini-sub you are automatically drawed in and Rapture becomes your reality. Amazing.

Nov 28, 2012As i affirmed in the PC version review, this is one of my favorite game ever because of the choices, interactivity and long range of weapons and plasmids. The story narrated by audio logs were fantastic and it was one of the best gaming experiences i ever add.

Apr 23, 2013Bioshock is an awesome game with a great story, great graphics, great characters and a great atmostphere!! I can't wait to see where Irrational is gonna take this series next!
-
Jun 1, 2013Amazing, stunning, a masterpiece... Words can´t describe what i just experienced. An engaging story, new and fresh gameplay and choices that will hunt me in my dreams... Bioshock is perfect.
-
Apr 10, 2013There is no other game that is like this. Every game that has come out since this I compare to BioShock. It has gotten to a point where my girlfriend and I point out places in games and movies ad TV shows parts and things that happen that are "very BioShock". I really don't know another way to describe it other than it is as perfect as any video game could be.
-
Apr 12, 2013This is a brilliant game, from the story, to the graphics, to the weapons, to the vigors, to the enemies. Everything is fresh and doesn't feel like a generic fps shooter

Jul 20, 2016One of the best games of all times! Wonderful story! Wonderful characters! Great music! Immersive atmosphere. Every time I play it, it gets better and better.
-
Aug 8, 2013Not a bad game, but now and again the atmosphere felt a bit borrowed from Fall out 3, but obviously the gameplay is more linear. The Action and the story were both good, I just felt it lacked something, but I can't put my finger on what it is.

Dec 15, 2013Simply fantastic. Only just come to this game years after it was originally released but its still fantastic. Kind of reminds me of half life in that respect. Epic story, fantastical location, simply amazing.

Feb 20, 2014I think that this videogame has done history. Its amazing and I love it. The characters are so funny, for example, Little Sisters and Big Daddy . Purchase this game
-
Mar 27, 2014THE BEST GAME OF 2007, seriously, the part of the game it's the story, and the characters too, this game deserves a place in your collection , seriously.
-
Apr 10, 2014This is by far one of the greatest achievements in gaming history. I actually prefer the original bioshock over infinite mainly because the setting and atmosphere appeal to me personally. This is one of the only shooters I have ever played that can hold its own against the gaming powerhouse that is half-life 2 and that should speak for itself.

Sep 23, 2014A phenomenal and unique adventure, rich with atmosphere. The story may drop away in the final third but this is still a riveting tale with a wonderful twist (providing it doesn't get spoiled for you beforehand). The slightly cartoon graphics, akin to say TimeSplitters & dark humour only add to the experience.

Jul 30, 2015Fantastic game. Great story, great visuals for the time, and gameplay is awesome. I had a great time playing it, but after I was done I watched videos of other people playing it, setting up awesome traps and combos with the plasmids and weapons. I kinda realized I was playing the entire game wrong, but that it was still awesome and fun.

Jun 23, 2017Gameplay that is fun with a story that is just as engaging. I found myself hooked on BioShock through exploring the beautiful environment of Rapture and discovering the backstories of those who lived there. A must-play for any gamer.

May 22, 2018Una obra de arte , la historia de rapture, sobre las little sisters y los big daddys lo ame por completo , recomendable al 100%
-
May 14, 2020The atmosphere is one of the most powerful part of Bioshock. When you went to Rapture, you can feel curiosity and also fear. Minimap was very bad. Weapons, plasmids and tonics are good. With plot twist, great characters, story was quite impressive but "audio tapes" thing screw me.
Bioshock one of the greatest FPS game of this generation. If you didn't play it, you should play it. -

Jun 16, 2019Unos de los mejores FPS de la historia. Posee una ambientación brutal en una ciudad sumergida y una gran historia con mucha critica social ademas de un buen puñado de acción.

Jun 21, 2020A narrative masterpiece that inroduces gamers to one of the coolest gaming locations ever - Rapture. A must-play experience that suffers from meh gameplay and weird difficulty spikes.

Sep 25, 2019Summary: Going beyond "run and gun corridors," "monster-closet AIs" and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea.… Expand

Nov 10, 2022Por primera vez (o segunda) el mundo de los videojuegos chocó frente a frente con la industria del cine. Las sensaciones, la historia, los personajes... todo. Creo que el único juego que se equipara a esto que digo fue Metal Gear Solid en su día. Audiovisualmente, posiblemente sean las dos mejores obras de arte de la historia del videojuego.

Sep 23, 2021A pure art that was the begining of a great triology, the philosophy the antagonisit has, the dystopian world design and it’s creatures

Aug 16, 2022The best FPS game of all time. The world is breathtaking how did they even come up with the idea? Rapture is just one of those places that you won't forget for the rest of your life. I can't describe how much I love this game the atmosphere, the soundtrack, the characters. Bioshock is without a doubt one of the best games I played. Bioshock is a must-play one of the best ever made.

Dec 4, 2022This game was one of the only games I was scared to progress through when I first played. The environment and enemy types were a combined scare. I didn’t know what I was in for and my mind filled in terrible blanks. Then I got a weapons and powers. Now my experience is badass fun being interrupted by amazing themes and story.

Dec 7, 2022A true gem of a game and a must play for PS3 owners. Great atmosphere/story, solid combat, overall a great experience!

Jul 13, 2023An amazing game with a story that hooks you right from the beginning and the start of an amazing trilogy.

Jul 7, 2023+ Atmosphere is unrivalled in any video game ever
+ Imagining and creative design of Rapture is pure dystopian perfection
+ Story, writing, subtext and character dialogue all tell a compelling, utterly memorable narrative
+ Gameplay balancing FPS mechanics with RPG elements is intoxicating fun
+ Sound design adds layers to an already incredible game -
Jul 14, 2023A generic shooter with a mediocre story. The only reason I'm rating it so high is because it does have decent atmosphere. Only buy if it's very cheap on sale or free.
