"BioShock's real strengths are as a compelling work of interactive fiction, and as a unique ride through a warped world with some great payoff built into its mysterious plot."
--Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot
|
"By themselves, the solid gunplay, unique plot, and morality-based decisions already make for an excellent game. But it's all of that, plus everything else."
--Andrew Pfister, 1UP
|
"The immense variety of choices you can make coupled with the genuine consequences that follow require numerous play-throughs just so you can see what happens if you try something different."
--Gabe Graziani, GameSpy
|
"BioShock's story is the best we've witnessed on the Xbox 360 to date. The concept, characters and pacing are all leagues above the current competition; the genuinely shocking twists are worthy of a feature film."
--Charlie Barratt, GamesRadar
|
|
"BioShock is one of the few games that actually deserves to be called a "sandbox game," thanks to its diverse genetic powers, weapon modifications, and moral choices."
--Vicious Sid, GamePro
|
"While the game's undeniably a first-person shooter, it's got a great gimmick -- the game offers endless ways to combine powers and weapons to tackle foes."
--Libe Goad, GameDaily
|
"The battles that punctuate your discoveries are a heady mix of fancy powers, weapons with personality, gorgeous locations, and thoroughly believable AI, all interacting with each other in new and surprising ways."
--Tom Chick, Yahoo!Games
|
"I cannot recommend this game enough; in my twenty plus years of gaming I can honestly say this is the kind of title that I dream about playing and I am just glad that I got to experience it."
--ZeroTolerance, ZT Game Domain
|
"The visuals too will constantly amaze, from finely detailed industrial structures to the weapon models, the choices of which areas to light and which to leave in the dark, and plasmid effects."
--Charles Onyett, IGN
|
|
"It’s rare to find a game that has both quality in its engineering and quality in its gameplay. But BioShock is certainly that in a nice package."
--Andy Eddy, Team Xbox
|
"BioShock is all about placing yourself in a wonderful, heavily detailed environment filled with memorable characters, cool enemies, and creepy atmospheres reminiscent of an HP Lovecraft tale."
--Brendon Lindsey, Gamer Node
|
"Simply put, if you're at all curious about the game and you're an Xbox 360 owner, Bioshock is for you. Other than being a bit too short and easy, Bioshock does everything right."
--Atom, Worth Playing
|
"BioShock is easily the most bizarre videogame to appear in some time with plenty of diverse ideas and purely surreal art in the game, Rapture looks like one creepy yet entertaining place to visit."
--Wayne Julian, MS Xbox World
