[PC]Bioshock

[J.Stash]

The first thing you will notice about Bioshock (in DX10 mode anyway), is how delicious the graphics are. The first time I decended into the bathysphere and headed underwater to the entrance point my jaw just dropped, the graphics are simply awesome. The water and fire effects in the game are incredibly realistic and just look damn fantastic. My only complaint in this department is that the blood effects are a little crappy (as in the blood spray when you hit an enemy, the blood pools enemies create on the floor when they bleed out are actually pretty realistic). The water reflection and refraction effects are also awesome

As for the gameplay... All that I can say is that Bioshock is like no other shooter you will play, the plasmids and slight role playing elements make it a truly unique FPS, and the enemies are amusing, as they are spliced up and totally insane, and some of their behaviour is amusing, however their gung-ho attitude to fights make the game a trifle more difficult than your average shooter.

The other thing you will notice is that the Environments are incredibly expansive and cleverly designed, in fact it is easy to spend hours just wandering through them looking for things, and they really help to suck you into the story, as the added environmental realism makes you feel like you are really there in a ruined and deserted underwater story, and the audiotapes you pick up along the way do a good job of helping you learn the story of Rapture as you go along, giving you a bit more insight into the background story than some other games.

Finally, the storyline of the game is also very clever and intricately woven together, and it creates an extremely compelling environment that adds to the immersive nature of the game.

Pros:

• Fantastic Graphics
• Cleverly Designed and expansive Environments
• Compelling Storyline
• Great characters
• Game engine supports SMP which enables it to scale brilliantly to multi-core CPUs
• There are multiple ways of solving most challenges meaning the game has good replay value

Cons:

• Bioshock uses Deferred lighting which unfortunately means that AntiAliasing cannot be used in-game when you run in DX10 mode
• The Viat-Chamber save system does not appear to have been very well designed, if you die you are not respawned with full health
• Due to the size of the environments and the complexity of some challenges in the game, playing the game can be a touch daunting to people not overly familiar with FPS games
• The game has no official support for Shader Model 2.0 Graphics Cards

AAA game when it comes to story, gameplay and final execution! A great spiritual successor to the still-awesome System Shock serie. I still believe the first installment to be the best of the series (The first few scenes are simply unforgettable.), but I must admin Infinite came pretty close for me.
