BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the
expectations for the FPS. Going beyond “run and gun corridors,” “monster-closet
AIs” and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS
experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.
After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted
bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed
as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and
industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses,
wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and
genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.
- Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering
security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.
- Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them
to the enemy and environment.
- Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered
throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque
abilities.
- Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have
interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your
gameplay experience.
- Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn
art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever
developed in a video game.
- Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the
grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture…or save them?
