Bioshock for the Xbox 360 was very, very highly rated, but it does not rank as high as Grand Theft Auto in my book. There are no penalties for dying, therefore one keeps returning to the last "vita-chamber" check point. This allows you to keep returning to the enemy and clubbing it with a wrench (ref: zeropunctuation). It was still worth the price, though (versus The Simpson's for the Wii; now THAT was a rip-off!)
It is more than a video game, it is a life experience

This game, unlike any other that I have ever played, is completely addicting. Everything about it is amazing. I enjoy playing it as much as I love watching the story progress.
Nice graphics

Well, Is not a bad game, but I wouldn't call it the best, call of duty 4 or gear of war are more of my election! i had great expectatives and it kind of disappoint me.... Well, the graphics are great, the game is bloody enough and kind of scare u (in a fun cool way) but the gameplay isn't that good, the enemies and the scenarios are pretty similar, the enemies aren't that cool, the guns aren't good neither, the powers i can't complain...
Great single player

In some games like Gears of War they leave you with a great ending with leaving a lot of stuff in the air during game play, in Bioshock not only is the ending great but the whole game's storyline was just as good as the end. When I first got Bioshock I was afraid to open it because I read many of the reviews and saw how addicting it was. When you start playing it your immediately drawn into the game. So it was like 2 hours later that I actually noticed the clock when I first started playing it. Not only that but the story was great. Bioshock is one of the game's that actually had me kinda pshcyed out while playing because you didn't know what to expect at times, even the second time around I still felt the same way. I was kind of scared when I looked at the weapons at first but after awhile none of that mattered it actually worked great once I realized it. The graphics are second to none and so is the game.
Best Single Player Game for the 360

If you are looking for a great single player game, this is it. I have spent hours playing it and have yet to get bored; it never seems to end. I only wish it had a co-op mode, but thats asking a lot for a game like this.
One of the best!

now, some of you may be thinking, is this game worth the money? well, yes. this is the best game i have ever played. and yes, i really do mean it. the story is really new, something that hasnt been done before, and its awesome. the gameplay is smooth and fun, and gets a little wierd/kreepy at some points, which just adds to the overall awesomeness. this is with out a doubt the best $60 buy of my life. id slap anyone who choses any game over bioshock.
Bioshock is not just a FPS

I bought this game for my son who mostly plays FRP games and isn't so much into the FPS genre (that's for Dad ;^) He absolutely loved it. From the look and atmosphere of the game to the intricate story he said it truly lived up to the hype of being one of those games that only comes along once-in-awhile.
One of the BEST games ever made

Pros
-Amazing graphics. Everything about this game is so alive, from flickering lights, enemies popping out of places, great sound effects, etc.
-Very innovative story and gameplay. Game takes place in an underwater world were everyone is mutated, there is also a great twist to the story in toward the end of the game. Fighting combines a variety of special powers (lighting, fire, swarms of wasps, the list goes on), and many different choices of standard guns.
-A lot of hours of playtime compared to most shooters. (takes about 15 hours to complete)
Cons
- Only 1 gameplay mode, and its only single player which in turn hurts re-playability. However, this game is so much fun you will probably want to beat it again at a later time. (Coop or versus mode would be nice, but at the same time is not required for such a game)
Verdict
Graphics perfect, gameplay perfect, such a great/scary story. Only sad part is the game ends at one point in time and all you can think about is when will they release the next bioshock.
