BioShock

I had to go all the way to Toys R Us for this game, but it was well worth the trip. BioShock was scheduled for a August 21 release date; however, the game is exclusively available at Toys R Us until next week. The company that developed the game (2K Games) did not approve of this, but who the hell really cares? It is good for business because Toys R Us and 2k Games get some free publicity. Now onto the spoiler free review. BioShock occurs in an underwater world called Rapture. The name of the protagonist is not given; he is known throughout the game as the narrator. A bevy of scientific experiments were transpiring in Rapture, and some were unknown to many people. This is where the player enters the picture. You travel there to examine Rapture, but you are immersed in a perverse atmosphere. The game has an exemplary storyline that is rare in the first person genre. The visuals and audio are excellent. Graphically, BioShock looks sensational and holds up nicely without any frame rate glitches. Players will hear the eerie sounds of little girls as they hide. Footsteps are heard loud and clear when various enemies approach you. The most engrossing aspect of BioShock has to be the gameplay. Within an instant, the narrator can launch what appears to be an endless swarm of bees at his opponents. He can also utilize lighting to put him in more advantageous positions. For instance, hurls lightening at enemies while they are in water with damage nearby adversaries. When all else fails, you can always use a gun. The perfect blend of expending magic and bullets is an intriguing balance. BioShock is a fairly simple game because there is not much of a challenge, but do not let that deter you from playing it. I have not been this terrified playing a game since the original Resident Evil. Everything about the game, oozes bloodcurdling. From the suspenseful music to the creepy foes, BioShock will give even the amateur gamers nightmares. It was so frightening that I could not bear to play BioShock in the dark; furthermore, I defy anyone to play BioShock at night.

It is very often agreed by numerous video game critics and gamers together that Bioshock is one of the greatest First Person Shooters developed in the past decade. It holds a mean critic score of 96% at Metacritic.com, and some forums even describe the title as a work of art. Bioshock’s storyline is in various ways based on and electrified by the bestselling novel “Atlas Shrugged”, and centres round the geopolitical events occurring in an undersea Atlantis-like town called Rapture.

In a deviation from the first title, the Bioshock 2 game will put gamers responsible for the slow and steady lumbering Big Daddy. As players of the first game will know, Rapture was produced with the idea of creating a culture freed from capitalistic govt rules and spiritual moralities, but of course, it all went significantly awry. As Bioshock hero Jack found changed and mutated and revolting monsters called Splicers were at large in the area, rambling and killing at will. These mutations were fundamentally all that was remaining of the populace.

Throughout the Bioshock 2 game, Big Daddy has the unenviable charge of re-entering to Rapture, investigating a chain of kidnappings. It seems that the multitude of Little Sisters that succeeded in making it to the surface in the first game are being robbed away and returned to the depths of Rapture, and it’s down to Big Daddy to put things right.

The Bioshock 2 game follows the basics and idiosyncrasies of the original, with some prominent changes on the story. Graphical improvements are also there, with the game functioning a lot more smoothlysmoother, permitting for a perfect display of visuals. This adds to the feeling of a great game, and developers 2K have done it with style.

Naturally being in charge of a robot does allow varied gaming advantages, he is in a position to mix a multitude of guns and drills in one hand, whilst utilizing the arcane ‘plasmid’ with the other hand. Plasmid is employed to make fire, electricity and also to control objects using telekinesis. The abilities are augmented throughout the game and levelled up as you continue.

Much skill and care has been applied in the Bioshock 2 game. There are some updated areas in Rapture, it’s now feasible to explore the sea bed and investigate the systems around the bubble of the metropolis. One draw back with the first was that the array of monsters was limited and repetitive, and this has been nicely fixed in the sequel with a variety of interesting new mutants. Look out for Big Sister, who tracks your quest and will attempt to disrupt you at various junctures. 2K Games are hoping for a release this Fall, and for many fans of the first, the Bioshock 2 game is being released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows platforms and cannot arrive soon enough for fans of Bioshock.
