BioShock Game Review – It’s More than Just Slicing up Zombies
When we talk about a game like BioShock, we are basically talking about a legacy. A legacy that has been underproduction for years and when it was released, it created an impact that no other game has created yet. Why? One reason is that the game is simply the best combination of all the features one could possibly think of. And, the other reason is that it has proven to us that the gaming world is not just restricted to zombies and automobiles. Yup, BioShock is the very game that combines action, thrill, adventure, fun along with violence and gore! Let’s just put it this way, it is a combination of Resident Evil and Call of Duty and honestly, the combination is better than the real ones.
Anyways, let’s talk about the game itself! The plot of the game is full of suspense and twists so it’s better not to get into the details. After all, the suspense part is the most thrilling one of the game and if we reveal that here, you won’t be anymore interested in playing the game. The game starts in 1960. Your character is an unknown male on a plane over the Atlantic Ocean. As soon as you start the game, your plane crashes in the ocean and the ‘unknown male’ is in the middle of it. Now what? Don’t worry your won’t die yet. This is where the actual game begins. You are in the center of the Atlantic Ocean waiting for help just when you see a thick tall structure. Now, its time to enter this structure ta da! That’s where the suspense and the mystery begin! The entrance of an unknown huge structure engraved with a weird but artistic designed interior with a big bathysphere at the bottom. As soon as you enter this place you get an introduction of the city of Rapture created by Andrew Ryan (a character in the game). Through a taped voice message, Ryan tells you that he is the one who has built this city for scientists to carry out their experiments and innovations without being disturbed by the outside world. Everything is cool until you find blood, dead bodies, trashed levels and other things in a mess. Your character is stranded and shocked right now and it’s clear to him that something has happened here. The story continues from there on…
What You Will Love About The Game
Initially, you will feel like you are playing a childish game with characters that look more like those from the Adams Family, a TV show, but once you are in the flow, you will feel the thrill throughout. BioShock is in its purest form a first person shooter, but there are parts in the game where you will experience adventure and RPG elements. That is the beauty of this game! It leaves no one disappointed. Whether you want to play a horror game, a sci-fi game, an adventure game or a fantasy game, your thirst will be quenched! Throughout the game you will be in Rapture and you will be fighting mutants that were once humans. The good part is that throughout the game you will experience different types of zombies. There are simple naïve looking zombies, some are armed and dangerous crazy zombies and some of them even have special abilities. However, the main creatures of the game are the Little Sisters and Big Daddies.
The Gameplay
What’s extremely good about BioShock is that the game offers a plethora of weapons which are quite fascinating to use. There is actually a lot more about the game that you need to know. The gameplay has a lot of variety and so does the plot, so my advice – play the game if you want to know what it is all about!
