OK remember when we had The Legend of Zelda: The Oracle of Time, and you thought to yourself "wow this game is awsome?" Well since then some games have lacked a good story line, good moves, and good control of everything around you. Bioshock takes things to new levels and hieghts making everything that much more ballin'. While on the surface it might look like little more than a very pretty first-person shooter, BioShock is much, much more than that. Sure, the action is fine, but its primary focus is its story, a sci-fi mystery that manages to feel retro and futuristic at the same time, and its characters, who convey most of the story via radio transmissions and audio logs that you're constantly stumbling upon as you wander around. All of it blends together to form a rich, interesting world that sucks you in right away and won't let go until you've figured out what, exactly, is going on in the undersea city of Rapture. Ok the Goods and the Bads.
The Good:
Absolutely amazing atmosphere and visual design with the technical prowess to back it all up,
Lots of character customization options to play around with,
Great voice cast really sells the storyline
The Bad:
Annoying hitches cause the game to freeze for a few seconds at a time, but it only seems to start happening after playing the game for several hours,
Lack of death penalty keeps things fun, but also keeps things a little too easy.
That's the Smackdown on this game I'll keep you updated on different games giving you the goods and bads of it, so be on the look out for more games on the XtremeGamingZone.
