BioShock is the “genetically enhanced” first person shooter where
you can turn everything into a weapon: the environment, your body, fire
and water, and even your worst enemies.
You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by
civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by
genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, you have
to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful
technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the
same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way.
Features
Biologically mod your body with plasmids: genetic augmentations
that empower you with dozens of fantastic abilities. Send Electrobolts
storming from your fingertips, unleash a swarm of hornets hatched from
the veins of your arms, strategically turn enemies against one another
with irritants.
Take control of your world by hacking devices and systems:
reprogram enemy security bots into personal bodyguards, modify vending
machines to change prices, and transform machine gun security turrets
into powerless pieces of metal.
Upgrade your weapons at Fire-For-Effect stations located through
Rapture. Craft variants of ammo and plasmids by picking up materials in
the city to modify them at U-Invent kiosks.
Experiment with different battle techniques with BioShock’s free
form combat options: gameplay scenarios can be approached with a
variety of weapons, active and passive plasmids, environmental objects
utilization, exploitation of political alliances, or a combination of
techniques. Find your style but know when to adapt.
Explore an incredible and unique art deco world hidden deep under
the ocean, vividly illustrated with realistic water effects and truly
next generation graphics.
Make meaningful and mature decisions that culminate in the grand
question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture to save
yourself…or risk all to become their savior?
