BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets
you do things never before possible in the genre: turn everything into a weapon,
biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your
weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques.
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.
- Turn everything into a weapon: the environment, your body, fire and water,
and even your worst enemies. BioShock’s free form combat options allow
gameplay scenarios to 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?
