After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.

Features:

  • Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.
  • Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.
  • Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.
  • Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.
  • Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.
  • Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?

Its a good game, but not as much variation in gameplay as they lead you to believe. But still a good game. If they never release a editor I hope someone manages to create one :P

As far as system reqs, I meet min system specs. ( Little over in some spots, little under in others, but for the most part, min system specs ) I can run with highest settings surprisingly. However I do not have windows vista, but besides that, everything is on max settings. It runs just fine, maybe once during the whole game it lagged, for a short time. Sometimes my comp took a few seconds to fully load the textures though so things looked a bit odd at first...

Despite of the "Bioshock editor" picture that most of us have seen in the game files, the official word from 2k (2K Elizabeth in the official 2k forums) is

This game is a great example of how a game should be done...

This was exactly what i expected...a excellent title all i can say is WOW!.

Looks great...runs great...DX10 is not the big thingie but it does improve Smoke, shadows and water Effects with no FPS cost :).

I have tested this game on many pcs...with many specs...and OMG...it runs so well...

8800 gts 320mb + X2 4200 + 2gbs ram = GREAT FPS, NO SLOWDOWS, ALL ON HIGH WITH DX10 and 1680*1050.
8600 GT + P4 3.0 + 2 gb ram = GOOD FPS, NO SLOWDOWS, ALL ON HIGH DX10 WITH 1280*1024
7600 GT + P4 3.0 + 1gb ram = GOOD FPS, Some hickups (20 fps) ALL ON HIGH DX9 WITH 1024*768

The game runs really well on Mid range machines and fucking great on high end, and can still be played with decent FPS on low end machines.

I wish more games were like this :D!

If u havent played this...then you must!.

Now i wish someone start makings mods of this game :D.

ok, first things first, I have to run it on low settings, cant even crack 800x600 with a decent frame rate. Have 2Gb ram and 128mb vid card. So thats the down side. For reference I get good frame rate and good specs from HL2 and BF2142, and fantastic action from UT2004. If these struggle on your PC dont bother until you upgrade or get the 360 version.

BUT... apart from that the game is fantastic, the "world" is complex, the sound design brilliant and the look and feel of the whole thing is just wonderful. The weapons are original (the Plasmids anyway) and the puzzles just right.

The 'actors' are a little wooden and certainly dont have the rag doll feel of HL2, but this could be my frame rate, I dont know.

hope you enjoy, I am only chapter 2 into it and it is becoming more and more involving and you become part of the world.
