BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you've never seen. Just ask the judges from E3 2011, where the Irrational Games title won more than 75 editorial awards, including Game Critics Award's Best of Show.

Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with what IGN called "emotional ties (that) will continue to set the bar in gaming."

Sky-Lines: — Using his Sky-Hook, Booker is able to dish out severe hands-on punishment and traverse the city's hook points and Sky-Lines, turning them into weaponized roller coasters.
Tears: — Your traveling companion, Elizabeth, is more than just a pretty face — she has the power to open Tears in time and space.
Vigors: — What would a BioShock game be without a variety of devastating powers surging through your body to be unleashed against all that oppose you?
New Combat Experience: — With deadly weapons in one hand and powerful Vigors in the other, you will fight your way through the floating city of Columbia to freedom.
1999 Mode: — You can unlock a secret version of the game called "1999 Mode" that gives experienced players a taste of the kind of design and balance that hardcore gamers enjoyed back in the 20th century.

Very good story!
I bought Bioshock II a year ago and loved playing it. I've played that campaign many times. I was nervous when I read that Bioshock Infinite wouldn't be set in Rapture, but would be set in the early 1900's. I've loved Rapture's graphical looks and enjoyed campaigning in that environment. I'm glad I bought Infinite! The environment is just as detailed as Rapture . . . and just as unique. My wife, who's not a gamer at all, said that of all the games I play, Infinite is the one she likes watching me play because the maps look so authentic. (Wow!) Without spoiling the plot, I'll just say that some aspects of the game can be combined in so many different ways that you could replay the campaign many times and never play it the same way twice. It's only limited by your creativity. The best part of the game for me is the story line. As you play the campaign, you'll see bits and pieces of Bioshock and Bioshock II. The ending is well worth it and it helps tie together all three games (or does it? You'll have to decide!). Playing this game was like reading a good book you just can't put down! The only two negatives are the lack of a multiplayer mode (which may be a positive for some gamers) and the fact that the hard mode isn't much of a challenge for an experienced fps gamer (I play Battlefield 3, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and Call of Duty II Modern Warfare). I chose "hard" on my first play through and it seemed more like normal to me. The most challenging difficulty is "1999 mode", which you unlock after winning the campaign once (any difficulty, I think). "1999 mode" is REALLY challenging, so you'll have to play through once on a lower difficulty so you can unlock the better difficulty. Overall, there were no audio or video glitches during playthrough and the game didn't lag despite the heavy graphics load during combat (explosions, etc.) on xbox 360. Like Bioshock II, the game auto saves frequently so you don't have to worry about saving all the time. It takes about 10 - 12 hours to finish the campaign because, after all, it is Bioshock so you have to search everywhere on the map for money and other things you'll need, which takes time.

Great
I haven't had a chance to play it a lot, but the first two Bioshocks were some of my all time favorite games. I'm sure this one will be the same. It is nice to be outside, instead of underground, so that is a good difference. This game also allows you to interact with many more things than before. There are real people and many mini games inside the carnival in the first level.

Another great Bioshock game
I loved the first Bioshock. There was nothing like it at the time. I think that comes into play with this review. Infinite has all the things the original had. An excellent story with an amazing detailed atmosphere. The environment seems almost on the opposite end of the spectrum from previous Bioshocks. It also has the same combative formula. Stiff upgradable gun play mixed with various powers. These powers were called plasmids and are now called vigors in Inifinite. Some of these vigors seem recycled or just simply not that fun to use. I find myself using possession and devil's kiss all the time. It also seems a bit graphically outdated although, I believe, the atmosphere and detail more that make up for that. Please don't let that deter you from trying this game. Its great. It just would have been one-of-a-kind if the first Bioshock didn't already exist
