Synopsis

Imagine flying high above the arctic seas, anxiously awaiting your flight's final descent to dry land. Suddenly, without warning, the plane plummets to the cold and unforgiving water at unimaginable speed. Once the aircraft makes contact, you realize that falling from the skies is only the beginning of this nightmare. Wrenched into Rapture, a doomed city beneath the sea, you come across a rusted bathysphere. There, you learn that this once-idealistic society, the brainchild of a hopeful group of scientists, artists and industrialists, now has corpses littering the city limits. Wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as evil little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens attempt to ambush you at every turn. Will you be one of the lucky ones to escape this underwater agony alive?

Going beyond run-and-gun corridors, monster-clad artificial intelligence and static worlds, Bioshock presents a unique and unpredictable first-person shooter experience in real time. In order to survive an onslaught of assailants, it's imperative that you take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, capturing security towers and crafting items to protect yourself. Upgrade your weapons and genetically modify your body to evade the grotesque ghouls who are after you. Make meaningful choices and mature decisions to ultimately answer the question: Should you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture or save them?
