"Bioshock" anno 2007 showed the original answer and takes the player into an underwater city with the charm of the 50s and 60s. In this former Utopia, in which mankind would one day develop without coercion by politics and the economy, the development of a medical procedure for the genetic improvement brought a decisive turn with it. The population turned against each other and two factions began each other and destroy the desired ideal life on the seabed. After a plane crash the main protagonist discovers a way into this magical underwater city called "Rapture" and is involved in the final phase of the conflict.
Even purely story-wise is revealed the magnificent potential of this surprise hit of last year. Although he has a playful little difference to other 3D shooters, but the unusual and mainly unused ambience makes for a game experience in a class. This is supported by the excellent graphics and the great voice actors, so that you can not find really harsh negative criticisms in all respects. The great atmosphere and the many little gems (such as the optional rescue the "Little Sisters", which is always the background music almost to a biblical moment or the explanation of the processes in Rapture before the arrival of the player using the searchable tapes) also motivate the enormous ongoing game.
Of course, this is the version of the "software pyramid" to cut German edition of the game - but rarely I had with such a feeling that I had not missed a game element, which should make the "uncut" version to something better , Accordingly, this "flaw" in general not significant, because story-wise, there were no disadvantages for the players, just because of the violence level was probably mitigated (unlike games such as "dt Quake 4.", In which you constantly had the feeling something to be missed).
The "software pyramid" has thus once again landed a real coup and just a good year after the release of the game can now every 3D shooter friend reassured the pistol and MP runs clean and embark on the road to 'Rapture' - It is worth it!
PS: For optimum atmospheric experience, it is advisable that game to enjoy the evening or at night).
