Bioshock "was showered in advance with many laurels, as the first screenshots and videos have surfaced and in time for the release is rolled on television with real cool spots the big drum, how it currently hardly in another game (apart from the many Nintendo Wii -Spots) gets to see, but it is also worth JAAAA !!!! The game is -.? to put it in one word -. a hammer The scenario and the design are unique and were so far in any first-person shooter to see. You really feel when crossing the neighborhoods back in time and meet there the wonderful decor of the terrible impressions that one gets to see, each other. People, including many children, are dead on the ground and twitching slightly in front of him out bloodstains running along the ground, with blood sets are written on the walls. No, the game is certainly not for children !! On top of the gloomy lighting, the class soundscape (incl. many old songs - due at the time - one such as Beyond the Sea "), which gets very good German voice-overs and the gritty action, which combine to create an atmospheric whole, the unequaled Besides the usual weapons such as shotgun and crossbow. by plasmids are injected to special abilities. For the approximately hurl lightning to burn for example be located in water opponents or throwing fire. These are of course primarily to enemy defenses, but also for smaller puzzles needed if you about a defective door switch electrocuted must enable or freed via fire an iced door from ice Plasmids necessary you can buy from vending machines -.. but not for the euro, but for Adam and this one gets from little girls, the so-called Little SISTERN These run.. by Rapture and are looking corpses to suck the Adam from these ". Unfortunately, procuring the Adams of them is not so easy, a child to take away as a lollipop. Because the Little Sisters are protected by the Big Daddies. And these are anything but easy to crack, especially at the beginning of a real challenge. If one has however managed to then one is faced with a difficult choice: Will you cannibalize the girl and kill in order to get to a lot of Adam? Or you can save it, but it needs to do without a part of? Either way, however, is only on the battle with the Big Daddy. And to be able to pass this, (as well as against other opponents) can not only be equipped with plasmids, but also to buy life energy, ammunition and other useful utensils to different machines. To save money, you can hack these machines and completed while a (in my opinion pretty cool) minigame where you have to replace disks as soon as possible to allow a current flow - sounds possibly complicated, but it is (apart from the hustle and bustle not). Of course, the goods still cost money - and this can be found in corpses in boxes or drawers. And as we'll get to the next cool gimmick of the game: You can see the surroundings in every corner in search ends and is sure - even rewarded - in stark contrast to some other game. Everywhere you can find ammunition and all kinds of useful things that would have been a (when a mission runs strictly point to another) otherwise denied. Driven by you is a very interesting back story, which (these can be found in the environment as well) and the radio announcements will be driven by audio diaries. Because even though you fight alone through Rapture, you is not: Always one has a resident named Atlas in the ear, which gives an advice to survive and tells you what you have to do next. He asks one to look after his family, who is imprisoned in a diving capsule and in return offers his help. This course is directed against the high and mighty Andrew Ryan, why this also often has its say and wants to prevent the player's actions. The story white throughout the game even with some surprising twists to excite, so the action is far more unusual and profound than in many other games.
However, there are some things in the game that did not like me: In the chopping minigame it happens that you can not win this, because by defective plates no route to your destination is (regardless of the way) possible - of course annoying. Luckily you but just have the game to repeat (the same machine), and the arrangement of the plates changes again. Furthermore, the speech really excellent (particularly the voices of Atlas and Ryan are very well done), but the voices and sayings of the opponents repeat very often, which is why they characterized the individuality is lost. Particularly striking is approximately the synchronous work of Kai Taschner, among other things, the moderator in the quiz you do not know jack 2-4 "or the killer in Scream" - set to music films. Nothing against him, but so slowly I hear this voice a little too often, especially when many of the opponents get in this game his. I also find that the game towards the end seems a bit protracted. And is what I will probably never get used in a game that the inventory is very limited. That you can only absorb a certain amount of ammunition is still to get over, but why this is also true for utensils for crafting new items, the first aid kits and especially the money ?! Often I bought unnecessarily "something from the machine, only because I could not hold more cash. But this is a peculiarity which is unfortunately normal for games.
Bioshock is an audiovisual masterpiece - it can not change a lot of the above-mentioned negative trifles. The technology is good and the atmosphere excellent, the action exciting and gloomy ambience exemplary. It does not make the mistake like other shooters and builds again quiet moments without opponents advent in order to turn on the voltage curve. In addition, it is home to some of the most memorable scenes in video game history that you will not easily forget (in a good way). And despite the violence these acts never exaggerated dramatically since this underlines the dark atmosphere rather than in a splatter orgy ends. A 1a game that you should not miss as Xbox 360 owners missed!
PS: And a few sentences about the versions: The game is available in three versions: in a regular DVD Cover, in Steelbook and in a fairly send Collector's Box with Big Daddy figurine. Furthermore, there is a cut (that's this one) and an uncut version. Fortunately, the sections of the German version are probably not as much as in the case The Darkness ", where the atmosphere is suffering but noticeably. Nevertheless, I advise players to grip the uncut version.
