Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: BioShock lets you do the impossible as you explore a mysterious underwater city. When your plane crashes, you discover Rapture - an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. As little girls loot the dead, and biologically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. Now you're trapped, caught in the middle of a genetic war that will challenge both your capacity to survive and your moral allegiance to your own humanity. Make meaningful and mature decisions that culminate in the grand question - do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture to save yourself - or risk all to become their savior? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Say no to DRMBuyer beware - the product description does not describe some important aspects of the game: This game requires an internet activation, so if you have no internet connection you can't play. This game installs SecuROM on your PC - a form of Digital Rights Management (DRM) which is controversial - its like a rootkit and can cause problems with your PC. Also uninstalling the game does not remove SecuROM - it remains on your PC permanently. Rating:  - Awesome action, sound and graphics, but at a cost!This is an incredible game with stunning graphics, sound, and playability. Multiple difficulty levels, ability to save anywhere in the game, a cool story, sets and characters. However, even though my system met or exceeded all the requirements, I could not play the game when I installed it. I had onboard sound and a GeForce 7600 GS, but neither of these could handle the game. I upgraded to a SoundBlaster Xtreme Gamer and a GeForce 7950 GT, and now the game screams; but ... Read More Rating: - Still not buyingI was seriously considering buying Bioshock until I read about the people who recently purchased the game and had problems with their computers. It seems that the company has decided to keep the DRM in the game. Why? The game is not current and I'm sure the sales are not too great. Not a wise decision. Sorry, but I am not going to spend my money on a game that may possibly screw up my new computer. If the powers that be finally got rid of DRM they would get hundreds of people willing to buy ... Read More Rating: - Unable to install due to virusThis game contains a virus called "secuROM" that permanently installs itself into your OS and can disable your drives (as it did mine) and should be avoided at all costs. It's a shame. I played Bioshock on a friends 360 and was blown away. The cool retro 50's look of the underwater city and the music set over the dark and creepy atmosphere made for a great gaming environment. It has an original and thoughtful story and the endless attack combos and multiple endings gives this game a very high replay ... Read More Rating: - Wouldn't load for me, wasted moneyThe game looks cool and I'd love to get it to work, but it WILL NOT LOAD on my hardware. Emails to BIOSHOCK produce nothing, since they say it should run. Emails to Securom blame me for running some program their software doesn't like or say I should change my hardware. I did my own checking and found a number of complaints regarding the Lite-On DVD writer, which I have in my system. Apparently Securom doesn't like my DVD writer. I suppose I could buy a new DVD writer ($30) just to play ... Read More |
