since Bioshock was released in August it has been garnering high praise from the critics and has already won several awards; but what do the people who are playing the actually think?
One Crowdstorm user, Whisper, explains the appeal of the game:
It\'s primary focus is its story, a sci-fi mystery that manages to feel retro and futuristic at the same time, and its characters, who convey most of the story via radio transmissions and audio logs that you\'re constantly stumbling upon as you wander around. All of it blends together to form a rich, interesting world that sucks you in right away.
It builds an amazing atmosphere by using terrific graphics and sound to set a creepy mood. But BioShock\'s real strengths are as a compelling work of interactive fiction, and as a unique ride through a warped world with some great payoff built into its mysterious plot.
