'Words cannot justify what I have experienced, for I have seen Rapture in all it's glory ' - Me, after seeing the credits roll

I have long been yearning to play a game that this insane combination of an intricate and complex story with a compelling narrative and real word choices that affect the game and it's world. Not only is the story good but the gameplay is so addictive with a sharp learning curve and a ton of abilities.
Bioshock has the most organic and lived in world I have ever seen in a game. Why I took this long to play this gem is beyond me but I am glad I did. Let me take y'all on this journey to Rapture ^_^

There is a plane crash and you are one of the few survivors who stumble upon a doorway to an underwater city called Rapture. From the opening moments of you going underwater in the sub, to seeing the city come to life before you and to the dread of seeing a splicer for the very first time. That sense of dread and awe and the constant mix and match of these emotions is what bioshock is all about. The story is filled with a certain suspense and thrill to what all of this is, why it is happening and what has put you in the middle of it. Bioshock is one of those few games that genuinely surprises you with how the story evolves, as the story moves forward you see characters develop, change and morph into something else you never thought them to be. The true nature of Bioshock is left for the player to discover for it is one that they shape constantly.

Music adds a sense of realism and dread that elevate even the most random strolls in the streets of rapture. The gameplay mechanics are super fun with a ton of abilities in the form of plasmids that give you super human powers such as fire, electricity, ice and even telekinesis. Combine that with some basic but fun gunplay bioshock has some of the most satisfying combat for a first person shooter. It would be a disservice to call it that 'FPS' for it is so much more. Every single location is thought out, different in asthetic and unique in it's offerings. The mood of the story telling is conveyed through locations and it is one of the very rare games that pull it off. Big daddys and little sisters are a stand out mechanic and every time you face one the weight ferocity of one makes you tremble with fear. With a variety of guns to choose from and a constant upgrade to your current abilities bioshock does a fantastic job of keeping the combat familiar but interesting with it's fleshed out enemy types. The true beauty of rapture is in what it sets out to convey a solid, engaging and breathtaking RPG.

Final Verdict: Thank you to each and everyone who created this masterpiece. The sheer sense of satisfaction and enjoyment I had when I saw the credits roll has been something that has been sorely lacking for quite sometime now. My quest to find a good RPG with amazing gameplay and a mind blowing story has finally come to an end. Rapture is here ^_^
