BioShock is available only for XBOX360 and PC and will be available at stores in North America on August 21, 2007 and in Europe beginning August 24, 2007.
BioShock is a first-person shooter that lets players do things never
before possible in the genre. Nearly everything in the game can be
turned into a weapon; players can biologically modify their bodies with
plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade weapons and craft new ammo
variants, and experiment with different battle techniques.
Players
enter the game as a castaway in Rapture, an underwater utopia torn
apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by
genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, players
have to come to grips with a dangerous and mysterious world filled with
powerful technology and fascinating characters. With multiple avenues
for surmounting challenges on both a moral and tactical level, no
encounter ever plays out the same and no two gamers will play BioShock
the same way.
