Bioshock was the first FPS I completed. I wasn't comfortable playing them because I couldn't see enemies all around me like I could in a third person game. And I wasn't sure how I would do with this one. I had heard so many good things about it though and it looked really interesting, so eventually, I could no longer resist buying it.
You start off floating in the ocean, surrounded by a ring of fire. You swim over a building (is it a building or a lighthouse? I don't remember) and find a bathysphere down a set of stairs. Once inside, it takes you to the underwater city of Rapture, which is overrun with Splicers who try to steal ADAM from Little Sisters. ADAM is precious because it allows you to purchase plasmids and tonics, which makes surviving in Rapture a lot easier.
You'll want ADAM, too. The only problem is, to get to a Little Sister, you'll first have to defeat a Big Daddy. They're essentially the bosses of the game, even though they don't feel like real bosses. You have the option to then cure the Little Sisters or kill them. The ending you get depends on what you decide to do with them.
The use of different plasmids is what makes Bioshock so much fun to play. There are so many different tactics and possibilities that you could play the game multiple times in different ways and it would never get boring.
The soundtrack is fun, it plays a lot of older songs and really helps set the tone of the game.
For me, the thing that really blew me away was the twist. I never saw it coming, and I have never felt so used by a game before. It really surprised me. In the best possible way. I was so disgusted by it, but I was so pleased that they were able to accomplish a plot twist that wasn't obvious from the beginning.
