BioShock - Gameplay, Graphics and Performance Review

An in-depth look at BioShock for the PC, covering the gameplay differences between Xbox 360 and PC versions, the graphics and performance across a range of different graphics cards at several resolutions under both DX9 and DX10:

BioShock is, quite frankly, one of the best games I’ve played in a long time – the story is awesome and is put together in a way in which everything you do, or hear, is relevant in some way or another. With the risk of spoiling the story for anyone that hasn’t played the game yet, I’m not going to say anymore about the plot. However, I have to say that I do feel sorry for those PC gamers that refuse to install the game because of the copy protection malarkey.. ..those that choose not to are missing out on something that many have described as art - I have to agree with that sentiment.

If there was ever a game that you could put forward as a piece of art then this is certainly it. BioShock is right up there with the all-time gaming greats, even despite its fairly linear gameplay. If you can live with the copy protection ‘problems’ (which will eventually be removed) and have a PC that’s powerful enough to play BioShock, there’s simply no reason not to go out and buy it.
