Bioshock Demo Impressions

There is a demo on XBox Live for Bioshock and I must say it is pretty impressive. I am not a fan of creepy games and this most certainly is one of those types of game. Fist off, the graphics are the best I have seen and worth downloading just for that. The water is amazing looking as you will find out early.

The theme and art in this game is extremely well done. It is very immersing and provides plenty to look at. It sets the tone for the story perfectly. The artists did an amazing job, you really have to see for yourself. The sound and voice acting is top notch as well.

Gameplay wise, it is a FPS, with some added features. You get the ability to shoot lighting and start fires in the demo. The lightning is quite useful with all of the water. You also get a pipe, revolver and machine gun to play around with. Another neat aspect is you can 'hack' or bribe security robots to help you fight. If you are going to 'hack' it, you are entered into a little mini-game to determine success.

I will be buying this even though i do not like creepy games. The quality is just too high to turn down. This should be out in a week or two!
