I wouldn't say it was 'fun' as such but it is a great game!. I'm not usually a fan of mindless shooting\fighting\survival horror type games (sorry people but Halo etc just doesnt float my boat') but this is different. Ok it does involve a whole load of shooting people with various weapons but it also has a very deep story line. I think it was the story that got me hooked - i liked the whole ruined city under the sea idea. I also found the people in the game creepy...not creepy like the zombies in Resident Evil but creepy because they were more human like. The story unfolds at a decent pace as you find audio recordings, video clips and diary type entries along your way. Slowly you start to understand your place in the story.
Visually i loved the city! with its strange posters and overgrown sections. The fact the whole place is stuck on New Years eve just adds to the atmosphere.
There is a lot of killing to be done - whether it be the HUGE Big Daddies (they noise they make goes right though me!) or the strange residents. As well as good ole guns, knifes etc you also have these 'Plasmids' which give you a special power like shooting fire or ice. This makes things more interesting.
I've not finished the game yet but intent to play though to the end just to see what happens!.

Fun!. I don't know why but it took me until a couple of weeks ago to buy this. For less than 15£ from a seller on here, Bioshock is easily the best buy for my Xbox360. And i'd argue its the best game of the console altogether.
The game starts with you floating in the middle of the atlantic ocean, watching the tail end of a plane sink to the depths. Immediately you want to know what this is all about. You swim to a conveniently-near lighthouse, and inside is a bathysphere, the door to an underworld city called Rapture. From there on you find yourself in a horrific world, where you have to do fight with equally horrific creatures, and put your trust in one of the few sane people remaining, and in ADAM - a mutagen, giving you powerful abilities such as telekinises and freeze.
The story is brilliant, you'd struggle to find one better. Throughout the game you learn about what Rapture is, who Andrew Ryan is, and why everything has gone very wrong. You then have to make your own choice which affects the difficulty of the game, and the ending. Again this is about the ADAM. Eventually you learn the truth about how you found Rapture, or how it found you.
I just expected a FPS with a decent story, but its so much more than your typical FPS. The fact that you never see the face or hear the voice of the sole playable character didn't bother me at all, and maybe its because that person is you, especially given that your choices affect Jack and what he becomes at the end. Along with MGS4 i consider this to be my best experience on either console. But in terms of gameplay and great fun, this has to be #1 for me. I could play this for hours, i don't think i've ever been as disappointed for a game to end as i did here. But having spent so little in comparison to CoD4, MGS4, GTA4 and all the other big name titles, i am extremely satisfied with Bioshock.

Engages your head, but not your heart. Rapture (Bioshock's underwater city for mankind's elite) is a brilliantly conceived and constructed edifice of hideousness, full of ego and pomposity. The levels of detail throughout Bioshock are astounding, every corner of the game (and it is VAST) is littered with believeable items and details which I have never seen before, and most of which can be interacted with in some way. From the flooded, eerily lit basements to the trashed luxurious apartments of Rapture's founding fathers (and mothers), it is Rapture itself which is the true star of Bioshock and is the reason I would recommend anyone to buy this game. Its the best, most consistent game world that I think I have ever seen.
As for the action, I'm sad to say that this is Bioshock's weakpoint. While there are many ways to kill those around you, you very rarely find any real satisfaction in doing so. The Splicers are repetitive and infuriating, often 'appearing' from no where. There random maniacal screams and shouts soon get tiresome and you are likely to hunt them down just to shut them up as much as anything else. The guns feel soft and useless, especially in later levels when the Splicers become harder - for no other reason than the fact that you are more powerful, so for them not to be so would make the game too easy. There are only 4 different types of splicer (Thuggish, Leadhead, Spider and Nitro), two types of Big Daddy, and the guns and various turrets to contend with, a limitation which ends up leaving the game feeling rather flat and laboured when you are struggling through the same old enemies time after time.
The story is sometimes hard to follow, especially when you're receving a vital voice over in the middle of a firefight! I suggest putting on the subtitles if you want to really understand the story. Its sometimes true that you hear a part of the story get played out (always via radio transmissions or recordings) and have an objective as a result that you simply cannot link to what you've just heard, which is annoying. However, again the depth of the story is to be applauded, as it truly makes you examine your motives and morals, even though you have no choice but to continue on the path the game sets you. The only 'moral' choice you have is in whether to harvest or heal the young girls which provide you with Adam.
My version of the game was full of bugs in places, and I know my friend experienced similar. It sometimes slows down, even where it is not due to too much action on screen, and on occasion the 'physics' engine goes haywire. My friend at one point lost all his guns and powers but found he was invincible - but he couldn't jump! The only way to solve it was to reset the 360!
The finale .... well i won't say too much other than it also left me rather disappointed.
Verdict: Bioshock is an incredible example of design and dedication to detail taken to its highest degree in gaming - Rapture is incredible in every way and is a credit to 2K Australia. The rest of the game is compelling and addictive, but can sometimes be very drawn out and dull. It will eat up hours of your life as you search every room for clues and items, but don't expect it to be the most action packed game or adrenalin rush you've ever played. Call of Duty 4 it is not!

Brilliant Game. This is a short to the point review, brilliant game, Story, graphics, upgrades of which there are loads! just got a bit sick of doing the hacks and the movement of the player is a bit slow for my liking! minor nags to a near perfect game!
