About BioShock
BioShock is a shooter set in an art deco world hidden deep beneath the ocean. You fight with conventional weapons and genetically modify your body with injectable plasmids, which grant powers such as firing electrical currents into water or freezing enemies solid.
Weapons and abilities
You have an arsenal ranging from revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers. Plasmids can let you send fire from your fingertips or unleash killer hornets from your arms. You can also hack devices and systems, upgrade weapons and craft new ammunition variants. The environment, your body, fire, water and even your enemies can all become weapons, and encounters can play out differently depending on how you use them.
Art and extras
The game takes place in an art deco world beneath the ocean. BioShock: Breaking the Mold is a free download that offers an inside look at the game's art.
