While entering the sphere, you get yourself into the underwater city of Rapture. Your task here is to get the heck out of there. But this task is not easy to do as you will be communicated with Ryan and two other Rapture citizens, Atlas and Tannenbaum via radio intercom to ask you to join either of their opposing sides. At this stage, you will have to deal with different choices as you fight your way out of this massive battle city. Perhaps, what you get involved in at first may not be appeared as the one you are more likely to deal with at the end. Later, you discover some diary recordings that help give you details about people who lived there, people who responsible for Rapture and the events that led you to the situation where you are in.
Plenty weapons and ammo strewn around Rapture, Plasmids for example, give you spell-like powers. The puzzles help you to solve clues to open certain doors and to get through some hazard or adventurous situation. When you get more Plasmids powers, you can combine them to make your powerful strength. That means you can use Incinerate to light something on fire, and quickly switch it to Teleport to grab it and fling it at an adversary. There are other weapons like Enrage which could turn your enemy into a personal fighting slave, leaving it to help you to combat anything around you to enhance your combat strategy. You may also find useful to use a special machine to combine all sort of ingredients you came across to make special weapons, ammo or other powerful items. Besides the provided ammo used as the guns and Eve hypos to fuel your Plasmid attacks, you can make use of the environment to assist in your offense. That means you can fire Electro Bolt into the pool to take your enemies out in the water.
While fun and challenging to play around, it will take you longer hours to complete the task throughout the game. And the difficulty becomes more obvious with every stage you manage to pass through. Nevertheless, BioShock is certainly a nice game with its vivid sound effects and fantastic visual.
