BioShock Ultimate Rapture Edition - Xbox 360

As a casual gamer I look for games that capture my interest by story and game play of course and proudly to say Bioshock delivers! If anyone has played the first already knows its intriguing and genuine art style and for a 2007 game its fantastic. As well as its sequel. I played the first and fell for the awesome display of combat by using magic or (plasmids) as described in the game, and classic weaponry from the 50's, these do NOT disappoint. The story is great adding mystery and a dark tone, because of tragedy of a city in ruins, under water! Overall this is a lot of bang for your buck! Because all the dlc notably for Bioshock 2 is in the package and exclusive PS3 dlc now transfers for Bioshock 1 on the XBOX 360. Its really something worth investing to have a swell time, and if I'd compare these games to others I'd say they are similar to the combat in Fallout 3/NV and as morally intriguing story like any game featuring a protagonist guarding a child, because at times it feels great to be a BIG DADDY. And just witnessing these behemoths is pretty cool. In conclusion I personally rate it 5 stars and the same for Bioshock Infinte, they're all pretty great.

One of the all time great franchises. I hadn't played the original Bioshock in years, and sold my original copy. I'd never played the sequel, so getting both for one low price was a slam dunk. Incredible storyline, creepy atmospherics, lots of fun. All of the bonus content DLC for both games is included, consisting of some extra challenges, and maps, but I wasn't really into anything but the basic campaign. Playing through both of these games got me super stoked for Bioshock Infinite, which I also bought, but that's another (5 star) review...

I'm a big gamer, have been playing since my Nintendo 64 back when I was a little kid. These two games are absolutely amazing, I could go on and on about unique, engaging, and amazing the game play, environment, story lines, characters, and other things are in the games. I'll combine both reviews, since both are very similar. What I loved: - Morality, this is what sets Bioshock apart from other shooters in my opinion, you have a choice when it comes to certain aspects, will you do what benefits your life but is so wrong, or will you be a savior doing what is right, but it makes it harder on you? What you do has big time effects on the whole game, so pick what you stand for. It really makes you think beyond mindlessly blasting away. It is emotionally gripping, heartbreaking, beautiful, and incredibly happy in just one instance. - The environment and the idea of an underwater utopia gone wrong is so freaking unique, I don't know where these people come up with this stuff! The steampunk-esque environment that has really started to fall apart is beautiful, you get a sense of what was, what is, and what is becoming of rapture. - The storyline is......heart breaking, emotionally charged, morally driven, and just incredible. The way it develops, the twists and turns, and the outcomes are incredible. - The gameplay is some of the funnest I've ever experienced. The thought of being able to shoot electricity, flames, insects, tornadoes, ect. out of your hands and they blast off someones head with a shotgun is SO FUN! Also, using an industrial strenght drill to dismember people in 2 is the most fun I've had destroying enemies in any game. It's an absolute blast. - It is very challenging at times, but doable. The most I got stuck on something was in 1 and it was for 2 days, but it is a very doable game on medium, pretty difficult on hard. - The characters, ESPECIALLY in 2, are so easy to love and hate in instances, they are truly memorable. - The music, I don't know what it is about 40s - 60s era music that makes games of this genre work like in Fallout, but it works so well and really adds to the atmosphere. - The atmosphere, all of that combined just makes for an absolutely incredible atmosphere that is addictive and unrelenting until you've beaten the game and found out what happened. What I hated: - Haha got you, nothing was note worthily bad. I give the original a 9.8 out of 10, and Bioshock 2 a 10 and is my new favorite game campaign, it almost had me in tears at time. Bioshock Infinite, here I come!

Played through both games one time. Was extremely curious about the BioShock universe. I think it partly disappointed me because I am playing this in 2013 rather than when it came out in 2008. Back then, it introduced a lot of new concepts and ideas to a first person shooter. Now, with so many games imitating this kind of genre, BioShock 1 and 2 just feels a little outdated. It is still fun because of the nostalgic aspect, but most of the time I felt kind of bored with the shooting mechanics because well...it is simply an old game. Not the game's fault though, I can see how it was so critically acclaimed back in its time.

I love these games so much, and I love that I can get the DLC all in one package now! The first game is already amazing, so, tack on the extra challenges and the museum, and it makes everything so much more fun. Also, the New Game + is another amazing feature which makes for a lot of replay ability! I was never fond of Bioshock 2 as a game, but the DLC (Minerva's Den) really made it a great game for me. It's practically another campaign in and of itself and made me fall in love with Rapture all over again! An amazing buy that no Bioshock fan should pass up!

Bioshock is a solid game, it has an interesting storyline, fun gameplay, and a very satisfying payoff. It's not a short game at all, and takes a lot of time to complete, which is a good thing. Although I would say a con to Bioshock would be the gun system, as I don't find it the best first person shooter ever, but the variety of weapons and attack methods are there. The villains who attack you also become repetitive after a few hours, but that's just part of the game. Bioshock consumes the player and is a must play (although I will say, over-hyped a bit). Bioshock has a rich and deep world you can choose to explore or not, the choice is up to you. Bioshock 2 is really just more of the same of Bioshock, which is why I was kind of disappointed by it. After I finished Bioshock, I was so pumped up from playing it, I immediately decided to jump into Bioshock 2. Big mistake. I was looking for an expansion on the original, but all I got was the exact same thing. Now, I'm not saying it was a bad game, I'm just saying the second Bioshock doesn't really do anything different than the first one. I just expected some difference, other than a story change. Bioshock and Bioshock 2 offer a lot of gameplay time, and lots of fun. Overall, almost no replay value at all, but nevertheless, still a lot of fun. Bioshock is a great game, and Bioshock 2 is good as well, just disappointing as it doesn't build on its predecessor.

I dont usually write reviews.. butI have been wanting to buy the bioshock games for quite a while. Naturally, once I learned of this deal it was a no brainer. A normal Xbox game is $60, so getting one of them for &30 should be an awesome deal. But BOTH of them?! And both awesome games?? Aside from this being a deal that anyone would be foolish to pass on, these games themselves are awesome. They are so unique and they really just draw you in and absorb you. As soon as you take that submarine down into the underworld dystopian world of rapture you will be surrounded by the 40's Art Deco style and music. There is such great attention to detail here-- and the voice acting is phenomenal... Way higher quality than one would expect out of a video game. This review is a little bit premature as I have not even finished the first game as of yet, but the story is awesome and very well developed. There are plenty of twists and things to keep you in. I found myself playing this game for hours at a time. The scary factor of this game is also awesome (try playing in a pitch black room late at night with the sound up!!) Gameplay is fun but very unique and it takes a while to get the hang of. The plasmids are a very cool innovation and the combat is easy to get the hang of if you've played shooters. Things like weapon and plasmid upgrades, buildables, tonics, etc. keep the game fresh and interesting. I personally enjoy digging through every nook and cranny of rapture to make sure I don't miss out on any items! All of this can be wrapped up into saying that these are great games that really revolutionized video games back in 2007 as opposed to simply being evolutionary. There is so much detail put into this game and it will suck you right in to the incredible world of rapture. Go out there and buy this on amazon ASAP!!

I assume for some reason this game wasn't handled very well? Because when i opened up the package, the first thing that happened was.. the discs fell out. So i thought "oh, they just weren't in right". but when i observed the case more carefully, i noticed that the part that holds the disc in place wasn't there! So now every time i open my case the discs fall out. Thanks a lot amazon.

This game is amazing because there's no other game like this the game is set in a dark alternative past set in a underwater city known as RAPTURE were rich and famous live out there final day's and in the game everything is trying to kill you it's very tense and with the addition of the dlc content for both games it's like the cherry on top of the cake everyone should play this game.

El diseño de la caja está genial, el juego increíble y el tiempo de entrega fue antes de lo esperado; muy recomendable

avendo acquistato il 3 capitolo della saga mi mancavano i primi 2.. gioco anche se non segnato nelle caratteristiche e sulla confezione è completamente in italiano. Grazie Amazon e Take-Two Interactive

Es en verdad un placer comprar con Amazon y este producto descontinuado y atencion inmediata y sobre todo el PRECIO!

I love it
