Anyone played Bioshock?


I think this game is right up most Horrorthoner's alleys. I tinkered with it a bit at a friend's, but my lameass computer can't handle the demo I just downloaded. So I'm SOL and wondering why I got a Wii instead of the 360 or PS3.

Here's the wiki for it:

"Set in an alternate history 1960, the game places the player in the role of a plane crash survivor named Jack, who must explore the underwater dystopian city of Rapture, and survive attacks by the mutated beings and mechanical drones that populate it. The game incorporates elements found in role-playing and survival horror games, and is described by the developers and Levine as a "spiritual successor" to their previous titles in the System Shock series.[13][14]
The game received overwhelmingly positive reviews, and ranks as the thirteenth best video game on Game Rankings based on reviews from critics.[15][16] It was particularly well-reviewed in the mainstream press where its "morality-based" storyline, immersive environment and Ayn Rand-inspired dystopic back-story were all singled out for praise.[17] BioShock has been praised for providing "an entirely new tool through which to explore philosophy, psychology, and morality."[18]

Landshark, my video gaming has fallen off precipitously since the second kid, so no.

Are there no good FPS games for Wii?

I upgraded my machine for this and a couple other games. Yes very cool and very atmospheric. Go over to a friends that has an xbox or pc that can run it, it's actually fun to play and watch. Me and a friend did it hot seat through the first half and had a great time over a few beers.

BIOSHOCK WOOO

Its is my recent addiction, its creepy without traumatizing me and giving me nightmares. Its a beautiful and an extremely well rounded game. There are many unexpected twists and the underwater city is so atmospheric it keeps you slightly freaked out the whole time.
Plus you get to take photos of zombies!!!
