For me Bioshock was a very mediocre game. I definitely appreciate it as a piece of art but I would not say I would willingly play the sequels.  I did not enjoy most of the beginning of the game because I felt like I was doing a bunch of pointless work and I just wanted to get to the parts that were more important to the story.  This is probably because I am a fan of when games like this have more cut scenes and are movie like.  At the same time throughout most of this beginning part of the game all the way to the end I thought that visually it was amazing because of how beautiful the scenery is which is due to the fact that Andrew Ryan, the creator of this underwater city Rapture I was in,  valued art a lot when creating this “utopia” which eventually faces a massive downfall.  On the other side of its visuals the creators of the game did a great job of showing Rapture’s downfall through the grusom enemies you are faced to fight and all of the objects being obviously dated.  Even though I felt that the beginning and middle of the game was dragged out, there were two main elements that were crucial to the story’s plot, fighting the big daddys to get the little sisters and the tapes.  The big daddys were the hardest enemy to fight but using the turrets and finding new weapons and abilities made it easier as the game went on.  As for the little sisters I decided to save all of them because I knew it would have paid off in the long run and it definitely did.  As for the tapes they were important because it allowed me to figure out what was going on.  After I played most of the game I finally got to see Andrew Ryan and before killing him I was surprised to find out what exactly was going on and that I was actually being controlled the whole time it was then revealed to me that Atlas the person I was following orders from the whole time actually was Fontaine who was using me to defeat Andrew Ryan the whole time.  Not only was he controlling me, he genetically engineered me from a 1 year old to a 19 year old and caused the crash that brought me to Rapture in the first place.  After this with the help from the little sisters I was able to almost turn into a big daddy and fight Fontaine myself.  I was able to weaken Fontaine by taking the adam out of him but he still came close to defeating me, right before I was almost killed the little sisters came to the rescue and sucked the rest of the adam out of him.  At this point Fontaine was defeated and the game shows that me and the little sisters go off to live a normal happy life in the free world.  The question that this game left me asking myself was what if I didn’t spare the little sisters and decided to harvest their adam for myself?  This is exactly how this game shows that looking out for others is always the right choice in the end.
