Welcome to Rapture. A city where opportunity awaits those brave enough to grasp it. A city where the artist need not fear the censor. Where the scientist is not bound by petty morality. Where the great are not held back by the weak.
Set in an alternate 1960, BioShock places you in the middle of an underwater utopia gone badly wrong. With a provocative and intelligent storyline, this is a game that is alternately beautiful, thrilling, funny, frightening and always involving. An experience that makes you think while you play.

Customer Reviews
Great game for basic MacBooks!
I have a white MacBook, nothing fancy. It's hard to find games that will run smoothly on a regular MacBook and I was pleasantly surprised by Bioshock. There is some lagging when the graphics are set to high but overall it runs great with no glitches.
Amazing Experience.
Who know a a first person shooter underwater could be so beautiful, scary, and complex. I loved every minute while playing bioshock, even when I was screaming. The environment of Rapture is simply incredible. Must play.
Disapointing
I normally don't write reviews, but I had to on this one. I downloaded this 8 gb game because of the positive reviews. However, after paying a good amount, the game doesn't work. The game freezes after the second time played during the loading screen after clicking "continue". Furthermore, I know it is not my Macbook Pro's fault as it is fully updated. The entire Macbook Pro becomes unresponsive until I have to force quit Bioshock. Definitely disappointing, and I hope they can come out with an update that addresses this problem.
