Get your BioShock demo

News | August 12, 2007 10:36 pm
After the Spike TV premiere of the BioShock trailer, 2K and Microsoft released the demo onto Xbox Live Marketplace. Reports are that the demo is about an hour long, but it will take almost as long to get to your 360's hard drive. It checks in at a whopping 1.35GB. Check out the full demo details as posted by Major Nelson:


Demo: BioShock
Content: BioShock Demo
Price: Free
Availability: Not available in Japan
Dash Text: Welcome to Rapture with the official demo to BioShock, the genetically enhanced first person shooter. BioShock is a shooter unlike any youve ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. Youll have an arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to rocket launchers and flame throwers, but youll also be forced to genetically alter your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon you. Injectable Plasmids give you ungodly powers: blast electrical currents into water to electrocute multiple enemies, freeze them solid and obliterate them with the swing of a wrench, or create a swarm of attack hornets from your own mutated flesh. BioShock is that rare game in which Brainpower is as valuable as Firepower. Youll need plenty of both to get out alive.
Size: 1.35 GB (approx.)

Ok I am playing the demo now and this game is everything I hoped for. It has definitely won my purchase. The graphics and gameplay are by far the best among the 360. The story is compelling. I love the water effects, too good in my opinion!

I have to post again to stress how good this game actually is. Im really, really blown away, and the demo was really short. With the customization with plasmids and invention and whatnot, it seems like you could play through this game literally 10 times and it would not be the same, ever. No two players will experience the same thing. This is by far the most unscripted, real time game I have ever played. I will be buying this on tuesday for sure and the sad thing was, I was unsure of this prior to playing the demo. Usually demos NEVER do a retail game justice, but sheesh, this game is awesome! It took me from 10pm to 3am to fully download the demo and now I can see why.

If halo 3 would be a 2008 release, bioshock would be a blowout GOTY.

With the amount of hype that Halo 3 has (pretty hard to live up to it), it could possibly get scooped by a BioShock or CoD 4 come end of the year award time....

ROFL...i just lost respect for you. CoD4 will be good, but ITS HALO 3. The game will easily sell 2 or 3 million THE FIRST DAY. You have to be in a cloud of smoke to say something that ignorant.
