BioShock Infinite

Welcome to the city of Columbia. Floating amongst the clouds, cruising far above sea level, this is a place unlike any you've ever seen. Please enjoy your voyage...

The third game in the popular Bioshock series, BioShock Infinite breaks away from the underwater setting of the first two games to take players into a floating city held aloft by dirigibles. The game is set in 1912. You play as Booker DeWitt, a disgraced former private detective who's picked up a new case. Your goal is to find Elizabeth, a young woman who's gone missing and return her unharmed. The only problem is that she's being kept on this flying city. Columbia was once a symbol of America's success as a nation, floating around the world as a traveling World's Fair, a marvel of human innovation. But strange things have happened since Columbia's unveiling in 1900, and now the city has disappeared into the clouds. DeWitt knows how to find it, but over the years stories have been told about Columbia having unlawful heavy armament and deranged citizenry. Do not expect this to be a pleasure cruise.

pro

Bioshock Infinite has one of the best openings of any video game made to this day. Experiencing the ride up to Columbia and being able to just walk around for a while and explore parts of the city in your own pace is a great way to kick off this great looking game.

pro

The music fits the game perfectly, and in combination with the amazing scenery you're in for some fantastic experiences on a level that is rare to see in video games.

pro

The game also forces you to make some interesting moral choices that, while not making a huge difference in-game, might have you thinking about them even days after you've finished playing through the story.

pro

No unnecessary tacked on multiplayer that no one will ever play. Instead all the focus went into making Bioshock Infinte a great, polished and memorable single player experience.

pro

Bioshock Infinite has one of the most interesting stories of any video game I've played. It also presents this story in an interesting way through a mixture of exploration, in-game dialogues between the protagonists, and stations with cinematics clips that you can choose to view, or ignore depending on your interest in the background of Columbia.

con

Bioshocks combat system is not its strongest point. It's fine most of the time, but it can sometimes be annoying and disorienting when enemies all of a sudden seem to pop up behind you or keep shooting at you from some place you can't see.

con

Sometimes a hidden enemy is left somewhere in the area. You can hear him, the combat music is still playing and unless you find him and take him out, you're unable to perform certain actions like lock picking doors.
