What’s great about it is that it is Bioshock. It’s the same game but shrunk down to fit on a phone and given touch controls (MFi controller support is also available, of course).
Which is great and all, but how does it hold up on iOS? Well, it’s probably about what you’d expect. After that it’s genetic modification and the horrors of a society that’s cannibalized itself beyond recognition as far as the eye can see. You play the part of an unlucky soul named Jack who just sort of ended up in Rapture after a plane crash in the middle of the ocean, which happened to deposit him right by one of the city’s surface entrances. A city where people could do as they please without the threat of governments or religions (or morals) getting in their way - and he named it Rapture. Seeing as it’s been seven years there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with Bioshock, but the basic idea is that Andrew Ryan, a man with a twisted ideology and lots of money, decided to build his own underwater city. Now that we can, I have to say it’s rather cool.
Nobody could have expected that one day, seven years later, we’d be able to explore Andrew Ryan’s failed utopia on our phones. My point is that when Bioshock first started impressing the heck out of players and critics alike, smartphone tech was still in its infancy. Alright fine, it had an express ticket on the Hype Train.
Only a couple of months after the very first iPhone became available, Bioshock was let loose on an unsuspecting public.
