Bioshock Demo

What is Bioshock Demo?

BioShock is a first-person shooter video game by Irrational Games with role-playing game customization and stealth elements, and is similar to System Shock 2. The player takes the role of Jack, who aims to fight his way through Rapture, using weapons and plasmids, in order to complete objectives. BioShock is set during 1960, in the fictional underwater city of Rapture; the player learns of its history through in-game audio recordings scattered throughout the game. BioShock uses a heavily modified Unreal Engine 2.5 with some of the advanced technologies from Unreal Engine 3. The Windows version of BioShock can utilize Direct3D 10 features and content, if the system meets the hardware and software requirements, but it will also run on DirectX 9 without the added effects.
