BioShock is a first person game released in 2007 for PC and XBox 360, and was developed by 2K Boston/2K Australia, previously known as Irrational Games and published by 2K Games. The game is set in 1960 and takes place in an under water city named Rapture. The game is has no multiplayer mode because the developers wanted to focus on a high quality single player experience. The game is described to be the spiritual successor of the game System Shock 2.
Game Technology
Bioshock uses the Unreal Engine 3 as primary middleware. Originally, Bioshock was planned to use a modified version of the Unreal Engine 2, which is called Vengeance Engine and has been used by Irrational for previous games such as Tribes: Vengeance and SWAT 4, but later they switched to Unreal 3. BioShock utilizes Direct3D 10 functionality when available, but runs perfectly with DirectX 9 as well. For physics, Bioshock uses the Havok Physics engine.
