==Gameplay== BioShock is a first-person shooter with aspects of [[survival horror]] and [[RPG]] games. The player collects weapons, health packs, and Plasmids which give him special powers such as telekinesis or electro-shock, while fighting off the deranged population of the underwater city of Rapture. Plasmids also allows the player to manipulate the AI and use the environment in combat. Rapture is an underwater utopia created after World War II. The player can use stealth to slip by security cameras and foes, and has the ability to hack into security stations to turn automated drones to his side. The resources in the game are ADAM, EVE, and Money. ADAM is a genetic material used for character growth, EVE allows the use of Active Plasmids. EVE is similar to Mana in an RPG game. Money, in the form of U.S. Dollars, allows the player to purchase weapons, upgrades, and ammunition, as well as 'buying off' security bots and turrets. The player is also able customize his abilities as well as his weapons through the use of Plasmids. These plasmids are grouped under Weaponry, Engineering, Active, and Physical trees. There are also plasmids that gives the player abilities to enhance himself by making him stealth or move faster, and these are referred to as Tonics. The plasmid powers also have the ability to interact with the environment. For example ''Incinerate'' can set enemies on fire and will send them running to water to put it out, ''ElectroBolt'' shocks all enemy who are in the same pool of water, and ''Telekinesis'' can pick up any objects not nailed to the ground and allows the player to catch and throw back grenades. Players can customize weapons by: having bigger magazines, augmenting fire-power, and using different kinds of ammunition. If the player dies or quits the game in BioShock he will respawn at the nearest ''Vita Chamber'' once the game is loaded. ===Features=== * The player is able to manipulate and exploit the [[AI]] * Interactive environment * Biologically modify your body with plasmids and tonics, which can be used for a strategical advantage, such as summoning bees to attack enemies, or to send bolts of electricity shooting through your hand. * Upgrade and change your weapons and ammunition
