Exhaustive Guide for Totally Clearing Bioshock - By: C. Verspeak, 03 Feb 2008
For a first-time player of Bioshock, I generally wouldn't recommend a game guide like this. For me, the game is about exploration - you are supposed to be lost & find your way around. but Bioshock is not just another FPS. As well as being incredibly well done - involving story, beautiful scenery, challenging monsters, etc, it has a great depth, augmented really by the Xbox Achievements system. Thus while you can play through some games once & get to do pretty much all you could want to (Halo 3, I'm looking at you) it is quite possible to go play through Bioshock & miss quite a bit, including an alternate ending.

some of the achievements are actually quite challenging - 'access every single tonicin the game' or 'listen to every audio diary' for examples pretty much require you to see 100% of the game's content. And doing that would be pretty challenging without a guide like this.

The guide is as in-depth as Bioshock itself (no pun intended) & tells you where absolutely every tonic, plasmid, vendor & U-Invent is. It uses the same style of map as the game itself, but improved of course by showing you all the hidden stuff. There is a walkthrough for every level as well which, if you follow it, will allow you to collect every available piece of gear too.

So, if you're looking for a perfect 100 gamerpoints, I highly recommend this guide.
