Imagine a version of BioShock on Oculus Rift that requires you to drop your controller and press a button on the headset to heal yourself or switch a weapon, and you've got the crux of BioShock on iOS' biggest draw and flaw. While having the BioShock experience up close and personal via tablet or phone with slight but not deal-breaking audio-visual concessions is great for immersion, some perplexing touch-screen control decisions bring new frustrations to the forefront.
Whether this is your first trip to Rapture or a return visit after seven years away, BioShock's story and setting remain enthralling. While the textures aren't as detailed or the splicers movement as smooth as they are on a decent PC or the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions (read our 2007 BioShock review), the underwater dystopia is still a sight to behold and a marvel to listen to. Moments like scouring a dilapidated office for supplies with creepy posters adorning the walls while a psychopath has an creepy conversation with himself and a static-tinged 1940s tune plays in the background really cement the almost survival-horror nature of BioShock. If you're playing on an iPad with a decent set of headphones and notifications off, the immersion of the iOS version makes up for a lot, as there's precious little to distract you from Rapture's charms.
