The video game Bioshock is remarkable in many ways, one of which is the way it is a commentary on the video game medium itself, similar to how Watchmen is a commentary on comic books.



 Bioshock is also notable for putting the player in the role of the character Jack and using cutscenes that allow the player to retain control of Jack. This allows for a level of immersion not present in an FMV cutscene, characters look directly at the camera, giving the illusion they are talking directly to the player.

The cutscenes featured are often signified by a change in contrast on the screen and a glowing phantom would appear in front of the player, showing the player an aspect of Rapture's (the city the game takes place in) past.
