Summary: Splendid action and adventure hybrid
Review: This game is truly brilliant, I love the storyline behind it, some games like Hitman 2 (which is still super fun) have a very weak storyline that is promising in the beginning yet sort of drags on with missions and no idea whats going on in the story). This game makes you think things through before you do them, for instance....In one mission you are forced to break into a prison cell and rescue another officer, you can either deactivate the laser alarms with a multitool or find a back way in. I only had 2 multitools and it required 2 to disarm the laser, I didnt know if id need another later on in the level so I was forced to find a backway through, after a couple patient attempts, i managed to get through and rescue him without squandering any resources, which gives a very rewarding feeling of accomplishment. This game is very fun and with so many twists and turns youll play it through a couple more times to see different ways the story can go.

Summary: Question
Review: I just purchased a new computer and was interested in buying this game. Can anyone tell me if it will run on Windows XP. The system requirements suggest that it be used with Windows 95, 98, and ME...does this mean that XP cannot be used to play this game?

Summary: An Immersive Subliminaly View Altering Game
Review: First I want to start off by saying that the game is a free ended immersive experience. Choices that you make come back later on to you in the game. You can take numerous approaches to any problem. All in All, it allows you to do watever you want to. At the same time the plot and setting of the game are worthy of a piece of great literature. The poverty stricken world where you are extremely poor or part of the few extremely rich conjures up images of Orwell's 1984. All in All its more than a game, its a masterpiece.

Summary: Great game!
Review: I haven't played many RPGs so I can't say that I'm an expert on them but I would have to say that this is one of the best games I've ever played and a different RPG game would be hard pressed to top it...

Summary: DANGEROUSLY ADDICTIVE
Review: "Deus Ex" is an FPS which incorporates large elements of role-play, strategy and adventure. It's also the best game I've ever played and equally good on the PC or PS2. The story begins in the near future, when society is on the verge of total collapse while powerful individuals and organisations conspire behind the scenes to achieve world domination. You are agent JC Denton and start the game working for UNATCO (a United Nations anti-terrorist force).... What I like most about the game is that you always have a huge number of choices to make. Most FPS games involve navigating a number of levels in which you have to find a few secrets and/or complete a particular task while shooting whatever gets in your way. In "Deus Ex" you always have primary goals to accomplish, but there's invariably at least 2 or 3 different routes or methods to achieve them, each with its own pluses and minuses. There are also secondary goals which you usually learn about by meeting a particular person and agreeing to help them in some way - which you can decide to go for or not. You also have a formidable selection of lethal weapons to choose from - but you're limited to carrying just 4 so you have to decide which you're most comfortable with. And acquiring a weapon is only the first step - because you then have to develop the necessary skills to use it effectively. Later on you also get the opportunity to upgrade and customise the weapons you've chosen with various add-ons. So to begin with it will sometimes take you several shots to bring down an enemy, but by the time you've mastered and modified your weapons to the max you can point and shoot with much greater accuracy. It's also just about possible to go through the entire game without killing anyone, in fact it's often preferable to stun opponents with a non-lethal weapon or use stealth to avoid detection. There's also an array of other skills you need to develop (lock picking, computer hacking, disabling security systems etc).... And as JC Denton happens to be a human being who's been enhanced by the very latest in bioengineering technology, you can also acquire nanoaugmentations and install them to improve various aspects of your strength, endurance and combat abilities. Throughout "Deus Ex" you are repeatedly confronted with "either/or" decisions which can potentially change the course of the game. For example, on your 3rd mission as a UNATCO agent (by which time you're already having severe doubts about the organisation you're working for) one of your goals is to kill a rebel leader - which you can easily do. But on the other hand - you can also decide to disobey orders and let him live, in which case a fellow agent arrives to finish the job - unless of course you decide to kill the agent. What you choose to do has repercussions later on.... You can also meet and interact with a huge number of people (with whom you can generally be as kind or ruthless as you like - or you can often choose to ignore them), you can play with many of the objects you see all around you just for the hell of it (televisions, phones, microwaves etc), and you can even smoke, drink and take drugs (although it won't do you much good). You find yourself constantly trying to work out who the good guys are. Although you need to make alliances with various people during the game, you can never completely trust any of them because they're also to some extent working against each other and could just be using you for their own ends. And for a long time it's not even clear who you're fighting against. Every time you think you've worked out what's going on, something invariably happens to make you question whether you're doing the right thing, and there always seems to be a fresh surprise waiting around the next corner.... There are 3 possible endings depending on who you finally decide to join up with - you choose who wins - and personally I really liked this, but gamers who prefer a spectacular "big bang" type of ending after killing all the bad guys might be disappointed. The game does have a few flaws - the graphics look a little dated, there's not as much action as I initially expected and the combat is not always as realistic as in other games I've played - but these are very minor quibbles in view of the awesome experience of the game as a whole. "Deus Ex" also has unparalleled replay value - there are so many different ways to get from beginning to end that you can return to it time after time and it won't be the same twice. I've never played a game which has kept me so hooked for so long and can't wait for DX2. Great stuff!

Summary: Superb!
Review: This is absolutely the best FPS I have ever played! It's got excellent gameplay which almost makes it feel more like an RPG than a FPS. The graphics are not quite up to par considering it uses the Unreal engine from a couple of years ago, but the graphics are still great. The sound is fabulous. The storyline is about as well put together as a storyline gets. I recommend this game to any gamer of any genre. The level editor is also the most fun thing I've ever used. Once you get used to it you get really hooked. It's also the best game you can buy for that price. Deus Ex is definately the best game. If you don't have it yet then pick it up now.

Summary: Best Game I Have Ever Played, Literally
Review: I just beat Deux Ex about 10 minutes ago, and I was astonished! This game allows you to chose your fate, your organizations fate, and the fate of the world. Every choice you make affects the outcome, and not all the outcomes are good. You could end up merging with a machine, joining the Illuminati, making a new dark age, and more. Not to mention the awesome graphics.
The game is so real, it felt as if I was a part of it, and the world issues at hand in the game felt as if they could actually happen. Friends die, or turn to enemies, some are spies, and one choice even lets you switch sides from good guy to bad guy. Or is it bad to good? You choose.

Summary: The game that changed the way I play games.
Review: This is the single best game I have ever played, but I am expecting even more from the upcoming sequel. The gameplay is extremely open-ended for a story-driven game. There are certain objectives that must be completed to progress the plot, but others are optional, and in all cases, exactly how you want to approach each objective is up to you. The overall plot of the game doesn't depend significantly on just how you complete individual objectives, but certain details do, including the way some NPCs react to you. I've played through this game four times so far, and there are still more possibilities I want to go back and explore. One of the things that impressed me most about this game was that all this freedom not only leads to emergent gameplay, it also manages to question the morality of the way the player chooses to play. I actually felt sorry for killing bad guys who could have just been knocked out with tranquilizers or a stun prod, especially after sneaking up close enough to overhear their conversations. For the first time, I found myself trying to determine which of the "bad guys" in a game "deserved" to die and which ones "thought they were doing the right thing." That's not to say that Deus Ex is all about morality and peaceful, non-violent solutions. That's just one possible approach to the game. If you prefer the Terminator approach, there's plenty of heavy-duty firepower to pull it off with, including assault rifles, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and plasma rifles. And there are plenty of well-armed security guards, cybernetic soldiers, and giant heavily armored military robots to use them on. The role-playing aspects of Deus Ex are in many ways similar to those in System Shock 2. You get to choose your favorite weapons and choose which modifications to apply to them. You spend skill points to improve your various skills, including different combat skills for the various kinds of weapons, lockpicking and electronics skills to bypass security, and environmental training and medical skills to reduce or repair the damage you take. And you have to choose which nano-technological augmentations to upgrade yourself with. For example, you can choose to augment your legs to either move faster or move quieter, but not both. And your arms can be upgraded with either enhanced melee combat strength or enhanced lifting strength. Choosing a combination of augmentations, skills, and weapons to suit a particular style of play is part of what gives Deus Ex such vast replayability. A role-playing aspect that was conspicuously missing from both System Shock games was interaction with NPCs. Not everyone in Deus Ex wants to kill you. Some are allies, a few are friends, and many are just bystanders, going about their lives. The voice acting, with a few notable exceptions, is very good, and the writing is exceptional. The people respond to your actions as well as your choices of conversation in mostly reasonable ways, and you find yourself interacting with them, not just for some extra points or a shortcut to your next objective, but because it's interesting and fun to get involved in their little side-stories. Between the open-ended freedom of achieving each goal as you see fit, the role-playing of character interaction and style development, and just keeping track of all the different conspiracies tied together in the intricate plot, Deus Ex gives the player a lot more to think about than your average First-Person Shooter Role-Playing Game. Specifically regarding the Game of the Year Edition, not only is it the final release, so you won't have to worry about downloading and applying any patches, it also comes with an extra audio CD of remixes from the soundtrack. And yes, the soundtrack really is good enough for a seperate CD.

Summary: graphics may get flashier but good gameplay never gets old
Review: be warned: many games, even games from other genres, will seem lackluster after playing this one. some of my favorite games that seemed oh so great now seem oh so shoddy compared to this masterpiece. every encounter, challenge and problem in this game can be solved in so many ways it's ridiculous. at some point i started feeling giddy every time i came across a challenge, wondering what secret i'd discover or what clever / zany / funny solution i'd come up with. personally i thought the graphics on the characters was the only drawback - the people walk in this kinda jerky, unrealistic fashion. they don't look like they "match" the otherwise nice cityscape graphics. however i forgot about this completely about one hour into game play, because i was too fascinated by the complexity of the world. i definitely plan to play the game a second time, and i think i could probably get 3 runs through out of the game since you can make your character totally different each time by picking different cybernetic augmentations and skills. if you enjoy smart, challenging gameplay that requires thought, strategy and effort, make sure you pick up a copy. for this quality of game entertainment it'd be a steal at twice the price.
