Summary: The title on the box says it all! Game of the Year!
Review: I personally loved every minute of DX. I own the original and this edition. I have owned DX for a year, and I'm still not tired of it. With the game of the year edition, you get the unreal mission editior. You can use this to make new or edit the game levels. It is hard to use, but if you go to the many Deus Ex websites, there are a lot of tutorials to help you out. I am currently anticipating Deus Ex 2. Deus Ex is a must buy for anybody who loves to play excellent PC games.

Summary: Deus Ex
Review: Deus Ex is a first person shooter rpg. It is one of the best games ever made with a long and excellent single player gameplay and with a great replay value. It has a great and lenghty storyline. Set in the future, the world is in bad shape with martial law almost all cities, there is poverty and famine everywhere, now a plague called grey death has broken out. Besides a great story the player will be given options of what to say everywhere and the story changes the way you play. Like in the first mission you have to take over the terrorist in the statue of liberty, if you killed the terrorist leader then after a few missions someone will take revenge. In another you have to save a girl hostage, if you save her you will be rewarded and if you failed the game will continue it does not say mission failed, restart level, and the game has three great endings. You play J.C.Denton an agent in the unatco with his brother paul. Unatco is an anti terrorist agency, a few missions later you will find out what the agency really is. Denton is a bionic man who can be trained to hack computers, pick locks, use powerfull weapons and even move or swim faster with the nanotech upgrades. Deus Ex's level design is fantastic, You can go anywhere and do anything you want. All the objectives have several approaches to complete, there is always a door you can blow it open with explosives, a door with a lock you can pick, a door with a computerised lock you can hack open ect. The world detail is fantastic, you can turn on the shower, operate the soda machine ect, there are also a lot of secrect passage. Be sure to explore all the places and talk to everyone you see and the crosshair shows green before going to the next level.

Deus Ex is very hard game and you upgrade your skills as you play. Players may find the game very frustrating as they will find themselves without enough ammo, multitool or lockpicks, that is mostly because they wasted their inventory. Deusex is a game in which every bullet and other items you use matters. It is also a game to save every minuite, it is better to save before every combat and reload the game if you wasted a lot of inventory items and not only if you got killed. The AI is very bad, but i think it is part of the game, as it is not a game with you as a heavily armed soldier must kill all the smart bad guys and procced to the next level. It is a game which gives you hard choices and second guess every action you do. Only the correct choices will get you past the bad guys even if they are very dumb. Deusex multiplayer is also good, It is a much different experiance from other games, you have to hack computers ect. Deus Ex is built on the unreal tournament engine. I played it on the Direct3D video mode and the game runs very smooth, load times were good. The first version may be optimised only for 3dFx-Glide but this version has a great direct3d code. I played it on direct3d 800x600x32 with detail textures and the game runs fine, opengl support is also quite good. The bad things are, the graphics are not very good, the charecters look very ugly, save games take large disk space. But the great gameplay makes up for it. Deus Ex is one of the best games i have ever played, it deserves the game of the year award. Get Deus Ex, It is the game of the future.

Summary: SO spectacular.
Review: This game is a victim of injustice, and horribly overlooked and underrated (yes, even with the 5's everywhere!). Without a doubt, of course, the fault lies with Daikatana and the ever-special John Romero, who just about singlehandedly buried Ion Storm and its potential. Daikatana is why I tuned out from buying this game (until the overwhelming word of mouth forced me to try it), and I'm sure it is a big reason why most gamers didn't give it a second glance when it was released. It was my loss.

In short, this game is the best in several years...the story, characters and dialog are simply incredible, and technically the game is all but perfect: gameplay, music, sound, voice acting, length, graphics, maps, atmosphere, ending...EVERYTHING works.

I haven't felt this blown away by a game in years, and there is now no game I'm looking forward to more than Deus Ex 2. Warren Spector is a god, and his team and game deserve much more than one degree of separation from the likes of Romero and Daikatana. If you liked System Shock, Thief, cyberpunk worlds like that of Blade Runner, and story quality equal to Planescape:Torment, get this game. It'll be the most enjoyable weeks of gameplay you've had in years, if ever.

Summary: best FPS game ever made.
Review: I have played over fifteen FPS games from start to finish, and this is the best one of them all. Some of the other games I tried were Half Life, Soldier of Fortune, Rogue Spear, Hitman, Perfect Dark, and many others. The thing that sets Deus Ex apart from all the rest is the individual, realistic quality. No matter how good the graphics, and no matter how good the plot, it seems like every time the creators fall back into the same old pattern of setting up targets with no personality and mowing them douwn. I Deus Ex there is so much more to it than that. No matter how much you play it, You always discover something new. As in all good FPS games, there are obstacles that you have to get past, but rather than having to just climb boxes or shoot broken pipes or something, you have to interact with the characters and figure things out. Each of the enemy and friendly characters has depth, and sometimes the success of the entire mission depends on talking to someone on the street or in the bar or anywhere. In parts you have to find a bum standing in a dark alleyway, or an ally in a secret apartment to give you a key or vital information.

The other thing about this game is the incredible depth of the character the player controls. The health alone is more complex, because you have five sections on your body, and each dies at a diferent rate. You could have no legs and need to crawl around until you can find more health. This could be represented in a candybar, soyfood, a medkit, wine, and many other things. In addition, you have a highly advanced technology which alows you to install augmentations. You can install night vision, bullet resistance, even the capability to dispatch spy drones with EMP attacks. The possibilitys range to ove 50 different augmentations, each upgradable to level four. As you complete tasks and discover new places, you gain experience. With this experience, you can upgrade skills to master level. You can learn to pick locks, disable security, heal with more efficiency, hack into computers, and becom more capable with various types of weapons, explosives, and equipment.

This game is by far the coolest game ever invented, and I am now greatly enjoying playing it for the sixth time. Whether you are a veteran gamer as am I, or just want to try an FPS game for variety, go to the store and buy it now, because if you wait you will mourn the time lost without it.

Summary: Close, but not perfect.
Review: Deus Ex is a very good game...but not a great game. The levels are super cool and there are a bunch of em, but the game gets somewhat repetitive and linear (until the last level).
The cybernetic augmentations (implants) allow for a certain amount of character specialization, but most of them are pretty useless in my opinion. I think I actually used 4 or 5 out of the 10-12 (or however many total augs there are). Only one or two were used with any sort of regularity.
The biggest disappointment, however, was the ending(s). There are several different endings, dependant upon choices you make during the game, and none of them were worth a .... The end game cinematics were .... There was little or no decent, clarifying information about what actually happened after the game ended, just a quote relating to the final decision made by the main character. Every one of the endings were extremely anticlimactic and truly left a bad taste in my mouth, especially considering the tremendous length of the game, as well as perhaps the strongest plot in any game I've ever played.
All that being said, these flaws simply detracted from what would have otherwise been a phenomenal gaming experience.
It's really too bad that a game like this, which does some things better than any other game I've ever played (the buildings/levels were brilliant), had to have such a poor ending sequence, thus leaving the gamer with a negative final impression of the game as a whole. The ending is the most important part of the game to me. Without a good ending, I just can't bring myself to give the game more than a "good" rating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best ever - it will rule your world
Review: It's your First Person shooter with just about every single variable you can imagine. It's a futuristic setting where humans can be "augmented" either by limb replacements (cyborganisation) or nano-technology (internal augs). You can upgrade your abilities throughout the game, as well as modify your weapons to reduce recoil, increase clip capacity, accuracy, etc. You can even load different types of ammo. The real key though, is that if you equip a heavy weapon (rocket launcher), you'll move slower than if you were holding a pistol. Does any other "shooter" do that? Nope! And behind all of that, is a great story with branching storylines, spot on voice acting and a brilliantly dark atmosphere. Like govt. conspiracy theories? it's here. Like sniping at terrorists? it's here. Like hacking computers and ATMs for cash? it's here. Go get it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Game
Review: This is an incredibly complex game, you can play it 50 times and it is never the exact same. Written so you can choose what your charcter is adds to the game by giving YOU more control over your charcter. Over all a worth while game.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best 3d game i ever played
Review: I've done all the 3-d games since ID games Wolfenstein and this has got to be the best one of all. PROS: A complicated plot that lets you make choices affects the path you follow with different endings. You also have to choose your weapons, you can upgrade weapons. You build your character like a RPG. The game goes on and on. I played everyday and it took me a month to finish. great graphics, characters.
