Excellence, 2008-05-31
Easily one of the greatest games ever made. A fluent and compelling storyline, amazing weapons and features still impressive 7 years later, great action, and an overwhelming feeling that you can solve a problem in this game in any way that you want to. There's more than one way to do just about everything. 5 stars out of 5
An amazing,innovative and original game, 2008-04-29
So what is the fuss all about? Deus Ex was ahead of its time. It merged RPG elements into a First Person Shooter and allowed multple ways to finish every mission, which raised the reply value. I am actually upset because there aren't more games like this one. We see the same generic FPS formula redone over and over again. Companies can still learn from Deus Ex and they should. Deus Ex offers some very satisfying gameplay. Even though Deus Ex seems to be a FPS, it allows you to do things that you don't normally find in an FPS. You can hack computers, use lock picks on doors, and blow up doors. That is an example of how Deus Ex gives you multiples ways to accomplish an objective. The way you kill is also a factor. You can use melee weapons, pistols, heavy guns, and sniper weapons. You can actually increase you effectiveness with using these weapons by raising your experience level in them. This little tidbit makes the game quite addictive. The graphics have not aged well, but nonetheless, the superb gameplay should make you forget about that, even for the most shallow gamers today. So is it worth getting? YEAH!
 Love FPS-RPGs?, 2008-04-13
Deus Ex is a wonderful game. It was one of the first FPS-RPGs (First-Person Shooter / Role-Playing Game), allowing the user to add skill points in various attribute areas, such as weapons, first aid, the use of numerous protective equipment. Each open-style mission allows the user to find multiple entrance points to the target site, based on skill and play-style. The Choose-Your-Own-Adventure dialog also allows for a new set of choices for every replay.
The graphics are now dated, but it is a classic game.
If you like the style and gameplay of Deus Ex, you should also try Mass Effect.
Deus Ex GOTY, 2008-03-11
Deus Ex has very often been called the greatest Role Playing Games ever created, and with good reason. Though the graphics are incredibly dated if you can see passed this there is fantastic gameplay, and intriguing plot and, suprisingly, interesting questions raised about human nature and political ideology.
The last may sound quite pompous but do not let this put you off. The game is a First Person Shooter and is filled with action. The detail in the game is astonishing. Many times I've decided to simply wander around and talk to other characters and investigate areas and found computers whose owners are having conversations about security, affairs or even mundane repairs. There is always something new to find each time you play.
And you will play this many times. While the game can take about 40-45 hours to complete (if you take your time) there are numerous choices to make which will affect how missions go, or how certain characters react to you. This level of detail allows you to complete goals in several different ways. You can choose to shoot it out, use stealth or simply buy your way in. And, in the odd occasion, you don't have to do a thing. You can just walk away.
You play as J.C. Denton, a UNATCO (United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition) agent. This group was formed after a terrorist attack in New York in which the Twin Towers fell and the Statue of Liberty was destroyed. Considering this game was made in the late 90s it is strange that the Towers are no longer in the skyline of 2054 New York.
The plot is full of twists which you really do not see coming. The critically acclaimed soundtrack, which comes with this edition on a separate CD, fits perfectly with the mood of each moment of the game. The only problem? The second CD which contains the level editor and soundtrack can be a pain to get working. Other than that, this is a great game; still better than most games on the market today and only a fraction of the price. Every PC gamer should have this.
