 Nothing too impressive about this game, 2007-09-30
With all the great reviews this game had, I was looking forward to playing this. Maybe it's just me, but I had trouble finding anything that this game had that made it any different from any other first person shooters. It adds extra abilities or augmentations that you can use like enhancing your jump, improved aim, resilience, etc... All which of course take up your battery power to have these abilities. Now one complaint that I had about this though, is that one of the abilities you get is a flash light. It becomes handy at different points of the game, but why the He** does it take up just as much power as your other augments? For some reason, you only get about 2 minutes of light off the same battery that also gives you the strength to lift a crate that's 10X your weight.
This game offers nothing new to me that I haven't seen and I'm a little bit confused about what all the hype is, but if you like First person games then maybe you'll like this one. It's really cheap now do to it being an old game, so I say give it a try and see what you think.

Immersive and gripping., 2007-08-29
I gave up playing games about a decade ago, but I had a few days off recently, and I picked this game up because I heard it was the best game ever made... and it is! I honestly don't think I've ever enjoyed a computer game so much as I did this one. It plays like an action game, but your character develops like in a role-playing game, and the story's so compelling (excellent writing, on par with any TV show and with many films) that I found myself playing on and on because I wanted to see what would happen next. Truly a unique experience, and easily the best computer or video game I've ever seen.

"Shooting" star, 2007-07-24
I have always been an "adventure gamer" and this is the first game of this type I have enjoyed enough to complete. The strategy and decisions that need to be made in each phase of this game makes it unique. The ability to save infinitely helps too. I never got through "Prince of Persia" because of the save issue.

Wonderfully intricate, 2007-05-13
As an avid player of RPGs and first person shooters, I really like this game. The story, plot, and action are easily on par with a game like Half-Life but what really sets this game apart is the breath of detail in how main characters and NPCs interact with the main character as the game progresses based upon decisions made throughout the game. This makes for exceptional replay value.
The only thing that seemed rather odd to me when I first played it, is that for a cybernetically enhanced individual, his jumping ability is pretty feeble. It doesn't hurt the game, it just seemed odd. But after thinking about it (and playing the game again), I think games like Quake, Half-Life, and Unreal have more forgiving physics.
Anyway a really fantastic game.

Great game, if you can get it to work., 2007-05-12
I saw the "compatible with xp" sticker so I did not forsee any problems. It took about a week of trying different install kernels, editing .ini files, mounting disk images, and various other things to try and install this in XP. Eventually I just had to install it on a win2000 machine and move all the folders to mine via flash thumb drive.
But if you can get it to install it is a great atmospheric game. A good mix between KOTOR and Perfect Dark.
