Astonishment from start to finish - that is this game

User Rating: 9.6 | Deus Ex PC
By ufopuller | Review Date:
When the author first obtained this game, it was more sophisticated that the at-the-time computer could handle. With a great deal of trepidation, the game was filed on the shelf for future game play. After a year of so, the old computer was replaced, enabling the author to play this game. Total astonishment was the feeling received by initiating the initial sequence of events that set the stage to a multi-faceted gaming. The player can either approach the game from a kill-all, take-all, be-all approach or take a more passive route (supposedly, one could traverse the entire game and ONLY have to kill three individuals)- that would indeed be a challenge. Being a great integration of FPS and RPG this game smacks of System Shock 2. There are a wide range of upgrades for bio-enhancement like being invisible, more strength with melee weapons, or just being able to run faster. Once you pick an up-grade, you are saddled with that for the entire game. So, pick your up-grades well. Weapons range from the mundane shotgun to quite sophisticated long range, scoped, high-powered "weapons of mass destruction". On the other hand, many weapons are non-lethal. The author has played this game at least four times. There are three different ending. Saving the game toward the end would afford one to try each without having to endure the entire game to see an alternative. Even though the game is futuristic in its setting there are many historically correct events and places that J.C. Denton (the main character) deals with. The game deserves a very high rating no matter what.
