One of the best action-RPG's ever made. It has flaws but the great combat makes up for them.

User Rating: 8.5 | Deus Ex PC
The other reviews note what the game is really great at: upgradable abilities, immersive and large levels, and multiple ways of accomplishing mission goals. The game is all of those things. It has some faults too: The game seems to promise that your decisions in each level will affect the next level you visit, but that is only very rarely the case. Some of the plot developments are too quickly resolved, as if the game developers cut things from the game in order to release it (though the story-line is very good over all). The graphic engine is perfectly fine but a bit washed out and bland-looking on several levels. The best level of the game, Hong Kong, is so much better than any of the other levels, you realize that the game could have been truly amazing if more levels were like that one. Other games in the same genre are better, like System Shock 2, but this game holds its own. Unfortunately the sequel to Deus Ex is quite disappointing: stay away from it if you can.
