Deus Ex - PC

Pros Cons
Addictive gameplay  
Fantastic multiplayer  
Intense action  
Innovative concepts  
Great Game!

Great game, Myself and a lot of people used to play this game almost everyday a few years ago. We used to play online all the time & there are still people that play online. & because the community was not very big 200 players at most usually everybody pretty much knew everybody else and our Clans were well known and so on.

Great game, Might have to get back into the MP.

Deus Ex - PC

God from a machine.

With it's first person shooter gameplay, deep story, RPG style stat level ups, and it's open level design is it any wonder why people have a hard time classifying Deus Ex within the bounds of a genre.

Located in the near future you are JC Denton, a nano augmented agent of the United Nations Anti-Terrorist Coalition or UNATCO for short. You start out on JC's first mission which is to retrieve a hijacked shipment of ambrosia (the cure to the current deadly plague epidemic known as the "Gray Death") from the National Secessionist Force (NSF)who has barricaded themselves into what's left of the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island in NYC. From there the story proceeds to take you on a roller coaster ride of conspiracy theories, and secret societies which takes you around the world and back.

Deus Ex is a game of free choice. The levels are riddled with multiple and hidden paths and which one you take is completely up to you. Do you go in guns blazing against you enemies with lethal force, do you find an air duct and sneak around your enemies keeping your non lethal tranquilizer darts handy in case you're spotted, or do you hack a computer terminal and turn their own turret against them and walk over their corpses after it's finished desposing of them? Those are just a few examples of the kind of choices the games gives you. You'll never play through the game the same way twice. Whether it's your first time through or your fifth, you'll constantly be finding new routes and new ways to deal or avoid a problem with. You also have the choice to kill anyone you see, just be ready to deal with the consequences of your choices.

One of the most unique features that sets DX apart is it's completly customizable to your style of play via skills, nano augmentations and weapons modification. The game gives you skill points throughout the game for completing objectives or finding new areas with which you use to level up a variety of personal stats like lock picking, computer hacking, or even how long you can hold your breath onder water. The Nano augs give you super human powers like super strength or life regeneration, and the wepons mods let you improve stuff like the accuracy, and reload times. If you want to pick a door lock while healing your wounds, and holding you silenced shotgun then go ahead.

Bottom line:Deus Ex is a perfect blend of FPS action, deep storyline, and RPG stat leveling that no one should do without. Go buy it, and go buy it now.

Deus Ex

This is another FPS that can go down in history as 1 of the best. This game gives you so many choices that you can play 5-6 times and get different responses. A must have for FPS and RPG fans. If you don't own it yet and own a PS2 wait until the PS2 version comes out.
