Summary: The first time I ever heard about Deus Ex I was a mere lad of 17 who couldn't afford a PC to call his own. Yet what I was reading intrigued me. The creators of the game were steadfast in their promises for the advancement of the FPS genre. Many ... read more

Pros: Won't beat it quickly, Adventurous Storyline, Addictive
Cons: Graphics aren't mind-blowing, but who cares.
Summary: ~~ Intro ~~ You are JC Denton: a technologically enhanced counter-terrorist operative. At the start of the game, you are trained in all of your special abilities and the plot is quickly wrapped around you with a few very provocative cutscenes. ... read more

Pros: Great story, about as far from "linear" as a circle.
Cons: Old game--old graphics. Spotty AI.
Summary: So I was at this spelling bee the other day. 5 kids had started out up on the stage, only 2-Timmy and Gordon--were left standing. It was intense, I’m telling you. Egregious. . . marquisette. . . hexamethylenetetramine. . . they could have gone on ... read more

Pros: Non-Linear gameplay, ultra interactivity,UBER replay value, and you get to be a cyborg!
Cons: Graphics aren't super, ran slower than it needed to.
Summary: Gameplay
Let's look at the gameplay. In the first mission, you start off dropped on a dock near the statue of liberty which has been decapitated by a terrorist attack. Your job is to infiltrate the statue and interrogate the leader. Now you are ... read more

Pros: Great storyline, unparalleled latitude in gameplay choices.
Cons: Showing it's age.
Summary: Ok, let's start this review off with some unvarnished truth, shall we?
I have far bigger and shinier games than Deus Ex. My graphics card is so ridiculously overpowered to run Deus Ex that it probably spends all it's spare GPU cycles ... read more

Pros: gameplay , the stealth factor, the conversations
Cons: graphics..
Summary: A simple question before I begin this review on the game. Tell me how many games you have played where you are required to use your stealth skills (I am not very good at it), RPG tactics (okay, I am pretty decent in that) and your shooting and FPS skills ... read more

Pros: Amazingly complex storyline- Your actions decide your fate!
Cons: not-top-of-the-line graphics.
Summary: It is the most important decision you will ever have to make. The course you take will change the world as we know it. Do you meld with the omniscient Helios, an all-encompassing computer program designed to protect the values of the common man? Or do ... read more

Pros: Incredible gameplay. Nice graphics. Good voice acting. Practical and costomizable control layout.
Cons: Not much.
Summary: If you're still laughing at Dikitana, you might want to begin to take Ion Storm seriously. This masterpeice of a game scores well in all catagories making it a gaming experience.
The gameplay is fluid. The entire storlyline moves smoothly ... read more

Pros: Great gameplay, superb sound, lots of interactivity, captivating story, feels very realistic.
Cons: Slow framerate, graphics are good and bad in different places, some drab-looking environments.

Pros: Fun, addicting
Cons: I got two hours of sleep on a work night

Pros: very deep quest, multiple paths, full speech, realistic graphics, tons of replay value
Cons: high system requirements, wish this game would never end!!!
Summary: Deus Ex is a deeply involving first person shooter that is smart and fresh instead of being redundant and rehash. I think Warren Spector, who produced the game, knew we were all sick of Quake and Doom clones and needed a smart and witty shooter that ... read more

Pros: Plot, graphics, gameplay, music.
Cons: Certain spots are INCREDIBLY frustrating; system slowdown is also inevitable.
Summary: ...well, actually, it is. But I'll get back to that later. Deus Ex, one of the most addictive and horrifyingly frustrating games I have ever played, is a mystery wrapped in an enigma surrounded by a riddle, all shrouded in darkness. Taking points ... read more

Pros: Great Gameplay, fairly realistic, intricate plot, fantastic music, just plain fun.
Cons: Some AI problems, addictive, lotsa prostitutes in China (bad image for Chinese anyway), no Multiplayer
Summary: Deus Ex has been said to take RPG's to a whole different plain of existence, moving away from the old Dungeons & Dragons style of game. Instead, DE integrates several RPG elements into a traditional First-Person Shooter/Action game. In the end, the game ... read more

Pros: Offers good variety and doesn't always encourage running in and blowing everything away.
