Pros: Excellent story and immersion Cons: Weapons constantly break, lots of running around for research
The original System Shock was a sleeper hit when it was released in 1992, garnering many critic votes for the best game of the 1990s. It was a game set in a futuristic world gone horribly wrong. It was a first person shooter that broke the mold,...
Pros: Everything about this game is amazing Cons: Cant think of any
Fear is creeping down a dark corridor, listening to the creak of the starship’s hull around you, straining for that one telltale sound that may mean the difference between life and death.
Fear is hearing the accounts of your shipmates as they...
Pros: Good visuals, amazing positional sound system, intricate plot, bargain price, excellent introduction of role playing elements, nice research feature. Cons: Can be frustrating at times, weapons jam in the worst moments, “Body of the many level is irritating beyond belief.
System Shock 2 is one of those rare games that cross genres and appeal to all types of gaming fans just on its aesthetics alone. SS2 could be thought of as Half-Life meets The Matrix. The action is first person à la Half-Life and the setting is the...
Pros: Terrifying, interactive, involving. Cons: Guns break down too often, blocky graphics.
I heard of System Shock 2 a while ago, while I was going over what games a friend of mine had. He told me about the general layout of SS2 and I decided to check it out. Having never played, or for that matter...heard of....System Shock, I really...
Pros: Graphics, sound, immersion, some horror, gameplay. Cons: Some may not like horror, not for children.
Background
I could be fairly described as a hardcore role-playing gamer. I prefer role-playing games (RPGs) that are heavy on detail and consider the playing of an actual role very important in these games. I don’t mind one way or the about...
Pros: Excellent story, sound, and gameplay Cons: Scary
I'll be frank: I'm a wimp when it comes to scary movies. I saw Event Horizon (thinking it would be like Alien) and it REALLY disturbed me. Something about the malevolent universe principle. This colors my review of System Shock 2, FYI.
Pros: Immersive story. Positional sound. Actually scary to play! Cons: Might be frustrating to a deathmatch shooter junkie.
System Shock 2 is the rare game like Half-life or Thief that is far more than the simple action game that Doom virtually created so many years ago. Actually it is much more than even a 1st person shooter with a story. It actually succeeds as a Role...
Pros: Incredible atmosphere, sound, plot. Will inspire true terror like no game you've ever played Cons: Combat CPU-intensive, sometimes ambiguous mission objectives
To me it's absolutely criminal that Half-Life has outsold the vastly superior System Shock 2 by a factor of almost 10 to 1. By all means SS2 is a superior game in almost every regard--graphics, atmosphere, audio, voice acting, player-customization,...
Pros: Amazing depth plot full of twists! Good graphics and sound! Cons: Frustrating at times, annoying loading experiences.
"How can you resist the powers of the flesh?"
-The Many, System Shock 2
First, the price is extremely low! Some people may assume that it's cheap cost may mean a cheap game. Nope! Sequel to PC Gamer's #6 game of all time, System Shock 2...
Pros: Read my review. Cons: Read my review, dammit! :-)
But I'm not even a gamer!
If you're like me, then you use your computer primarily to access the Internet. Games come second. And if you wince at the price of new games--like I do--you're probably VERY careful about how you buy your...
Pros: Excellent merging of genres, sound, memorable Cons: Some long loads, enemy respawn, constant weapon repair
The original System Shock by Origin was one of the most original and under-appreciated games of its time. It appeared in the shadow of Id’s DOOM, and was maybe just a bit too novel for its own good. Gamers were too mesmerized by DOOM’s...
Pros: Scared the crud outta me Cons: A bit slow at some times
Some people may immediately assume that System Shock 2 is just Half-Life, only not Half-Life. Of course, those people were probably frightened by the terrors that dwell inside the game...
System Shock 2 is without a doubt, one of the most...
Pros: Suspenseful, beautiful scenery, great RPG aspect. Cons: Music detracting from atmosphere, multiplayer.
System Shock 2, now by the defunct Looking Glass Software, is one of those few games that successfully merges a first person shooter with content, a feat shared by a select few others in the past (Half-Life, Rainbow Six). System Shock 2 takes place...
Pros: FPS and RPG mixed together very well. Scary and challenging game. Cons: Very hard. Weapons degrade too quickly.
I've always loved the idea of 2 genres merging, and the first successful game I played was Battlezone. It was brilliant. I knew if someone combined my favorite genres, FPS and RPG, it would create a game that would be almost perfect. The now deceased...
