If this title is half as good on the PS2 as it was for the pc than it is a must buy. My friend got it for the PC and I got hooked. Its a mix of almost any game genre all in one. In first person perspective you travel through many levels and are forced to solve puzzels, shoot the hell out of bad guys, find keys, and eventually choose sides. Help the agency or help your rogue brother. As a robot/human you are built to kill but can choose wether to be a nice robot or a shoot the beepin beep out of everything robot(killing civies is not punished :) happily). You can mace a little kid for the fun of it, or save a lonely bum, its all up to you. In my opinion this game is a must have whether you play PC or PS2.

This game was originally released for PC/MAC and did very well.It was so fun that I could even watch my brother play it.You (as a mechanized mercenary/agent)can explore New York, Hong Kong, and even Paris.(enough spoilers for now)You can get completely off course to break into apartments, warehouses, and so on.

As far as the story goes, you are betrayed by one person after another and you eventually end up as a loner.

As far as a first-person shooter goes, this ranks up there with Red Faction and TimeSplitters.(both for Ps2)I would definitely consider this game as very good and well-rounded.I already have it ordered.

the best interactive shooting game around

I have this game for PC and I must say, I can't wait until it comes out for PS2. Not only does this game have a creative plot, really sweet weapons, and plenty of options when it comes to how to play the game, where to go, and what weapons you want to use, but you can also interact with almost anyone that you run into (almost meaning you can talk to everyone as long as you have good relations with them). From one gamer to the next, if you haven't tried this game yet, then you better get your butt out there and buy this game for PC or order it for PS2 or both.

This may sound pathetic to some...

I also played this game in the PC originally, and finished it. I HAD to. It ruined a semester of college for me, it's that addictive. You'll start playing, and 4 hours will literally pass by unnoticed. The combination of 1st person play, A.I., the ability to make choices that control your gaming experience, the intelligence and suspense of the story line and character development, and the sheer scale of the gaming enviornment make this the greatest game I have ever experienced. And yes, you don't simply play this game, you experience it. As much as I love Grand Theft Auto 3. it doesn't hold a candle to the intelligence and story line that Deus Ex offers a gamer. What you may find pathetic though... is I miss this game. I loved it so much, I MISS it. I've never found waiting for a sequel to a game so torturous in all my life. I miss this game so much, I plan on buying it for the PS2 and enjoying it again. Here's hoping I don't ruin another semester.

Excellent plot...better graphics?

This is one of the most exceptional games of this era in terms of plot and character development. The only begging thing sometimes is the music...now to the good parts. First, the AI of both the Mac and PC side was tricky -- sometimes exceptionally brilliant and sometimes NOT. Next, one gains skills (augmentations) along the way to further the character's development. This requires the gamer to put at least some thought into the character. Third, each kill can determine what happens next...friend or foe or somewhere in between. This adds some complexity to the plot. Fourth, this plot is basically a mixture of the X-Files conspiracies ranging from Roswell to the Illuminati, and like the X-Files, there are betrayals and breaks of trust everywhere along the way. Lastly, some of the weapons are exceptional -- like the Dragon Sword.

Word of caution: Some of the AI gets really humorous at the end -- when the enemies start running into closed doors while you watch...and they keep on running...=)

Having played the PC version of DEUS EX until my mouse hand was reduced to little more than a gnarled nub, I thought I was going to have a hard time remaining objective about the quality of the PS2 port. Often when a popular PC game is ported to a console, it loses its soul in the translation (see GIANTS: CITIZEN KABUTO).

Ion Storm proved my fears to be unfounded. They've done a wonderful job with this one, including a flawless implementation of the PS2's controller that sees every single button used, and used quite well. The control is similar to other first-person games on the system; look with the right stick, walk with the left. The augs and skills are managed with the circle button, the inventory is managed with the square. Toggle crouch with the L3 button, reload with the R3. After about a half hour the control scheme becomes second nature. Beautiful.

Most of the maps have been redone in order to take advantage of/compensate for the PS2's hardware capabilities/limitations. Some levels have been streamlined and improved, yet others feel cramped, and it becomes obvious that the developers were trying to squeeze every ounce of processing power out of the system, and make every one of its 32 Megs of RAM pull more than its own weight. Some textures aren't as sharp as they could be, but the lighting effects are awesome and the NPC animation is first-rate. Load screens are frequent (moreso than in the PC version), but they're quick.

For those concerned about violence in video games; in a testament to the depth of gameplay, it's entirely possible to finish DEUS EX without killing a single person. For a challenge, try it on "realistic" difficulty, with auto-aiming off, playing non-lethal.

Give this one a go if you're a fan of conspiracy-based first-person shooter-sneakers with heavy RPG elements. Haven't found any games like that for the PS2 yet? Buy DEUS EX: THE CONSPIRACY. It'll keep you busy for weeks.

This Year's MGS2

There is only one word to describe this game.....AWESOME!! I rented it at first not knowing what to expect, but when I got home I wasn't disappointed. It has some serious plot and a very addictive style to it. The game will never let you down and is a definite contender for this year Game of the Year and the year just began.
