Deus Ex seamlessly combines two of the biggest genres in video gaming: first person shooters and role-playing games. While the graphics are certainly dated by today's standards, the game is not short on fun. The weapons are customizable, all of the nano-aug powers are upgradeable, and the skill system is easy to learn. This game is great for RPG fans and FPS fans alike, and even better for fans of both.

One of the best games ever

I played the PC version of the game a while ago and it was one of the best games ever made. I got the PS2 version because I wanted to play it again but didn't have the CD anymore. The PS2 version has the same great plot and innovative gameplay. The only drawback is the levels are split into smaller zones, so there's more loading time. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

This one never gets old

I could replay Deus Ex once a year because it is so cool, different, and has a nifty storyline. You can affect the way the game goes by making different decisions at crucial times. Plus, their is an educational component to the story. It does give lots of interesting facts in conspiracy-related areas. You can't lose!

FUN

This is one of the greatest games of all time. The plot is incredible, keeping you on your toes throughout the gaming experience. The grapics are decent, especially for the age of this game and the system it was on. I loved the opportunity to make choices that determined my character's progression.

A little RPG and a little FPS = a lot of FUN

HUGE disappointment

I like alot of other reviewers here got this game because everyone had the PC version and was ranting and raving about how great it was.

I'm not gunna dwell much on the graphics, because if you've read any of the other reviews you'll know it looks like an atari game. Not even to be mean, trying to figure out the "multiple" ways to solve a problem is pretty darn tough when everything in the game looked like a pixilated mess. Probably the one thing i couldnt get over the during the game was the sound effects. Another reviewer said he thought the sounds were a 10/10. He must have had the volume REAL low, cuz toy guns sound more convincing. I remember playing through the 1st level trying out the non gunfire weapons (knives, swords etc) and laughed out loud at the sound effects. THEN found out guns made the same noise! Regardless of any weapon you use the only sound effect you get is a Whapping sound that could be compared to snapping your belt. It made the game more humorous than anything else.

So we all know how bad it looks and sounds, how about how well it plays. I've never played the computer version, but the ps2 version is a clunky mess. Everytime you look around, a bright green box surrounds anything important. Sounds helpful, but when you are in the middle of a gun fight and the auto aim switches over to highlight a plant or something stupid its fairly frustrating. As other people mentioned, everytime you do anything such as switch a weapon or use an item you need to switch from menu to menu. This completely broke any level of enjoyment I rarely got out of this catastrophe of a game.

Dont let the price fool you, this game is an ugly mess. I even got it for less used a video game store, and couldnt even finish it because i couldnt take this mess seriously. Do yourself a favor and buy a better ps2 game.

Oldie But Goodie!

This is an older game. But the game play surpasses some of the newer games. Great storyline, game play and game!!!

Deus Ex - The best game ever

To make this brief: I play lots of games and this one is truly remarkable. The best one I've ever played. I've been wanting to play it for years but I don't like playing games on the PC. I found this one for the PS2 and bought it at a very low price and began to play it. There is so much to do and explore. It's not just shooting your way into completing your goals. You can use stealth or shooting sprees. There are puzzles to solve and a multitude of ways to solve these puzzles. The scenes are enormous. Take your time to play the game and explore each level. It's amazing.

One of the Best! Check it out, You'll see!

Some of the reviews here are as long as this game. So I am going to make this short and sweet. Deus Ex is one of the best games I have ever played. It kept me captivated for about 3 weeks. As I built up J. C.'s (the main character) skill level, game play was even more fun. There were so many places to go the things to see and get. And for the best part I still can't believe, I got this game at a very low price.

Just wanted to back up the REAL reviewers opinion that this is the BEST GAME EVER, and that is all there is to it

When I say this, I am taking mario, pitfall, pacman, mario rpg, gran turismo, any game that you can name, this is better.

The past reviewer said that he has played this all the way through 6 times and still finds it entertaining. WELL I HAVE MADE IT THROUGH IT 10!!!! TIMES AND I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT I HAVE DISCOVERED EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO IN THIS. But I will still have to play it an 11th cause the 10th time I found like 5 undiscovered things. Honestly you will be playing this for the 10th time and you will go behind some building and see an old man and he will tell you all this new info on the story that will lead to something else happening in the game that didn't happen last time.

The game is so original in the way it allows you to interact with people and so many times that you get to talk to the same people, yet have different and very interesting conversations.

The first time I played this I played o nteh medium hard level and was wondering if it was ever going to end, and I just jept on hoping it wouldn't. After about 6 days and playing it about 12 hours!!!!!!! a day, I thought my wish was gonna come true and never end, but unfortunately it did and I had to move on with my life.

So the only bad part about this game is that it does end, but as long as you can get over that, it is very enjoyable. Now we just need to figure out a way to have all games made by eidos. that would be sweet.

Also about this game ending, you shouldn't buy this if you get real emotional after playing a good game and life is just depressing when you beat it. But don't worry, you can use this game just like crack for about a year, then you need to get hitman contracts, and then you can go make video games because you have played and beaten the 2 best games ever.

Legendary game

When I play this game I can't help feel slightly disappointed by the fact that the PC version is so much better and that it is just a cheap port created because the developers felt like squelching more money out of the innocent people that are you and me. However, with that 'truth' aside, this game is an absolute masterpiece and no matter how rushed together this game is, it is still better than about 99% of games on the market today.

Graphics: 6/10
The graphics on the PS2 version of this game are only just above average. At first glance they look and feel smooth and textured. But, if you zoom into any of the objects in the game then you will realise that they are made up of pixels about the size of football pitches. As for the smoothness, it only takes a small gun battle with about two or three enemy soldiers and this game begins to freeze and ju... jum. p, jump.

Sound: 10/10
This is what first 'Wowed' me about the game, the music is incredible and is worthy of a Grammy any day... well actually, I wouldn't go that far, but it's still great. The music changes appropriately with the mood of the game e.g. if you are in an intense sneaking area then the music won't start blaring out some kind of heavy rock like in some games. The sound effects are top notch and the guns don't sound whim perish either.

Game play: 10/10
This is where the game really gets its place in the gaming hall of fame for me because it gives you so much choice and you can choose exactly how you play the game. You can upgrade your weapons using things like scopes, laser sights, silencers, extended mags and faster reload mods etc. You can also improve your character with character modifications. These include melee weapon skill upgrades, defence upgrades and rifle upgrades etc. In addition to this you can use special augmentation canisters which allow you to do a lot of things such as increase speed, increase jump height and reduce running noise etc. you choose which of these you use because, ultimately, its these choices which affect the way you play the game. Aswell as upgrading you're character, they're many routes you can take through the game and many different people you can talk too and different sides you can take. These choices also affect the outcome of the game. This is all very important because there are three different endings to choose from. Never before have I seen a game that has such diverse and dynamic game play as this.

Lifespan: 10/10
The first thing I noticed about this game was the fact it had no multiplayer. This was a down draw for me because it's usually the multiplayer, which keeps you going back to a game. However, the actual game is so long, it will take you ages to complete and, not only that but once you have completed it you will want to complete it again and again differently. The game also has a training mode, which will take away about, ewwww, 10 minutes of your time. Now that can't be bad can it?

Overall 10/10
Apart from the graphics this game is spectacular and well deserves all the hype it has received. It has won over 50 game of the year awards on the PC and deservedly so. Just remember, graphics don't make a game so go and buy this now.
